TYPES OF TISSUES AND THEIR ORIGINS
● Lateral Surface ○ epithelial cell face the adja cent cells on either side. AVASCULAR ● Epithelial tissue has its nerve supply but is avascular ○ Lack of blood supply ○ Rely on diffusion ○ it heals faster if there is blood vessel BASEMENT MEMBRANE a thin extracellular layer that commonly consists of two layers: the basal lamina and reticular lamina. ● Basal Lamina - is closer to— and secreted by—the epithelial cells. It contains proteins such as laminin and collagen. ● Reticular lamina- closer to the underlying connective tissue and contains proteins such as collagen produced by connective tissue called dibroblasts TWO TYPES OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE
1. Covering and lining epithelium ○ forms the outer covering of the skin and some internal organs. It also forms the inner lining of blood vessels, ducts, and body cavities, and the interior of the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. ○ Arrangement of cells in layers. ○ **Cell shapes.
and neutralize foreign substances
5. Macrophages a. are phagocytes that develop from monocytes, a type of white blood cell. 6. Leukocytes (White blood cells) a. certain conditions, they migrate from the blood into connective tissues. EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX ➢ the material located between its widely spaced cells ➢ Contain ground substance and fibers, the material between the cells and the fibers ➢ are secreted by the connective tissue cell and account for many of the functional properties of the tissue in addition to controlling the surrounding watery environment via specific proteoglycan molecules ➢ fibers in the ECM GROUND SUBSTANCE ● is the component of a connective tissue between the cells and fibers ● It supports cell fibers, binds them together, and provides a medium for exchanging substances between blood and cells. ● Collagen fibers are strong, flexible collagen bundles, the most abundant protein in your body. ● Elastic fiber : elasticity, plentiful in the skin, blood vessel walls, and lung tissue. ● Reticular fibers are made of collagen and glycoproteins. They support blood vessel walls and form branching networks around various cells (fat, smooth muscle, nerve). CLASSIFICATION OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE EMBRYONIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE A. Mesenchyme a. Forms all other types of connective tissue. Primarily present in the embryo B. Mucous (mucoid) connective tissue a. Support. (Umbilical cord of fetus) MATURE CONNECTIVE TISSUE LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE ➢ loosely intertwined between cells. The types of loose connective tissue are areolar connective tissue, adipose tissue, and reticular connective tissue. ➢ Softer with more cells fewer fibers compared to others ● Areolar Connective Tissue ○ the most widely distributed connective tissue in the body, ○ forms the subcutaneous layer, the layer of tissue that attaches the skin to underlying tissues and organs. ○ lies under epithelial ● Adipose tissue ○ predominantly made of adipocytes (fat cells) ○ stores fat, isolate,s and protect organs ● Reticular tissue ○ fine interlacing reticular fibers and reticular cells ○ forms the stroma (supporting framework) of the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes and helps bind together smooth muscle cells. ● Vascular tissue ○ Blood cells DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE ➢ Dense fibrous tissue and collagen fiber
➢ contains more numerous, thicker, and denser fibers (packed more closely) but considerably fewer cells than loose connective tissue. ● Dense regular Connective tissue ○ found in tendons or muscles, ○ bundles of collagen fibers are regularly arranged in parallel patterns that provide the tissue with great strength ● Dense irregular Connective tissue ○ found in the dermis or skin ○ irregularly arranged, pulling forces are exerted in various directions, ● Elastic Connective tissue ○ artery, the heartbeat needs elasticity to continue beating ○ Branching elastic fibers pre-dominate in elastic connective tissue CARTILAGE ➢ Less rigid and more flexible than bone ➢ The strength of cartilage is due to its collagen fibers, and its resilience (ability to assume its original shape after deformation) is due to chondroitin sulfate. ● Hyaline cartilage ○ most abundant cartilage in the body but the weakest among the three types of cartilage. ○ It provides flexibility and support and, at joints, reduces friction and absorbs shock ○ common during fetal development ● Fibrocartilage ○ highly compressible ○ dound in intervertebral disc ○ cushioning support in the spinal column ○ Fibrocartilage lacks a perichondrium. With a combination of strength and rigidity, ○ strongest of the three types of cartilage. ● Elastic Cartilage ○ perichondrium is present. Elastic cartilage provides strength and elasticity and maintains the shape of certain structures (external ear). BONE OSSEOUS TISSUE ➢ made up of osteocytes in cavities(lacunae) stored calcium and phosphorus ➢ classified as compact or spongy, depending on how its extracellular matrix and cells are organized. MUSCULAR TISSUE ➢ Contraction to produce movement ➢ consists of elongated cells called muscle fibers or myocytes that can use ATP to generate force ● Skeletal muscle ○ Long cylindrical, multinucleate cells ○ the feature is its striations, alternating light and dark bands within the fibers visible under a light microscope. ○ voluntary controls ● Cardiac Muscle ○ Found only in your heart, involuntary ○ started, uninucleate; branching, gas junction to form syncytia ● Smooth muscle ○ No visible striation, involuntary ○ found in hollow movements to change cavity size and propel substance ○ slower contraction, there is gap junctions ○ Peristalsis- a series of muscle contractions. NERVOUS TISSUE ● Characterized by the ability to conduct electrical signals called action potentials. ● Found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves ● Responsible for coordinating and controlling
