Tissue
an aggregation of cells performing a similar function
Histology
the study of microscopic structure of tissues
4 Primary Tissue Types

1. Epithelial


2. Connective


3. Muscular


4. Nervous

Epithelial Tissue
lines cavities (lumen), covers surfaces, forms glands, always has a free surface
Connective Tissue
Protects and connects other tissues, transport system, primary energy reserve
Muscle Tissue
responsible for movement, produces heat
Nervous Tissue
generates and detects action potentials (nerve impulses)
Intracellular Fluid (ICF)
Fluid within cells
Extracellular Fluid (ECF)

Fluid outside body cells


*consists of ISF and Plasma

Interstitial Fluid (ISF)

ECF that fills narrow spaces between cells of


tissues

Plasma
liquid portion of blood
Fluid Mosaic Model
continually moving sea of fluid lipids that contains a mosaic of many different proteins
Plasma Membrane
a flexible yet sturdy barrier that surrounds and contains the cytoplasm
Phospholipid Bilayer
two back to back layers made up of three types of lipid molecules: phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids
selective permeability
permits some substance to pass more readily than others
Active Process
substance moving against its gradient
Passive Process
substance moving down its gradient
Solute

MINOR (dissolved in solvent)


ex: salt

Solvent

MAJOR (dissolves the solute)


ex: water

Diffusion
net movement of solutes from a region of greater concentration to a region of to a region of lesser concentration (moving down a concentration gradient - passive transport)
Osmosis
specialized form of diffusion, diffusion of solvent across a selectively permeable membrane in response to differences in solute concentrations, movement from high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration, passive process
Identify 2 cell types of Nervous Tissue

1. Neuroglia


2. Neurons

Identify Specific Features of a Neuron

1. Axons


2. Dendrites


3. Soma

Cellularity
Cells packed together in an orderly fashion with little extracellular matrix
