Study Notes
Cell Junctions
- Desmosomes: Anchor cells together, preventing separation under mechanical stress.
- Gap Junctions: Allow communication between cells via hollow cylinders (Connexons) that transmit ions and signals.
- Adherence Junctions: Promote cell-to-cell contact, helping maintain tissue integrity.
Tissue Types
-
Epithelial Tissues:
- Functions as covering and lining tissues throughout the body, including cavities and surfaces.
- Lines blood vessel cavities and ducts, forming glands.
- Avascular, relying on connective tissues for nutrients and oxygen.
-
Connective Tissues:
- Binds, supports, and protects organs.
- Stores energy (fat) and provides immune response.
-
Muscular Tissues:
- Generates physical force and body heat.
- Capable of contraction, enabling movement.
-
Nervous Tissues:
- Receives and conducts electrochemical impulses throughout the body.
- Composed of neurons and neuroglia, which support and protect neurons.
Epithelial Tissue Structures
- Apical Surface: Exposed to free space or external environment; may have microvilli or cilia for absorption and movement.
- Basal Surface: Resting on the basement membrane, anchoring the epithelium.
Epithelial Tissue Types
-
Simple Squamous Epithelium:
- Composed of a single layer of flattened cells.
- Functions in absorption, filtration, and secretion of lubricating substances.
- Found in kidneys, lungs, heart, and blood vessels.
-
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium:
- Features cube-shaped cells with spherical nuclei.
- Involved in absorption (e.g., thyroid gland) and secretion.
- Found in kidney tubules, ducts, and surface of ovaries.
-
Simple Columnar Epithelium:
- Contains elongated cells with round to oval nuclei; may have cilia and goblet cells.
- Functions in absorption and secretion of mucous and enzymes.
- Lines body cavities and may propel substances (e.g., mucus, reproductive cells).
Nervous Tissue
- Composed of neurons, which conduct impulses, and neuroglia for support.
- Neurons include dendrites (signal reception), cell body (soma), axon (signal transmission), myelin sheath (insulation), and terminal buttons (neurotransmitter storage).
Tissue Repair
- Wound Healing: Aims to limit damage, prevent infection, and restore function.
- Regeneration: Tissue replaces damaged cells with the same type, returning to a normal state.
- Fibrosis: Damaged tissue repaired with dense connective tissue or scar tissue, potentially affecting function.
Factors Affecting Regeneration
- Type of tissue damage and severity influence healing ability.
- Tissues such as epithelial, fibrous, bone, and blood can regenerate; cardiac and nervous tissues typically cannot.
Stages of Tissue Repair
- Inflammation Stage: Body's initial response to injury.
- Granulation Stage: New blood vessels form; granulation tissue aids in healing through collagen matrix synthesis.
