Study Notes
Epithelial Tissues
- Ciliated epithelium: Found in the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract
- Stratified squamous epithelium: Outer layer of the skin, lining of the oral cavity
- Simple columnar epithelium: Likely to have microvilli, which increase surface area
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium: Single layer but appears as double, found in testes tubules
- Transitional epithelium: Cells are rounded and can slide across one another to allow stretching
Connective Tissues
-
Cartilage:
- Elastic cartilage: Found in intervertebral disks of the vertebral column
- Blood: Connective tissue surrounded by fluid matrix, functions as a transport vehicle for materials
- Adipose tissue: Stores nutrients
- Areolar connective tissue: Example of loose connective tissue
- Dense regular connective tissue: Found in tendons and ligaments
- Reticular connective tissue: Provides internal supporting framework in some organs; delicate network of fibers and cells directs movement
- Elastic connective tissue: Made of type II collagen; often found in bronchi, trachea, blood vessels, and hollow organs
Muscle Tissues
- Skeletal muscle tissue: Long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells with obvious striations; voluntary
- Smooth muscle tissue: Found in the walls of organs
- Cardiac muscle tissue: Striated muscle containing intercalated discs connecting cells
Nervous Tissues
-
Neuron: Electrically excitable cells that process and transmit information
- Axon: Carries messages away from the cyton, relaying information to other neurons
- Sensory neuron: Carries information from the interior of the body and the environment to the brain
- Motor neuron: Carries impulses away from the brain to effector organs
Other Tissues
- Osseous tissue: Bone tissue
- Meristematic or Embryonic Tissue: Found in plants, immature, and helps plants to divide continuously
General Tissue Characteristics
- Avascular: Epithelial cells lack blood vessels
- Connective Tissue Functions: Support, protection, storage of nutrients
- Tissues that hardly regenerate: Cardiac and nervous tissues
