Summary

This document covers categories of connective tissues, including loose, dense, fluid, and supportive connective tissues. It also discusses Marfan syndrome, muscle tissue types, neural tissue, and body membranes. The document also details tissue injuries and repair, and the effects of aging on tissues.

Cardiac Muscle Cells (Cardiomyocytes) Striated – involuntary – mononucleated Branching – connected at intercalated discs Do not divide Regulated by pacemaker cells Smooth Muscle Cells Nonstriated – involuntary – mononucleated Small and tapered (spindle-shaped) Can divide and regenerate Neural Tissue Neural (Nervous) Tissue Specialized for conducting electrical impulses Rapidly senses internal or external environment Processes information and controls responses 98% in the brain & spinal cord Types of Neural Cells Types of Neural Cells Neurons: functional nerve cells perform electrical communication do not divide (no centrioles) Neuroglia: support cells repair and supply nutrients to neurons Body Membranes Membranes Physical barriers Line or cover portions of the body Consist of: epithelium areolar connective tissues (lamina propria) 4 Types of Membranes 1. Mucous 2. Serous 3. Cutaneous 4. Synovial Mucous Membrane (Mucosa) Lines passageways with external connections Digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts Mucous secretion Structure: epithelial surfaces: Epithelium  moist to reduce friction and  facilitate absorption and excretion connective tissue (lamina propria): Lamina propria (areolar tissue)  areolar tissue Serous Membranes Line cavities not open to the outside Thin but strong 2 layers: parietal layer:lines the cavity visceral layer: covers organs fluid in between to reduce friction Structure: Transudate Mesothelium Areolar tissue Cavities & Serous Membranes Pleura: covers lungs Pericardium: covers heart Peritoneum: covers abdominal organs Cutaneous Membrane (Skin) Outer surface of the body Thick, waterproof and dry SEtp d riatht sq m iefileiu Structure: us ua ? m ep o m i th el iu Epithelium Areolar tissue Dense irregular connective tissue Synovial Membranes Line articulating (moving) joint cavities Produce synovial fluid (lubricant) Articular (hyaline) tissue Protect bone ends Synovial fluid Lack true epithelium Capsule Capillary Adipocytes Areolar tissue Synovial Epithelium membrane Bone Tissue Injuries & Repair Tissues respond to injuries to maintain homeostasis Cells restore homeostasis with 2 processes: inflammation regeneration (healing) Inflammation Tissue’s first response to injury Triggered by: trauma infection Manifestations of inflammatory response: pain tenderness swelling redness hotness Inflammatory Process (1) Damaged cells release chemicals (e.g., PGs – K+) in the interstitial fluid Cells break down: lysosomes release enzymes tissue destruction = necrosis necrotic tissue & cellular debris = pus abscess = pus trapped in an enclosed area Mast cells release chemicals mediators (e.g., histamine – heparin) Dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation) Inflammatory Process (2) Vasodilation: increases blood circulation in the area warmth and redness brings more nutrients and O 2 removes wastes Plasma diffuses into the area: swelling and pain Phagocytic white blood cells: clean up the area Regeneration (Healing) Starts when injury or infection is cleaned up Depends on cell type: epithelial & connective tissue:  regenerate well cardiac cells & neurons:  do not regenerate  wounds heal by connective tissue scar Process of Regeneration New cells: produced by stem cells migrate into area Fibroblasts move into necrotic area: lay down collagen fibers (scar tissue) Summary: Inflammation & Regeneration Effects of Aging on Tissues Thinning of epithelial and connective tissues Increased bruising and impaired healing Increased bone brittleness and fractures Joint pain and degeneration Muscle wasting and weakness Cardiovascular disease Mental deterioration … Summary: Four Types of Tissue Classification of Tissues Epitheliu Connectiv Muscle Neural m e Epitheli Glands Skeleta Smooth a l Cardia Endocri Exocrin Neuron Neurogli ne e Fluid CT c CT proper a Supportive Dense Blood Lymph CT Loose Bone Cartilage IrregularRegular Areolar Adipose Reticular Elastic Hyaline ElasticFibrocartilage
