Study Notes
Levels of Organization
- Organization progresses from cellular level to tissue level.
- Tissues are collections of similar cells and surrounding substances (extracellular matrix - ECM).
Tissue Classification
- Tissue types are classified based on cell structure and ECM composition.
- Four primary tissue types:
- Epithelial tissue
- Connective tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous tissue
- Epithelial and connective tissues exhibit considerable diversity in form and structure.
Histology
- Study of tissues at the microscopic level is known as histology.
Learning Objectives
- Define epithelium and classify its types.
- Describe the general structure of connective tissue.
- Distinguish between the three basic types of muscle tissue and identify their locations.
- Identify primary components of nerve tissue, its functions, and its relationship with nutrition.
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissues are classified based on shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and layers (simple, stratified).
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissues vary in structure and function; identified by shapes and layers.
Task Descriptions
- Task 1: Identify types of epithelial tissue based on shape and layers.
- Task 2: Identify types of connective tissue based on shape and layers.
- Task 3: Fill in a table detailing physical characteristics of various connective tissues:
- Dense fibrous (regular)
- Dense fibrous (irregular)
- Loose fibrous (areolar)
- Adipose
- Hyaline cartilage
- Fibrocartilage
- Elastic cartilage
- Compact bone
- Cancellous bone
Nutrition's Role
- Research how nutrition contributes to tissue formation and maintenance.
