Study Notes
Muscle and Connective Tissues
- Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform common or related functions.
- Basic body tissues include: muscle (movement), connective (support), epithelial (covering), and nervous (control).
- Muscle tissue is classified structurally as: cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle.
- Skeletal muscle fibers are arranged in various patterns: parallel (strap-like), fusiform (spindle-shaped), sheet-like, pennate (feather-like, unipennate, bipennate, multipennate), convergent (broad origin, narrow insertion), and circular (sphincter).
Connective Tissues
- Four main classes of connective tissue: connective tissue proper (including fat and fibrous tissue of ligaments and tendons), cartilage, bone tissue, and blood.
- Connective tissue functions include: binding and support, protection, insulation, and transportation.
Types of Connective Tissue Proper
-
Dense regular connective tissue is primarily parallel collagen fibers with some elastin fibers, major cell type is the fibroblast.
-
This tissue is found in tendons, most ligaments, and aponeuroses and withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction
-
Dense irregular connective tissue is primarily irregularly arranged collagen fibers and some elastic fibers.
-
This is found in the dermis of the skin, submucosa of digestive tract, fibrous capsules of organs and joints to withstand tension in many directions
Cartilage
-
Cartilage possesses qualities between dense connective tissue and bone.
-
It is tough but flexible, resists tension and compression.
-
It lacks nerve fibers and is avascular (lacks blood supply).
-
Hyaline cartilage is found in the embryonic skeleton, covering the ends of long bones in joint cavities, costal cartilage of ribs, and respiratory tract like the nose, larynx and trachea. It has high numbers of collagen fibers and provides firm support with some flexibility.
-
Fibrocartilage is found in the intervertebral discs and menisci of the knee joints. Its composition is between hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue and absorbs shock.
-
Elastic cartilage is found in the epiglottis and external ear. It has more elastic fibers and provides strength and exceptional stretch ability.
Bone (Osseous Tissue)
-
Bone tissue or osseous tissue is a hard calcified matrix containing many collagen fibers.
-
Osteocytes lie in lacunae and is highly vascularized.
-
Functions of bones include support, protection, levers for muscles, storage of calcium and other minerals.
-
Bone marrow inside bones is for blood cell formation.
-
Types of bone include: long bones (e.g., tibia), short bones (e.g., carpus), flat bones (e.g., ribs), and irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae).
-
Compact (cortical) bone is dense in texture like ivory, and spongy (cancellous) bone consists of a meshwork of trabeculae (intercommunicating spaces) found at the ends of long bones and in flat bones, always covered with compact bone.
-
Composition of bone: 25% water, 25% protein fibers (collagen), and 50% mineral salts (calcium phosphate).
-
Key features of bone include the periosteum, diaphysis, epiphysis, and the marrow cavity.
Anatomy of Skeleton
- Major regions of the skeleton include the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, bony thorax) and the appendicular skeleton (shoulder girdle, upper limb, pelvic girdle, lower limb).
