Study Notes
Tissue Types and Characteristics
- Muscular Tissue: Highly vascular; enables body and internal movements; consists of excitable cylindrical, branching, or spindle-shaped cells.
- Nervous Tissue: Comprised of excitable cells; facilitates rapid communication across cell extensions.
- Epithelial Tissue: Avascular; features a basement membrane and apical surface; involved in secretion and absorption; composed of squamous, cuboidal, or columnar cells.
- Connective Tissue: Most diverse tissue type; characterized by a high extracellular matrix; provides support, protection, and binding between structures.
Epithelial Tissue Functions
- Protection: Skin acts as a barrier against environmental damage.
- Acting as Barriers: Prevents water loss; blocks toxins and microorganisms.
- Permitting Passage: Simple squamous epithelium allows gas exchange (e.g., oxygen and carbon dioxide).
- Secreting Substances: Glands secrete enzymes and other substances to specific sites.
- Absorbing Substances: Epithelial cells in intestines absorb nutrients and ions.
Connective Tissue Functions and Types
- Storage: Bone and adipose tissues store minerals and lipids, respectively.
- Transport: Blood carries nutrients, gases, and waste.
- Physical Protection: Bone and adipose tissues provide cushioning and support.
- Immune Protection: Areolar and blood tissues aid in the immune response.
Muscle Tissue Types
- Skeletal Muscle: Voluntary control; appears striated; facilitates movement of bones.
- Cardiac Muscle: Involuntarily controlled; striated; found in the heart.
- Smooth Muscle: Involuntary; non-striated; located in walls of hollow organs.
Exocrine Gland Structure
- Composed of a secretory portion and a duct; responsible for producing substances such as sweat or saliva.
Healing and Keratinization Processes
- Wound healing involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling stages.
- Keratinization occurs in several epidermal layers, with cells transitioning from mitotic to keratin-filled (dead) cells.
Layers of Skin
- Epidermis: Avascular, outermost layer composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium; undergoes keratinization from basal to corneum layers.
- Dermis: Vascularized; contains connective tissues, hair follicles, and glands; divided into papillary and reticular layers.
- Hypodermis: Also known as subcutaneous layer; consists of loose areolar and adipose tissue; stores fat and provides insulation.
Gland Functions
- Sebaceous Glands: Secrete sebum; lubricates skin and hair.
- Sweat Glands: Eccrine and apocrine types; regulate body temperature and excrete waste.
Burns Classification
- First-Degree Burns: Affect only the epidermis; cause redness and pain.
- Second-Degree Burns: Involve the epidermis and part of the dermis; present with blisters.
- Third-Degree Burns: Extend into deeper tissues; may appear white, charred, or leathery.
Carbohydrates and Testing
- Starch is classified as a carbohydrate, consisting of long chains of glucose units (polymers).
- Building Blocks: Monosaccharides; can test for presence using Benedict's solution (positive reaction is blue to orange).
- Biuret Test: Blue to purple indicates proteins; positive for protein presence.
Miscellaneous
- Nail Structure: Includes components such as the cuticle, lunula, nail fold, nail matrix, and nail bed.
- Photomicrographs: Used to identify tissue structures in histology studies.
