Study Notes
Chapter 4: Tissues
Connective Tissue Types
- Bone: Supports and protects organs, stores calcium.
- Dense Connective Tissue: Forms tendons and ligaments, providing stability.
- Adipose Tissue: Insulates against heat loss, serves as a reserve source of fuel.
- Fibrocartilage: Provides tensile strength and absorbs compressive shock, found in intervertebral discs.
- Blood: Composed of cells suspended in a fluid matrix.
Epithelial Tissue Types
- Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: Typically associated with secretion and absorption, found in glands and ducts.
- Simple Squamous Epithelium: Thin layer allows for easy diffusion, lining air sacs in lungs.
- Stratified Squamous Epithelium: Provides protection; found in the skin, mouth, and esophagus.
- Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium: Contains goblet cells that secrete mucus; lines respiratory tract.
Membrane Types
- Serous Membrane: Lines closed body cavities, such as pleura and pericardium.
- Mucous Membrane: Lines body cavities open to exterior, found in the digestive and respiratory tracts.
- Cutaneous Membrane: Skin, consists of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
Other Connective Tissues
- Hyaline Cartilage: Forms fetal skeleton and covers articular surfaces of bones.
- Elastic Cartilage: Provides flexibility, found in the external ear and epiglottis.
- Mesenchyme: Embryonic connective tissue responsible for producing all connective tissues.
Muscle Tissue Types
- Cardiac Muscle: Striated and involuntary, found in heart.
- Skeletal Muscle: Striated and voluntary, attached to bones for movement.
Key Characteristics
- Epithelial tissues exhibit polarity with distinct free and basal surfaces.
- Transitional epithelium can change shape based on bladder fullness.
- Goblet cells are present in some epithelial types, aiding in mucus production.
True/False Highlights
- Fibrocartilage forms shock-absorbing discs between vertebrae (True).
- All tendons are composed of dense regular connective tissue rather than dense irregular (False).
- Macrophages are present in areolar and lymphatic tissues (True).
- Merocrine glands do not rupture; they secrete in a more controlled manner (False).
- Fibrocartilage has limited flexibility and elasticity compared to other cartilage types (False).
