Study Notes

Human Tissue Varieties

Epithelial tissue: Covers surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands.
Connective tissue: Supports and binds other tissues.
Muscle tissue: Contracts to produce movement.
Nervous tissue: Transmits electrical impulses.

Organ Components

Parenchyma: The functional part of an organ, composed of specialized cells performing the organ's primary function.
Stroma: The supportive framework of an organ, composed of connective tissue and blood vessels.

Epithelial Tissue Characteristics

Epithelial tissue lines cavities, covers surfaces, and forms glands.
Avascular: Lacks its own blood supply.
Tightly packed cells: Cells are closely joined together with minimal intercellular space.

Stroma Composition

Connective tissue: Provides structural support and holds cells together.
Blood vessels: Supply nutrients and oxygen to the parenchyma and remove waste products.

Parenchyma Composition

Specialized cells: Specifically adapted to perform the organ's primary function.
