Study Notes
Animal Tissues
- Epithelium has various functions, including protection, connection of tissues, secretion, and absorption.
- Ciliated epithelium is not found in alveoli of lungs.
- Squamous epithelium is present in bronchioles, cuboidal epithelium is present in kidneys, and columnar epithelium is present in the stomach.
Types of Epithelium
- Unicellular glandular epithelium is found in goblet cells.
- Exocrine gland is found in salivary gland.
- Compound epithelium is found in the moist surface of the buccal cavity.
Tissue Classification
- In animals, tissues are broadly classified into four types.
- A group of similar cells along with intercellular substances perform a specific function is called tissue.
- Compound epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue.
Columnar Epithelium
- Columnar epithelium is mainly present in the inner surface of hollow organs, such as bronchioles.
- The function of ciliated epithelium is to move particles or mucus in a specific direction.
Skin and Pharynx
- The dry surface of the skin is covered by compound epithelium.
- The moist surface of the pharynx is covered by simple epithelium.
Connective Tissue
- Areolar loose connective tissue contains fibroblasts, macrophages, and mast cells.
- Cartilage and bone are specialized connective tissues.
- Adipose and areolar tissues are loose connective tissues.
Junctions
- Adhering junctions perform cementing to keep neighboring cells together.
Connective Tissue Functions
- Connective tissues connect bone to bone.
- Connective tissues store fat.
- Connective tissues are found in the tip of the nose.
Muscle Fibers
- Muscle fibers move the body to adjust to environmental changes and maintain body position.
- Muscle fibers contract in response to stimulation, then relax and return to their uncontracted state in a coordinated fashion.
Muscle Types
- Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated.
- Smooth muscle is involuntary and unstriated.
- Cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated.
Intercalated Discs
- Intercalated discs are present in cardiac muscles.
