Study Notes
Principles of Tissue
- Epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue are the primary tissue types.
- Embryonic development includes the layers: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm.
- Histogenesis is the process of primary germ layers differentiating into different tissues.
- Extracellular matrix is the non-living material between cells in a tissue. Key components include water, proteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and polysaccharides.
- The extracellular matrix helps tissues bind together structurally and allows cellular communication through connections with integrins and the plasma membrane.
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue is divided into membranous (covering or lining) and glandular epithelium.
- Membranous epithelium lines or covers body surfaces and cavities like serous cavities and the respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary tracts.
- Glandular epithelium consists of secretory units of endocrine or exocrine glands, producing materials.
Classification of Membranous Epithelial Tissue
- Squamous (flat), cuboidal, columnar, and pseudostratified columnar are types.
- Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, pseudostratified columnar, stratified squamous (with or without keratin), stratified cuboidal, and stratified columnar.
- Transitional epithelium lines hollow organs subjected to stress
Glandular Epithelium
- Specialized in secretory activities.
- Exocrine glands discharge secretions into ducts.
- Endocrine glands, also called ductless glands, discharge secretions directly into the blood or interstitial fluid
Functional Classification of Exocrine Glands
- Apocrine glands: secretion products collect near the apex of the cell and are secreted via pinching off of the cell's end (e.g., mammary glands)
- Holocrine glands: cells need to break apart to complete function (e.g., sebaceous glands)
- Merocrine glands have ducts (most numerous)
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue functions in support, protection, transportation, and general functions.
- Connective tissue types include fibrous (loose, areolar, adipose, reticular), dense (irregular, regular), bones, cartilage (hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic), and blood(fibrous connective tissue).
Bone Tissue
- Bone tissue is a uniquely hard and strong connective tissue, providing support, protection, attachment sites for muscles, and mineral storage.
Cartilage Tissue
- Cartilage tissue is composed of chondrocytes, is avascular, and nutrients diffuse through the matrix.
- Hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic are main types.
Blood Tissue
- A liquid tissue that transports substances, regulates body temperature, and regulates body pH. It contains neither ground substance nor fibers.
Muscle Tissue
- Muscle tissue types: skeletal (voluntary), smooth (involuntary), and cardiac (involuntary).
Nervous Tissue
- Nervous tissue functions in rapid regulation and integration of body activities and comprises neurons, conducting units of the system.
Tissue Repair
- Tissue repair depends on the tissue type (epithelial and connective regenerate better). Muscle and nervous tissue regenerate less effectively.
Body Membranes
- Thin tissue layers that cover surfaces, line cavities, divide spaces, and/or surround organs.
- Types include cutaneous (skin), serous, and mucous.
- Synovial membranes line joint cavities and produce synovial fluid to reduce friction.
