Study Notes
Unit 4: Multicellular Organization
- This unit covers major tissue types and their subcategories.
- It details the locations of various tissue types in the body.
- The process of tissue repair is also discussed.
Lesson 4.1: Tissues
- Covers Epithelial Tissue, Connective Tissue, Muscular Tissue, and Nervous Tissue.
Lesson 4.2: Organs and Systems
- Details on organs and systems.
Lesson 4.3: Body Plan and Multicellular Animals
- Details about body plans and multicellular animals.
Grades of Organization in Animals
- There are five grades of animal organization:
- Protoplasm
- Cell
- Tissue
- Organ
- Organ System
Tissue Definition
- A tissue is a group of similar cells, with shared embryonic origins, that work together for specialized functions.
- A pathologist studies cells and tissues to aid in diagnoses.
Histology
- Histology is the study of tissues.
Biopsy
- A biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue or cells is removed for examination under a microscope.
Types of Tissues
- Body tissues are categorized into four types:
- Epithelial tissue: lines body cavities, covers surfaces and forms glands
- Connective tissue: protects, supports, binds and stores energy
- Muscular tissue: generates force for movement
- Nervous tissue: detects changes and transmits signals for coordinated body functions
Epithelial Cells
- Epithelial cells have apical (free) surfaces exposed to exterior or body cavities.
- Lateral surfaces face adjacent cells.
- Basal surfaces are attached to the basement membrane.
- The basement membrane is an extracellular structure, mainly proteins, separating epithelium from underlying connective tissues.
Avascular Concept
- Epithelial cells rely on diffusion of oxygen and nutrients from blood vessels in the connective tissue beneath, limiting their thickness.
Epithelium Renewal
- Epithelial tissue can regenerate or repair itself through cell division.
Classification of Epithelium:
- Classified by number of layers (simple or stratified) and cell shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar).
- Simple: single layer
- Stratified: multiple layers
Epithelial Tissue Types
- Simple Squamous Epithelium: single layer of flat cells, found in air sacs of lungs and capillary walls. Primary function: transport
- Simple Cuboidal : single layer of cube-shaped cells, found in glands and ducts, function in secretion and absorption
- Simple Columnar : single layer of elongated cells. Found in lining of the digestive tract. Involved in secretion and absorption.
- Stratified Squamous : multiple layers of flat cells, commonly found in areas subject to friction such as skin and mouth; protect against abrasion
- Stratified Cuboidal: two or more layers of cube-shaped cells. Found in larger glands.
- Stratified Columnar : multiple layers of column-shaped cells. Rare in the body, found in ducts of large glands.
- Transitional Epithelium: shape changes depending on stretch. Found in urinary bladder to allow for expansion.
- Glandular Epithelium: specialized for secretion. Composed of single cells or groups of cells.
Connective Tissue
- Connects body parts.
- Most abundant and widely distributed tissue type.
- Types include bone, cartilage, dense connective tissues, loose connective tissues, adipose tissue, reticular connective tissue, and blood/vascular tissue.
Bone (Osseous Tissue)
- Composed of bone cells (osteocytes) sitting in cavities (lacunae).
- Compact or spongy.
Cartilage
- Less hard and more flexible than bone.
- Hyaline (most widespread), elastic, and fibrocartilage
- Has abundant collagen fibers.
Dense Connective Tissue
- Dense fibrous tissue with collagen fibers.
- Forms strong rope-like structure, tendons, and ligaments.
Loose Connective Tissue
- Softer and contains more cells than other connective tissue types.
- Includes areolar, adipose, and reticular tissues.
Areolar Tissue
- Soft, pliable, “cobwebby” tissue.
- Cushions and protects organs.
- Universal packing tissue.
- Lamina Propria
Adipose Tissue
- Commonly called "fat".
- Fat cells predominate.
- Forms subcutaneous tissue beneath skin
- Insulates body.
Reticular Tissue
- Delicate network of reticular fibers and cells
- Forms stroma(support tissue framework) in lymphoid organs like lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow.
Blood (Vascular Tissue)
- Consists of blood cells.
- Surrounded by non-living, fluid matrix (blood plasma).
- Transport vehicle for the cardiovascular system.
Muscular Tissue
- Highly specialized to contract or shorten, producing movement.
- Types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.
Nervous Tissue
- Consists of neurons (nerve cells) and neuroglia.
- Neurons are sensitive to stimuli. They convert stimuli into nerve impulses and transmit them to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
- Neuroglia support neurons.
Tissue Repair
- Process that replaces damaged, worn-out, or dead cells.
- Regenertaion happens when tissue is replaced by the same kind of cells.
- Fibrosis happens when tissue is replaced by dense connective tissue, resulting in scar tissue.
Inflammation
- A generalized body response to injury that attempts to prevent further damage.
- The body mounts a specific immune response to contain invaders (bacteria, viruses, toxins).
