Study Notes
Course Objectives
- By the end of this course, students should be able to describe the normal microstructure and function of cell types, tissues, and organs of the major organ systems.
- Students should be able to assess the functional and clinical correlations of major disorders related to the organ systems.
General Organ Concepts and Terminology
- Tissues are groups of cells organized for specific functions.
- There are four main types of tissues: • Epithelial • Connective • Muscle • Nerve
Tissues and Organs
- Organs are groups of two or more tissues into an organized structure to serve a particular function(s).
- Groups of organs form organ systems to serve a specific function(s).
Terminology
- Lumen refers to the cavity or channel within a hollow organ.
- A membrane is a layer of epithelium and its underlying connective tissue that covers a surface of the body.
- Membranes line almost all surfaces of the body.
- Cortex refers to the outer region or portion of some organs, such as the kidney, lymph nodes, and adrenal glands.
- Medulla refers to the central portion of some organs, surrounded by a cortex.
- Stroma is the supporting framework of an organ, usually composed of connective tissue.
- Parenchyma refers to the cells and tissues of an organ that perform the function of the organ, composed of epithelial, muscle, nerve, and sometimes connective tissues.
