Study Notes
Overview of Human Tissues
- Human body is composed of diverse tissue types, each with specific functions.
- Tissues are categorized into four main types: Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, and Neuronal.
Epithelial Tissue
- Covers body surfaces and lines internal cavities.
- Forms glands and functions in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation.
- Composed of tightly packed cells with minimal extracellular matrix.
Connective Tissue
- Supports, binds, and connects different tissues and organs.
- Provides structural integrity, protection, and transport of nutrients and waste.
- Composed of varied cell types and abundant extracellular matrix.
- Divided into Embryonic and Mature Connective Tissue.
Types of Connective Tissue
-
Embryonic Connective Tissue includes:
- Mesenchyme: Undifferentiated cells serving as precursors to other connective tissues.
- Mucoid: Soft tissue rich in hyaluronic acid, primarily found in umbilical cord.
-
Mature Connective Tissue consists of:
- Loose: Areolar (supports organs), Adipose (energy reserve), Reticular (framework for organs).
- Dense: Regular (tendons/ligaments), Irregular (dermis of skin), Elastic (walls of blood vessels).
Muscular Tissue
- Composed of specialized cells responsible for movement.
- Divided into three types:
- Skeletal Muscle: Striated, voluntary control, multi-nucleated; moves limbs.
- Cardiac Muscle: Striated, involuntary, mono-nucleated; found in heart.
- Smooth Muscle: Non-striated, involuntary, mono-nucleated; found in walls of organs.
Neuronal Tissue
- Composed of specialized cells for processing and transmitting electrical signals.
- Essential for communication between different parts of the body.
- Includes both central and peripheral nervous systems.
Functions of Tissue in Organ Systems
- Tissues work together to form organs, each with specific functions critical to maintaining bodily functions.
- The integration of different tissue types ensures efficient performance of organ systems.
