Study Notes
Histology
- Histology is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues.
Branches of Histology
- Pathological histology is the branch of histology that includes the microscopic identification and study of diseased tissue in medicine.
Modern Usage
- Modern usage places under the field of histology the study of the structure, function, and pathology of cells, tissues, and organs.
Paleohistology
- Paleohistology refers to the study of fossilized tissues in the field of paleontology.
Animal Tissues
- There are four basic types of animal tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Immunity
- Innate immunity is a nonspecific type of immunity that involves a wide variety of effector mechanisms.
- Innate immunity is evolutionarily older than adaptive immunity.
Cells and Immunity
- Leukocytes mediate innate immunity.
Autoimmune Diseases
- Autoimmune immunity focuses on autoimmune diseases where immune cells attack the body's own organs.
Lymphatic Circulation
- The term for the interconnected system of blood and lymphatic circulation that connects the leukocytes within the body and lymphoid organs is the lymphatic system.
