Study Notes

Tissue Types

Endothelial tissue lines the inner walls of blood and lymph vessels, composed of simple squamous cells, not continuous with the epidermis.
Mesothelial tissue is a serous membrane lining peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities, made of loose connective tissue covered by simple squamous cells.

Epithelial vs. Connective Tissue

Epithelial tissue covers surfaces; endothelial lines blood vessels; mesothelial lines cavities.
Connective tissue connects and supports structures with fewer cells and more intercellular substance known as the matrix.

Connective Tissue Composition

Loose connective tissue:
- Areolar tissue: Irregular network under skin, binds body parts.
- Adipose tissue: High fat concentration, provides insulation and cushioning.
Dense connective tissue:
- Contains tightly packed fibers (collagenous, elastic, reticular).
- Tendons connect muscles to bones.
- Aponeuroses are broad sheets of tendon, aiding in muscle function.
- Ligaments connect bone to bone, bone to cartilage, cartilage to cartilage.
Fascia: Irregular fibers organizing muscle functions, promoting mechanical movement.
Reticular tissue: A framework of cells supporting the structure of organs.

Special Connective Tissues

Cartilage: Composed of chondrocytes in a matrix:
- Hyaline cartilage: Bluish-white, found at joint surfaces and in the respiratory tract; covered by perichondrium in non-articular areas.
- Elastic cartilage: Yellow, rubbery; found in the ear and epiglottis.
- Fibrocartilage: Dense network found in intervertebral discs.
Bone: Rigid matrix with osteoblasts and osteocytes.
- Composed of collagen fibers and high amounts of inorganic salts (calcium phosphate, carbonate).
- Types of bone:
  - Dense/compact: Forms outer surface (cortex), white without noticeable structure.
  - Spongy/cancellous: Porous, supports mechanical demands, contains trabeculae.

Bone Structure and Function

Bones comprise lamellar structure with Haversian canals for blood vessels and nerves; canaliculi connect lacunae between layers.
Bone marrow fills spongy bone spaces, producing blood cells (red marrow) or storing fat (yellow marrow).

Bone Formation and Classification

Periosteum covers bones, with deeper layers containing osteoblasts for growth and repair.
Bones are classified into:
- Long bones (e.g., limbs)
- Short bones (e.g., wrist and ankle)
- Flat bones (e.g., skull)
- Irregular bones (e.g., hip, vertebrae)
- Accessory bones (e.g., patella)
- Air-containing bones (e.g., nasal sinuses)

Skeleton Organization

The skeletal system comprises two groups:
- Axial skeleton: Includes spinal column, skull, hyoid bone, and rib cage.
- Appendicular skeleton: Comprised of pectoral and pelvic girdles, including upper and lower limb bones.
