Histology: The Study of Tissues
Chapter 4 Histology: The Study of Tissues
2
Tissues and Histology Tissues are collections of similar cells and the substances that surround them. Tissue Level of Organization Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous Histology: Microscopic Study of Tissues
3
Epithelium Characteristics
Consists almost entirely of cells Covers body surfaces and forms glands Has free and basal surface Specialized cell contacts Avascular Undergoes mitosis
4
Functions of Epithelia
Protecting underlying structures Acting as barriers Permitting the passage of substances Secreting substances Absorbing substances
5
Classification of Epithelium
Simple Squamous, cuboidal, columnar Stratified Pseudostratified columnar Transitional Cuboidal to columnar when not stretched and squamouslike when stretched

Functional Characteristics
Cell layers and shapes Diffusion, Filtration, Secretion, Absorption, Protection Cell surfaces Microvilli: Increase surface area absorption or secretion Cilia: Move materials across cell surface Cell connections Desmosomes, tight, gap Glands Exocrine: Have ducts Endocrine: Have no ducts
15
Cell Connections Functions Types Bind cells together
Form permeability layer Intercellular communication Types Desmosomes Tight Gap
16
Exocrine Glands Unicellular Goblet cells
17
Multicellular Exocrine Glands
18
Exocrine Glands and Secretion Types
Merocrine Sweat glands Apocrine Mammary glands Holocrine Sebaceous glands
19
Connective Tissue Abundant
Consists of cell separated by extracellular matrix Diverse Performs variety of important functions
20
Functions of Connective Tissue
Enclosing and separating as capsules around organs Connecting tissues to one another as tendons and ligaments Supporting and moving as bones Storing as fat Cushioning and insulating as fat Transporting as blood Protecting as cells of the immune system
21
Connective Tissue Cells
Specialized cells produce the extracellular matrix Suffixes -blasts: create the matrix -cytes: maintain the matrix -clasts: break the matrix down for remodeling Adipose or fat cells Mast cells that contain heparin and histamine White blood cells that respond to injury or infection Macrophages that phagocytize or provide protection Stem cells
22
Extracellular Matrix Components Protein fibers Ground substance Fluid
Collagen which is most common protein in body Reticular fill spaces between tissues and organs Elastic returns to its original shape after distension or compression Ground substance Shapeless background Fluid
23
Connective Tissue Categories
Embryonic or mesenchyme Adult Loose Dense Connective tissue with special properties Cartilage Bone Blood
24
Loose Connective Tissue
Also known as areolar tissue Loose packing material of most organs and tissues Attaches skin to underlying tissues Contains collagen, reticular, elastic fibers and variety of cells
25
Dense Connective Tissue
Dense regular Has abundant collagen fibers Tendons: Connect muscles to bones Ligaments: Connect bones to bones Dense regular elastic Ligaments in vocal folds Dense irregular Scars Dense irregular collagenous Forms most of skin dermis Dense irregular elastic In walls of elastic arteries

28
Connective Tissue with Special Properties
Adipose tissue Consists of adipocytes Types Yellow (white) most abundant, white at birth and yellows with age Brown found only in specific areas of body as axillae, neck and near kidneys Reticular tissue Forms framework of lymphatic tissue Characterized by network of fibers and cells
29
Adipose Tissue
30
Reticular Tissue
31
Cartilage Composed of chondrocytes located in spaces called lacunae
Next to bone firmest structure in body Types of cartilage Hyaline Fibrocartilage Elastic
32
Hyaline Cartilage Found in areas for strong support and some flexibility Rib cage and cartilage in trachea and bronchi Forms most of skeleton before replaced by bone in embryo Involved in growth that increases bone length
33
Fibrocartilage Slightly compressible and very tough
Found in areas of body where a great deal of pressure is applied to joints Knee, jaw, between vertebrae
34
Elastic Cartilage Rigid but elastic properties
External ears, epiglottis
35
Bone Hard connective tissue that consists of living cells and mineralized matrix Organic and inorganic Types Cancellous or spongy bone Compact bone
36
Bone
37
Blood Matrix between the cells is liquid Hemopoietic tissue
Forms blood cells Found in bone marrow Yellow Red
38
Bone Marrow
39
Muscle Tissue Characteristics Types Contracts or shortens with force
Moves entire body and pumps blood Types Skeletal Striated and voluntary Cardiac Striated and involuntary Smooth Nonstriated and involuntary
40
Skeletal Muscle
41
Cardiac Muscle
42
Smooth Muscle
43
Nervous Tissue Found in brain, spinal cord and nerves
Ability to produce action potentials Cells Nerve cells or neurons Consist of dendrites, cell body, axons Consist of multipolar, bipolar, unipolar Neuroglia or support cells
44
Neurons
45
Neuroglia
46
Membranes Mucous Serous Synovial
Line cavities that open to the outside of body Secrete mucus Serous Line cavities not open to exterior Pericardial, pleural, peritoneal Synovial Line freely movable joints Produce fluid rich in hyaluronic acid
47
Inflammation Response when tissues damaged or with an immune response
Manifestations Redness, heat, swelling, pain, disturbance of function Mediators Include histamine, kinins, prostaglandins, leukotrienes Stimulate pain receptor and increase blood vessel permeability
48
Tissue Repair Substitution of viable cells for dead cells Skin repair
Primary union: Edges of wound close together Wound fills with blood Clot forms Scab Pus Granulation tissue Scar Secondary union: Edges of wound not close Clot may not close gap Inflammatory response greater Wound contraction occurs leading to greater scarring
49
Tissue Repair
50
Tissues and Aging Cells divide more slowly in older than younger people Tendons and ligaments become less flexible and more fragile Arterial walls become less elastic Rate of blood cell synthesis declines in elderly Injuries are harder to heal in elderly
