Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue
- Hallmark features of epithelial tissues do not include being well vascularized.
- Composed of one or multiple layers of cells, can be simple or stratified.
- Types include simple squamous epithelium, stratified squamous epithelium, and transitional epithelium.
- Has an apical surface and basement membrane.
- Commonly found in glands and their ducts.
Connective Tissue
- Functions to protect, support, and bind body tissues.
- Divided into loose and dense connective tissue, with dense connective also known as fibrous tissue.
- Contains fibers such as collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers.
- Usually well vascularized with an extensive extracellular matrix.
- Includes specific types like bone (osseous tissue), cartilage, and adipose tissue.
- Avascular varieties include cartilages.
Muscle Tissue
- Specialized to contract and produce movement.
- Types include skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.
- Cardiac and smooth muscle tissues share involuntary contractions.
- Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and blood vessels.
Nervous Tissue
- Conducts electrochemical impulses through neurons.
- Characterized by irritability and conductivity.
Tissue Repair and Regeneration
- Repair process includes inflammation as the first stage.
- Tissues that regenerate are typically epithelial tissues.
- Damaged tissues repaired by the same cells undergo regeneration.
- Scar tissue is primarily constructed of collagen fibers.
Glandular Tissue
- Endocrine glands secrete products directly into the bloodstream without ducts.
- Exocrine glands possess ducts to transport secretions onto epithelial surfaces.
Classification and Identification
- Categories of tissues are based on structure and function.
- Muscle tissue can be categorized as voluntary (skeletal) or involuntary (smooth, cardiac).
- Nervous tissue is located in the brain and spinal cord, facilitating communication within the body.
