    Study Notes

    Tissues

    • Group of cells working together to perform specific functions in the body.

    Histology

    • Study of the structure and composition of tissues and organs at the microscopic level.

    Four Main Tissue Types

    • Epithelial: Covers the skin surface and hollow organs.
    • Connective: Found in bones, blood, and cartilage.
    • Muscle: Found throughout the body, attached to bones via tendons.
    • Nervous: Found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

    Tissue Functions

    • Epithelial: Provides a covering of the skin and lining of various passages inside the body, controlling the movement of material across the surface.
    • Connective: Supports other tissues and binds them together.
    • Muscle: Allows the body to move.
    • Nervous: Made up of nerve cells used to carry messages to various parts of the body.

    Matrix

    • Noncellular, extracellular material that surrounds and supports cells within the tissue.

    Epithelial Tissue

    • Lightly packed cells forming sheets that line and cover the body's surface, cavities, and organs.
    • Functions: Support, secretion, protection, and sensory reception.
    • Shapes: Squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-like), and columnar (column-like).
    • Layers: Simple epithelium (single layer), stratified epithelium (multiple layers).

    Epithelial Tissue Types

    • Simple Squamous Epithelium: Lines blood vessels and the heart (endothelium).
    • Stratified Squamous Epithelium: Found on the surface of the skin, tongue, and esophagus.
    • Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: Lines duct and secretory glands of organs in the body.
    • Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium: Lining of some ducts, occurs in the excretory ducts of sweat glands and salivary glands.
    • Simple Columnar Epithelium: Lining of the stomach and intestine, specialized for absorption and has cilia and microvilli.
    • Stratified Columnar Epithelium: Small areas of the pharynx and mammary glands provide protection and facilitate the movement of milk through ducts.
    • Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium: Lining of the nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, and other parts of the respiratory tract.

    Transitional Epithelium

    • Stratified epithelium that can withstand repeated cycles of stretching and recoiling.
    • Changes appearance as stretching occurs (plump and cuboidal to flat).
    • Found in areas like the urinary bladder and ureter.

    Glands

    • Endocrine: Organs that produce hormones released into the bloodstream and travel to tissues.
    • Exocrine: Glands that secrete substances onto the body surface through ducts.

    Connective Tissue

    • Supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body.
    • Three main types: Fibrous, fluid, and supporting.

    Connective Tissue Cell Types

    • Fibroblast: Secretes collagen proteins that help maintain a structural framework of tissues.
    • Macrophages: Ingest and degrade dead cells, debris, tumor cells, and foreign materials.
    • Adipocytes: Provide energy storage, insulation from extreme temperatures, and cushioning around soft organs.
    • Mesenchymal: Supports and maintains other cells.
    • Melanocytes: Produce and distribute melanin.
    • Mast: Protects the body from foreign invaders and toxins.
    • Lymphocytes: Helps the body fight off infections.
    • Plasma: Produces antibodies and plays a critical role in the body's immune response.

    Adipose Tissue

    • Loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.
    • Stores energy, insulates the body, and cushions internal organs.

    Loose Connective Tissue Examples

    • Areolar, adipose, and reticular tissue.

    Reticular Tissue

    • Located in the spleen, liver, and lymph nodes.
    • Provides a supporting framework.

    Dense Connective Tissue

    • Mostly made up of tough protein fibers called collagen.
