2. endothelial 3. mesothelial |
|
Types of Connective Tissue
|
1. areolar (loose)
2. adipose 3. collagenous (dense) 4. elastic 5. reticular 6. cartilage 7. bone |
|
2 types of Cartilage
|
1. Hyaline cartilage
2. Fibrocartilage 3. Elastic Cartilage |
|
types of Muscle
|
smooth
cardiac striated |
|
Epithelium Tissue
|
- occurs most commonly in sheets and is especially adapted for covering tissues
the amount of intercellular material, being no more than is required to cement the cells together, is reduced to a minimum functions: - protection - absorption - secretion |
|
Epithelial Tissues
|
- epidermis (outer layer of skin) and living membranes that are continuous with the epidermis
- include the membranes lining the digestive, respiratory, urinary and generative tracts - may be only one cell thick (simple) or may consist of many layers (stratified) |
|
Endothelium
|
- forms the inner lining o the wlls of the blood and lymphatic vessels and heart
- have no continuity with the epidermis - consist of a single layer or flattened cells to form a smooth surface o the inside of the vessels |
|
Mesothelium
|
- a single-layered, very flattened epithelium
- lines the 4 great cavities of the trunk |
|
Aroalar Tissue
|
- a connective tissue
- forms a bed for skin and mucous membranes. - it is called "aroalar" because the cells lie in a loose, irregular network of scattered fibres which fill the area |
|
Adipose Tissue
|
- a connective tissue
- is areolar tissue that is impregnated with cells loaded with fat (adipose cells) |
|
Collagenour (dense) Tissue
|
- a connective tissue
- has a predominance of white, collagenous fibers in bindles - strong but stretches little -the principle component of tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, deep fascie, intermuscular septa and periosteum |
|
Elastic Connective Tissue
|
- a connective tissue
- has elastic fibers that branch freely and can be stretched - a component of the walls of elastic arteries, the trachea, bronchial tubes and the lungs themselves |
|
Reticular Connective Tissue
|
- a connective tissue
- very delicate trellis-work of loose areolar tissue providing the support and framework of many organs |
|
Cartilage
|
- capable of enduring considerably more stress than other connective tissues
- three types: 1. hyaline 2. Fibrocartilage 3. Elastic Cartilage |
|
Bone
|
- a highly specialized connective tissue in wish extacellular matrix becomes calcified and mantained in this state through the activity of special connective tissue cells called osteocytes
|
|
Hyaline
|
- the most abundant kind of cartilage in the body
- found in joints where it is called articular cartilage - also forms the ventral ends of the ribs where it is called costal cartilage -affords flexibility and support |
|
Fibrocartilage
|
- has a greater number of connective tissue fibers in the matrix
-strong and rigid - fount in the intervertebral discs and in the symphysis pubis |
|
Elastic Cartilage
|
-contains many elastic fibers
- provides strength and maintains the shape of certain organs |
|
Tendons
|
attach muscles to bone
|
|
Ligaments
|
attach bone to bone
|
|
Aponeuroses
|
flat bands connecting muscle to muscle or muscle to bone
|
|
Smooth Muscle
|
-typically occurs in sheets surrounding hollow viscera (eg., the walls of the digestive tract, walls of blood vessels)
- involuntary contraction - the individual muscle is elongated with tapered ends - the cells are interlocked with each other and contraction occurs regionally rather than involving individual cells |
|
Cardiac Muscle
|
- confined to the heart and the bases of the great vessels adjacent to the heart
- involuntary contraction - have some striations - cells tend to branch |
|
Straited (skeletal) Muscles
|
- individual cells or fibers are cylindrical
- each fiber contains many nuclei and closely packed, longitudinally arranged fibrils (myofibrils) that form alternating light and dark bands - fibres run parallel to one another and do not branch like cardiac muscle |
|
Two layers of the Skin:
|
1. Epidermis
2. Dermis |
|
Epidermis
|
- epithelium
- non-vascular nails, hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands |
|
Dermis
|
- firmly attached to the deep surface of the epidermis.
|
|
Superficial Fascia
|
- also called subcutaneous tissue
- classifies as loose (areolar) connective tissue - in certain parts of the body and in obesity, this tissue is replete with fat (adipose) cells and is then called adipose tissue |
|
Deep Fascia
|
- this, whitish layer of dense, irregular tissue
- deep in the superficial fascia - forms a continuous layer around the musculature blending with the outer dense connective tissue sheaths of the muscle |
|
Periosteum
|
thin layer of connective tissue around bones
|
|
Fascia
|
loose, areolar connective tissue that forms a packing layer around nervesm blood vessels, muscles and organs such as the heart and kidneys
|
|
Functions of bones
|
1. support framework of body
2. act as levers for the muscles 3. provide protection for viscera 4. primary blood flowing organs 5. storehouse of various salts |
|
Long bone
|
- have a greater length than width
- consist of diaphysis (shaft) and two epiphyses (extremities) - more or less curved for greater strength - designed for leverage and weight-bearing |
|
Short bone
|
- somewhat cube-shaped
- eg., bones in wrists and ankles |
|
Flat bones
|
- thin and flat
- provide protection and considerable areas for muscle attachment - eg., cranial bones, sternum, ribs and scapula |
|
Irregular bones
|
- very complex shapes and cannot be grouped into any of the other 3 categories
- eg., facial bones and vertebra |
|
sesamoid bone
|
- small nodules of bone formed in various tendons where a lot of pressure develops.
- eg., knee cap (patella) |
|
Oseoblasts
|
Bone forming cells
