2 subtypes of Epithelium
1) Covering and Lining
(Protection, absorption, secretion)
2)Glandular
3 Classifications of Epithelium
1) Epithelial (external body surfaces)
2) Endothelial (lines blood and lypmh)
3) Mesothelial (covers internal organs)
Layers of Epithelium
simple, stratified, pseudostratified
Cell Shape
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
transitional
Simple Squamous Epithelium
-single layer
-flat, scale like cells
-adapted to diffusion, osmosis and filtration
simple cuboidal epithelium
-lines ducts and is involved in active transport of materials

-secretion and absorption

-kidney tubules
simple columnar epithelium
-lines many tracts including respiratory and digestive tracts

-protect underlying tissues

-can be modified to aid in food-related activities

-Cilia: hair like processes
stratified squamous epithelium
protection from wear and tear

basal cells multiply

cells shift upward and outward

superficial cells are flatter and older
stratified cuboidal epithelium
rare type

primarily protective

found in ducts of sweat glands, parynx, esophagus
stratified columnar epithelium
uncommon

protection and secretion

lines ducts of excretory organs

apears more like transitional
transitional epithelium
outer cell layer is large and rounded rather than flat

allows for distension

line hollow structures that expand such as the urinary bladder
mesothelial tissue lines what 4 cavities?
Peritoneal (abdominal)

Pleural (2 lungs)

Pericardial (heart)
Loose Connective Tissues
Areolar:
doesn't seem organized
found just beneath the skin

Adipose
high concentration of fat cells
looks like chickenwire, matrix

Reticular
Fibers
Collagen- WHITE
strong and stretch resistant, yet flexible

Elastic fibers- YELLOW
strong yet elastic, stretching up to 150% of relaxed length

Reticular fibers
collagen + glycoprotein. thin fibers. form networks with extensive branching. provide strength, support and form to many soft organs
2 types of Dense connective tissues
Regularly arranged

Irregularly arranged
Regularly arranged
Dense CT
adapted for tension in one direction

fibers have an orderly parallel appearance

most frequently composed of collagen
Irregularly arranged
Dense CT
Adapted for tensions occuring in varied directions

no consistent orientation of fiber bundles
Types of Dense CT
tendons

ligaments

fascia

reticular

aponeuroses
tendons
tough, non-elastic (collagen), cords that connect
MUSCLE TO BONE
MUSCLE to CARTILAGE
Ligaments
An elastic band of tissue (elastin) that connects
BONE TO BONE
BONE to CARTILAGE
CARTILAGE TO CARTILAGE

don't grow back if torn or damaged
Fascia
membranous sheets that organize muscle fibers into functional units

casing, "saran wrap"

(white collagen)
Reticular
a delicate matrix or cells which have processes that extend in all directions to join the processes of neighboring cells

flat matrix like appearance
Aponeurosis
A tendinous sheet that covers muscle and can connect muscles to the structures they more

(abdomen)

Ex: Plantar aponeurosis
Cartilage
A type of rigid CT

capable of growth

able to withstand large forces of compression yet may tear easily
Three types of cartilage
1)Hyaline

2)Fibrous

3)Elastic
Chondro=

Osteo=
Condro= cartilage

osteo= bone

Ex: condrocyte, osteocyte
Hyaline cartilage
Most rigid

Covers articular surfaces of joints, providing a smooth surface for movement

bluish
Fibrous Cartilage
Mostly Collagen

support and fusion

found in less movable joints

pinkish
Elastic cartilage
A lot of elastin (yellow)

Suport and shape

black
Bone
a rigid matrix

composed of bone cells, collagen fibers, and ground substance

collagen makes bond strong

inorganic mineral salts make bone hard
2 types of Bone
1)Dense/compact

2) spongy/cancellous

The two types interdigitate with each other along the length of the bone
Axial Skeleton

Appendicular skeleton
Axial-skull, thorax

Appendicular-everything else
3 Joint Classificaitons
1) Fibrous (synarthrosis)

2) Cartilaginous (amphiarthrosis)

3) Synovial (diarthrosis)
4 types of Fibrous (Synarthroidial) Joints
Immovable, joined by CT

1. Suture joints
2. Gomphoses (mandible & maxilla)
3. Syndesmoses
4. Schindylesis
2 types Cartilagenous (amphiarthroidial) Joints
1. Synchondroses
temporary
hyaline

2. Symphyses
Permanent
fibrocartilage discs

Slightly moveable
bones are connected by cartilage discs
movement occurs by the compression of discs
6 Synovial (diarthroidial) Joints
Freely moving joints

1. Ball and Socket (hip)
2. Hinge (elbow)
3. Pivot (1st and second vertebrae)
4. Condyloid or ellipsoid (wrist, jaw)
5. gliding or plane-(vertebrae and hands and feet)
6. saddle (thumb)
3 types of Muscle architecture
1) Parallel

2) Radiating

3) Pennate
Parallel Muscle architecture
muscle fibers run parallel to the long axis of the muscle

weakest- greatest range of motion
Radiating Muscle architecture
Fan shaped with bundles of muscle fibers diverging or converging as they approach their attachments

greatest power

Ex: hand
Pennate muscle architecture
groups of muscle fibers converge onto a tendon, If multiple sections called bipennate, multipennate, or circumpennate

limited range of motion but BIG power

has parallel muscle orientation
Muscle nomenclature
ORIGIN=attachment that is FIXED

INSERTION= the attachment that is being acted upon
Class I lever
Fulcrum is in the middle

Mechanical advantage- when force arm is longer that resistance arm

Mechanical disadvantage- when force are is shorter than the resistance arm

Ex: Elbow is mechanical disadvantage

Ex: pushing on a door closer to a hinge or further away from the hinge
Class II lever
Always a mechanical ADVANTAGE

like a wheelbarrow

fulcrum at one end and resistance in the middle. Applied force at the other end

Ex: calf muscle, jaw
Class III lever
always a DISADVANTAGE

Ex: biceps muscle and elbow

fulcrum at one end, applied force in the middle, load at the other end
Dendrites are...

Axon is...
Dendrite= afferent

axon= efferent
