Tissue

A group of cells with common embryonic original


Specialized activities

Extra cellular matrix

Complex, Nonliving material between cells in a tissue


Some tissues have a large amount while some have hardly any



Different kinds of components= different characteristics


Histology

Study of tissues

4 types of tissues are:

Epithelial


Connective


Muscular


Nervous

Epithelial tissue

Cover body surfaces and lines hollow organs, body cavities, ducts and forms glands

Connective tissue

Protects, supports and binds tissues


Stores energy as fat, provides immunity

Muscular tissue

Generates the physical force needed to make body structures move and generate body heat

Nervous tissue

Detects changes in body and responds and responds by generating nerve impulses

Components of extra cellular matrix

A. Water


B. Proteins


1. Structural proteins


a.collagen: strong, flexible fiber


b.elastin: elastic fibers


2. Glycoproteins: proteins with carbohydrates


a.fibronectin and laminin- help connect components to cells


C. Proteoglycans


1. Mostly carbohydrates attached to a protein backbone


2. Different functions


a. Shock absorber


b.thickens fluid


c. Reduces blood clotting

Two types of epithelial tissue

1.Membranous (covering or lining)


2. Glandular: secretory units of endocrine and exocrine glands

Functions of epithelial tissue

A. protection


B. Sensory functions


C. Secretion


D. Absorption


E. Excretion

Generalization of epithelial tissue

Avascular- no blood vessels


Basement membrane


close junctions


Capable of reproduction


Limited amount of matrix

5 properties

Simple squamous epithelium

Found at sites for filtration and diffusion

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Cuboidal shaped cells


-found in thyroid gland and kidneys


-functions in secretion and absorption

Simple columnar epithelium

Column shaped cells


Nonciliated and ciliated


In stomach lining and lines airways

Stratified epithelium

Two of more layers of cells

Stratified squamous epithelium

Several layers of cells that are flat in the apical layer


New cells are pushed up toward the apical layer

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Fairly rare type of epithelium


Apical layers are cuboidal


Functions in protection & some secretion/absorption


Found in ducts of apocrine sweat glands

Pseudostratified

Lines some airways and most of the upper respiratory tract

Transitional epithelium

Found only in the urinary system


Variable appearance


Ideal for hollow structure subjected to expansion ex. Bladder

Glandular epithelium


Endocrine glands

Secrete hormones, diffuse directly into the bloodstream


Function in maintaining homeostasis

Glandular epithelium


Exocrine glands

Secrete products into ducts that empty onto the surface of epithelium


Mucus,sweat, oil, earwax, saliva and digestive enzymes

Types of exocrine glands

Apocrine


Holocrine


Merocrine

Connective tissue

Most abundant and widely distributed tissues in the body


Numerous functions

Four main types of connective tissue

Fibrous


Bone


Cartilage


Blood

Fibrous connective tissue: areolar

Most widely distributed in the body


Contains several types of cells and all three fibers


Combined with adipose, makes the subcutaneous layer

Fibrous connective tissue: adipose

Fat

Fibrous connective tissue: reticular

Fine interlacing reticular fibers and cells


Forms the stroma of liver, spleen, and lymph nodes

Fibrous connective tissue: dense regular

Bundles of collagen fibers are regularly arranged in parallel patterns for strength


Tendons and most ligaments

Fibrous connective tissue: dense irregular

Contain branching elastic fibers


Strong and can recoil to original shape after stretching


Lung tissue and arteries

Bone tissue

Bones are organs composed of several different connective tissue:


Bone tissue(osseous)


Periosteum


Endosteum

Hyaline cartilage

Most abundant cartilage in the body


Provide flexibility and support

Fibrocartilage

Chondrocytes are scattered amound bundles of collagen fibers within the extracellular matrix


Lack a perchondrium


Strongest type of cartilage


Found in intervertebral disc (between vertebrae)

Elastic cartilage

Chrondrocytes are located within a thread-like network of elastic fibers


Provides strength and elasticity

Liquid connective tissue

Blood tissue


-connective tissue with liquid extracellular matrix called blood plasma



Lymph

Muscular tissue

Consists of elongated cells called muscle fibers or myocytes


-cells use ATP to generate force


-several functions of muscle tissue


Classified into three types: skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscular tissue

Three types of muscular tissue

Skeletal


Cardiac


Smooth muscular tissue

Skeletal muscle tissue

Attached to bones of skeleton


Has striations


Voluntary movement


Vary in length (up to 40 cm) and are roughly cylindrical in shape

Cardiac muscle tissue

Has striations


Involuntary movement


Intercalated disc, unique to cardiac muscle tissue

Smooth muscle tissue

Walls of hollow internal structures


-blood vessels, airways of lungs, stomach, and intestines


Non striated


Usually involuntary

Nervous tissue

Consists of two principle types of cells


-neurons or nerve cells


-neuroglia
