    Study Notes

    Epithelial Tissue Classification

    • Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of cells.
    • Stratified epithelium has multiple layers of cells.
    • Glandular epithelia include:
      • Endocrine glands: secrete hormones into interstitial fluid without ducts.
      • Exocrine glands: produce secretions onto epithelial surfaces through ducts.

    Connective Tissue Characteristics

    • Contains specialized cells, solid extracellular protein fibers, and fluid extracellular ground substance.
    • The matrix, composed of fibers and ground substance, determines the tissue's specialized function and makes up most of its volume.

    Functions of Connective Tissue

    • Establishes structural framework for the body.
    • Transports fluids and dissolved materials.
    • Protects delicate organs.
    • Supports and interconnects other tissue types.
    • Stores energy reserves (mainly triglycerides).
    • Defends against invading microorganisms.

    Classification of Connective Tissues

    • Connective tissue proper: connects and protects.
    • Fluid connective tissues: involved in transport.
    • Supporting connective tissues: provide structural strength.

    Categories of Connective Tissue Proper

    • Loose connective tissue: more ground substance with fewer fibers (e.g., areolar tissue, adipose tissue).
    • Dense connective tissue: more fibers with less ground substance (e.g., tendons).

    Fluid Connective Tissues

    • Blood and lymph are examples, possessing a watery matrix rich in dissolved proteins.
    • Formed elements of blood consist of:
      • Red blood cells (erythrocytes): transport oxygen and carbon dioxide, constituting about half the blood volume.
      • White blood cells (leukocytes): defend against infections.
      • Platelets: membrane-enclosed cell fragments essential for blood clotting.

    Lymphatic System

    • Lymph is extracellular fluid collected from interstitial spaces, monitored by the immune system, and transported by the lymphatic system.

    Neural Tissue

    • Neuroglia are supporting cells that maintain physical structure, assist in repair, and provide nutrients to neurons.
    • Neurons consist of the cell body (with nucleus and nucleolus), dendrites (which receive signals), and axon (which transmits electrical signals).

    Organs and Systems

    • An organ is composed of two or more tissue types serving different functions; skin, the largest organ, contains all four primary tissue types.
    • Organ systems group related organs to perform specific functions.

    Homeostasis

    • Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through cooperation of body systems.
    • Internal and external changes trigger responses to keep parameters (like body temperature) within normal ranges.

    Mechanisms of Regulation

    • Autoregulation (intrinsic): automatic responses in cells or tissues to environmental changes.
    • Extrinsic regulation: responses managed by nervous and endocrine systems.

    Feedback Mechanisms

    • Negative feedback: effector responses negate the stimulus, restoring homeostasis. Example: temperature regulation by hypothalamus.
    • Positive feedback: effector responses amplify the stimulus, moving the body away from homeostasis to speed processes. Example: blood clotting process intensifies until a clot is formed.

    Systems Integration

    • Multiple physiological systems collaborate to uphold homeostasis, maintaining dynamic equilibrium.
    • Disruption of balance can result in disease or death.
