Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue Characteristics
- Basal surface anchors epithelial cells to the basement membrane, acting like mortar for bricks.
- Basement membrane provides structural support, helping cells attach to underlying tissues.
- Specialized cell connections link adjacent epithelial cells, maintaining tissue integrity.
- Epithelial tissue is avascular, depending on diffusion from underlying connective tissues for nutrient intake.
Functions of Epithelia
- Protects underlying structures from mechanical injury and pathogens.
- Acts as a barrier to control the passage of substances.
- Has absorptive and secretory functions, participating in metabolic activities.
Types of Epithelia by Cell Layer
- Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of cells.
- Stratified epithelium has multiple layers, enhancing protection.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium appears layered but consists of a single layer of varying cell heights.
Types of Epithelial Cells by Shape
- Squamous cells are flat and scale-like.
- Cuboidal cells are similar in width and height.
- Columnar cells are taller than wide.
Muscle Anatomy
- Muscle belly is the primary body responsible for force generation.
- Tendons attach muscles to bone, enabling movement.
- Fascia provides support and separates individual muscles.
Cardiac Muscle Functions
- Contraction (systole) expels blood from the heart.
- Relaxation (diastole) allows heart chambers to fill with blood.
- Atria contract before ventricles, promoting efficient blood flow.
Bone Structure and Function
- Compact bone provides strength and support.
- Spongy bone contains a network of trabeculae for flexibility.
- Bone marrow is crucial for blood cell formation and fat storage.
Nutritional and Mineral Regulation
- Bones regulate minerals like calcium and phosphate in the bloodstream.
- Store growth factors that facilitate cellular growth and repair.
Cranial Nerves Overview
- Twelve pairs of cranial nerves, critical for sensory and motor functions.
- Olfactory and optic nerves are sensory; oculomotor and abducens nerves are motor.
Pathology
- Hydrocephalus results from blocked cerebrospinal fluid flow, leading to increased intracranial pressure.
- Bell's palsy affects the facial nerve, leading to weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, often linked to trauma or viral infections.
