Histology

  1. Study of Tissue

    • Types of Tissues
      • Epithelial
        • Definition:
          • Tissues composed of layers of closely spaced cells
            • Function
              • Forms glands
              • Serve for protection
              • Cover organ surfaces
              • Secretion
              • Absorption
              • Filtration
                • Definition:
                  • Movement down pressure gradient
              • Sensation (5 senses)
              • Excretion (remove waste)
            • Locations
              • Epidermis
              • Inner lining of digestive tract
              • Liver
                • And other glands
            • Characteristics:
              • Cellularity (How the matrix forms)
                • Closely packed together like continous sheets
              • Avascular but innervated
      • Connective
        • Definition
          • Tissue with usually more matrix than cell volume
            • Function
              • Support
              • Bind
              • Protect organs
            • Location
              • Tendon and ligament
              • Cartilage and bone
              • Blood
      • Nervous
        • Definition
          • Tissue containing excitable cells
            • Function
              • Rapid transmission of coded information to other cells
            • Location
              • Brain
              • Spinal cord
              • Nerves
      • Muscular
        • Definition
          • Tissue composed of elongated, excitable muscle cells
            • Function
              • Contraction
            • Location
              • Skeletal muscles
              • Heart (Cardiac muscle)
              • Smooth muscles (Walls of viscera)
    • Definition of tissue
      • Group of cells that have the same function
    • All contain:
      • Matrix (Extracellular fluid)
        • Composed of:
          • Ground substance
            • Other names:
              • Clear gel
              • Tissue fluid
