Matrix Characteristics:
Classification of Loose Connective Tissue
has abundant cells among few or loosely arranged fibers and a sparse to abundant gelatinous ground substance.
Classification of Dense Connective Tissue
has few cells among a dense network of fibers with little ground.
Classification of Cartilage Connective Tissue
has cells distributed among fibers in a firm jellylike ground substance. Cartilage is tough, but flexible, avascular, and without nerves.
Classification of Bone Connective Tissue
has cells distributed abundant fibers in a solid ground substance containing minerals, mostly calcium phosphate. Bone is organized in units, called osteons (Haversian system). Each osteon consists of a central canal (Haversian canal), which contains blood vessels and nerves, surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of hard matrix and collagen fibers. Between the lamellae are cavities (lacunae) that contain bone cells (osteocytes). Canals (canaliculi) radiate from the central canal and allow nutrient and waste exchange with osteocytes.
Classification of Blood Connective Tissue
is composed of various blood cells and cell fragments (latelets) distributed in a fluid matrix called blood plasma.
Four principle types of epithelial membranes
1. Serous membranes line interior organs and cavities. The serous membranes that line the heart, lungs and abdominal cavities and organs are called the pericardium, pleura, and peritoneum, respectively.
2. Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the outside of the body. These include the nasal cavity and the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital tracts.
3. Synovial membranes line the cavities at bone joints.
4. The cutaneous membrane is the skin.
Fibroblasts
are common in both loose and dense connective tissues.
Adipocytes
or flat cells, occur in loose connective tissue.
Reticular cells
resembles fibroblasts, but have long, cellular processes (extensions). They occur in loose connective tissue.
Chondtoblasts
Chondrocytes
occur in cartilage
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
occur in bone
Hemocytoblasts
occur in the bone marrow and produce erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (blood platelets).
Macrophages
engulf foreign and dead cells.
Plasma cells produce
antibodies
Mast cells secrete
histamine, which stimulates immune responses.
Skeletal muscle
consist of long cylindrical cells, that under a microscope, apperar striated with bands perpendicular to the length of the cell.

The many nuclei in each cell (multinucleated cells) are located near the outside along the plasma membrane.
Cardiac muscle
is striated and have single, cntrally located neuleus, and the fibers branch often.

Where two cardiac muscle cells meet, they form an intercalated disc containing gap junctions, which bridge the two cells.
Smooth muscle
consists of cells with a single, centrally located nucleus.

The cells are elongated with tapered ends and do not appear striated.

Smooth muscle lines the walls of blood vessels and certain organs such as the digestive and urogenital tracts, where it serves to advance the movement of substances.
Three kinds of muscle tissue
1. Skeletal muscle
2. Cardiac muscle
3. Smooth muscle

Stratified cuboidal epithelial tissue
Cells:

Stratified columnar epithelial tissue

basal and oval

Functions:
protection, secretion
Transitional epithelium
Cells:
vary depending on stretch, apical cells often large, round, and bi-nucleated

Nuclei:
centrally located

Functions:
distention (occurs only in bladder, ureter, and urethra)
Numer of cell layers in epithelium tissues
Simple - describes a single layer of cells

Stratified - describes epitheluim consisting of multiple layers.

Pseudostratified - describes a single a single layer of cells of different sizes, giving the appearance of being multilayered.
Neurons
are the basic structural unit of the nervous system.
Each neuron cell consist of
1. Cell body - contains the nucleus and other cellular organelles.

2. Dentrites - are typically short, slender extensions of the cell body that receive stimli.

3. Axon - is typically a long, slender extension of the cell body that sends stimuli.

4. Neuroglia or glial cells - provide support functions for the neurons, such as insulation or anchoring neurons to blood vessels.
