Study Notes
Bone Tissue
- Solid ground substance composed of calcium carbonate
- Contains blood and nerve supply running through Haversian Canal systems
- Haversian systems carry blood and lymph for nourishment
- Lacunae contain chondrocytes (cartilage cells)
Vascular Tissue
- Liquid matrix is plasma containing 90% water and 10% plasma proteins, electrolytes, hormones, oxygen, glucose
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
- Found in bronchi, trachea, uterine tubes, and some parts of the uterus
- Propels mucus or reproductive cells via ciliary action
Unicellular
- Found in the small intestine
- Involved in digestion, excretion, and respiration
Multicellular
- Found in skin
- Provides protection
Germinal
- Refers to sex cells
- Sperm cells are found in the testes
- Egg cells are found in the ovaries
Connective Tissue
- Cells are widely separated in a matrix produced by the cells
- The matrix is composed of two regions: ground substance and fibers
- Ground substance can be liquid (sol), gel, gum, or solid
- Fibers can be non-elastic (collagen, white fibers) or elastic (yellow fibers)
Loose Connective Tissue (Areolar)
- Gel-like ground substance with elastic and non-elastic fibers running through
- Contains fibroblasts and collagen fibers
- Wraps and cushions organs
- Found under the skin
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
- Collagen fibers arranged in parallel rows
- Mostly non-elastic fibers
- Found in tendons and ligaments
Adipose (Fat) Tissue
- Cells store lipids
- Contain a large vacuole
- Nucleus and cytoplasm are pushed to the edge of the cell
Cartilage
- Gum-like ground substance
- Cells are found in lacunae within the matrix
- Fibers can be elastic or non-elastic (reticular fibers are very thin)
Hyaline Cartilage
- Found at the ends of bones
- Outer surface is covered by fibrous layers called perichondrium
Muscle Tissue
- Cells contain fibers specialized for contraction
Skeletal Muscle
- Parallel elongated cells
- Multinucleated, with each cell spanning the length of the muscle
- Contains striations (dark and light bands)
- Voluntary muscle
Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue
- Found in the kidney
- Involved in secretion and absorption
Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue
- Found in the small intestine and stomach
- Involved in secretion and absorption
Sperm Cell
- Found in the testes
- Delivers male DNA
Egg Cell
- Found in the ovary
- Involved in generating a new individual
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue is a type of tissue that supports, protects, and binds other tissues together.

Dense Connective Tissue
- Source: Tendon
- Type: Connective Tissue
- Function: Support and protection
- Example: Collagen fibers
-
Cartilage
- Source: Bone
- Type: Connective Tissue
- Function: Support and protection
Bone Tissue

Structure:
- Composed of a matrix surrounding chondrocytes (cartilage cells)
- Cartilage cells reside in lacunae, which are cavities in the matrix
Vascular Tissue
- Source: Blood Smear
- Type: Connective Tissue
- Function: Carry substances throughout the body, including oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
-
Components:
- Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells): Carry oxygen
- Leukocytes (White Blood Cells): Fight infection
- Platelets: Involved in blood clotting
Muscle Tissue
-
Skeletal Muscle:
- Source: Skeletal muscle
- Type: Muscle tissue
- Function: Movement and contraction
-
Smooth Muscle
- Source: Small intestine and Stomach
- Type: Muscle tissue
- Function: Helps with digestion and nutrient collection
Adipose Tissue
- Source: Skin
- Type: Connective Tissue
- Function: Protection of organs and bumps
- Structure: Composed of adipocytes (fat cells)
Bone Structure
- Lamellae: Concentric rings of bone tissue that surround Haversian canals
- Haversian System: A system of canals and lamellae that provides nutrients and removes waste from bone cells
- Central Canal: A canal that runs through the center of the Haversian system and contains blood vessels and nerves
- Lacunae: Small cavities that contain osteocytes (bone cells)
- Osteocytes: Mature bone cells that help maintain bone tissue
