Squamous

flat, many-sided cells with centrally located nucleus

Cuboidal

squarish cells with centrally located nucleus

Columnar

cells composed of two or more layers of cells

Simple

composed of one layer of cells

Stratified

composed of two or more layers of cells

Glandular Epithelium

are cells that invaginated into the underlying lamina propria

Acini

spherical group, specialized for secretion

Unicellular gland

one-celled gland that secretes mucous, solitary cell which appears cup-shaped resulting from accumulation of mucoid secretion

Multicellular glands

this gland is made up of many cells

Serous

These cells are columnar, cytoplasm is acidophilic and granular

Mucous

These cells are cuboidal, cytoplasm is basophilic

Neuro-epithelium

composed of pseudo-stratified epithelium specialized to receive sensations

Retina

design for vision

Organ for Corti

design for hearing

Ampulla Crista Ampullaris

function for equilibration

Olfactory cells

design for smell

Surface epithelium

This structure is for surface modification of the epithelium

Microvilli

submicroscopic filaments projecting from the superficial layer of the cytoplasm

Striated border

composed of many extremely thin, short, uniform and closely packed protoplasmic projections

Brush border

short processes which are irregulary arranged as cuboidal cells seen in the kidneys

stereo cilia

very elongated, non-motile hair like processes

cilia

hairlike processes with basal corpuscles

Gap junctions

small channels that allow materials to cross the epithelial layers

Connective tissues

serve to connect, give support and anchor part to the body and organs; developed from mesoderm where cells unite to make a network.

Hyaluronic acid

present in many connective tissues; has the capacity to bind water and is an important factor for the changes in viscosity and permeability of the ground substance in the tissue

Supporting Tissue

includes bones and cartilages

Vascular Tissue

includes blood and lymph

Fibroblast

most common and numerous in all types of connective tissues; large, flat, branching with many processes; are active during tissue injury and repair forming fibers

Plasma Cells

small round or irregular in shape; nucleus is eccentric with coarse chromatin forming "spoke of the wheel" pattern; actual formers of circulating antibodies.

Mast Cells

large, polyhedral or flattened cells with small nuclei, numerous along the blood vessel beds; motile but slow-moving and forms heparin and serotonin

Macrophages

or Histlocytes, irregulary shaped cells with short processes and smaller nuclei; phagocytic in inflammatory conditions

Pigment cells

elongated cells with short irregular outgrowths which cytoplasm contained granules of melanin; formed from melanoblasts

Undifferentiated mesenchyme

cells are similar but smaller to fibroblasts; found along blood vessels

Adipose cells

large brilliant spherical cells, "fat cells"

Blood cells

main component found in tissue spaces; these are neutrophil, monocyte and eosinophil which move in and out of the tissue

Collagenous

white fibers, most common type of fiber which posses little elasticity but high tensile strength

Fibrillae

bundles of fine wavy fibrils which are cemented together

Elastic

yellow fibers, homogenous straight and stretchable, resistant to acid and composed of the protein called elastin

Reticular fibers

similar to white fibers, on boiling yeilds reticulin; believed to be immature forms of white fibers

Embryonal and Adult Tissue Proper

Two types of connective tissue proper

Mesenchyme

called packing or filling tissue in the embryo from mesodermal cells migrating to spaces between germ layers.

Mucous

ground substance rich in mucin

Areolar/Loose connective tissue

irregulary arranged tissue that serves as packing tissue in adult between organs and other tissues

Reticular tissue

forms a network that serves as a supporting framework to lungs, liver, kidneys, marrow, bone, spleen, etc.

Lymphoid Tissue

common variety lf reticular tissue, for protection, hemopoeisis, and filtration of tissue fluid and lymph.

Adipose tissue

abundant in fat cells

Dense Fibrous tissue

collagenous fibers are the predominating fibers in the tissue spaces, appears silver white

Tendons

muscle to bone

Ligaments

helps hold bones together at joints

Aponeurosis

connects muscle or the periosteum to the bones

Membranes

investing and protecting organs all over the body

Fasciae

bands that wraps around muscles and hold them in place

Superficial and Deep Fasciae

Two types of Fasciae

Dense elastic tissue

elastic fiber that predominates in the tissue space which runs parallel to each other

Cartilage

sometimes called gristle, firm and tough also flexible, called chindriocytes

Hyaline Cartilage

type of cartilage, referred as skeletal or embryonic cartilage, bluish to white appearance, forms a matrix where most bones are developed

Fibrous Cartilage

type of cartilage is pervaded with heavy collagenous fibers

Elastic Cartilage

type of tissue wherein the intercellular matrix is pervaded with elastic fibers together woth cartilage cells

Bones

their cells are called osteocytes

Long, short, flat, irregular bones

Shape and size of bones

Compact or Spongy

Histologic texture of bones

Cancellous

or spongy, this has bigger cavities and is interior of the bone tissue

Dense

or compact, appears as a continous hard mass, has fewer spaces and is exterior to the bone tissue

Membrane

origin: develops directly from mesenchyme of the embryo forming membrane e.g flat bone of skull

Cartilage

Origin: develops from mesenchyme passing through a performed cartilage model e.g long bones
