Study Notes
Types of Tissues and Their Functions
- Epithelial Tissue: Covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs, body cavities, and ducts, and forms glands.
- Connective Tissue: Protects and supports the body and its organs, binds organs together, stores energy as fat, and provides immunity.
- Muscle Tissue: Responsible for movement, generation of force, and heat production.
- Nervous Tissue: Initiates and transmits action potentials (nerve impulses) to coordinate body activities.
Embryological Origins
- Ectoderm: Associated with sensory epithelia of the eye, ear, and nose.
- Endoderm: Forms the lining of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
- Ectoderm (specifically): Responsible for the lining of the anterior tongue, hard palate, and sides of the mouth.
- Mesoderm: Involved in the formation of the female and male urethra.
Functions and Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue
- Functions: Includes secretion, absorption, excretion, sensation, and protection.
- Characteristics: Avascular, has a high rate of regeneration, cellularity, polarity (apical and basal surfaces), and specialized cell junctions.
- Specialized Structures: Includes microvilli and cilia found on the apical surface.
Basement Membrane
- Functions for attachment, support of epithelial tissue, and filtration.
Connective Tissue Types and Features
- Loose Connective Tissue: Responsible for organ padding and energy storage.
- Dense Regular Connective Tissue: Composed of parallel collagen fibers; provides strength and support.
- Dense Irregular Connective Tissue: Resists tension from multiple directions; found in the dermis and other structures.
- Elastic Connective Tissue: Allows for organ stretching; present in lungs, true vocal cords, and large arteries.
- Reticular Connective Tissue: Forms the stroma of organs like the liver and spleen and filters pathogens and dead cells.
- Adipose Tissue: Highly vascularized, consists of adipocytes, important for storing triglycerides and thermogenesis in newborns.
Specific Applications
- Connective Tissue in Surgery: Used in gingival recession surgery to implant tissue from the palate.
- Support Roles: Connective tissues provide structural support and protection in the oral cavity and other areas.
