Histology-Study of tissue types
Chap 4
Main tissue types
• Epithelial
• Connective
• Nervous
• Muscle tissue
Epithelial Tissue
• Coverings and boundries
• Functions:– Protection– Absorption– Filtration– Excretion– Secretion– Sensory reception
Epithelial Tissue Characteristics
• Cellularity- cells packed close together
• Specialized contacts- communication and attachment between cells– Tight Junctions– Desmosomes
• Polarity- have a top and bottom– Apical surface– Basal surface
Epithelial Tissue Characteristics
• Supported by connective tissue– Basement membrane
• Avascular but innervated- few blood vessels, has nerve fibers
• Regenerative- can repair “easily”
Simple vs Stratified epithelium cellsSquamous
• Simple - adapted for filtration and reducing friction (aveoli, body cavities, kidney-loop of Henle)
• Multilayered structure of stratified - adapted for surfaces exposed to wear and tear (skin, mouth, esophagus)
Cuboidal
• Simple (almost all)- secretion or absorption (pancreas, salivary glands Thyroid hormones)
• Stratified (rare) – (along ducts of sweat glands)
Columnar
• Simple- Secretion, absorption, protection from chemical stress (small intestine, stomach)
• Psudostratified – typically have cilia (nasal cavity, trachea, male reproductive tract)
• Stratified (rare) – (small areas of pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary gland, urethra)
Glandular Epithelia
• Contain gland cells specialized for secretion– Endocrine glands-hormones
• Pancreas, thyroid , thymus, pituitary
– Exocrine glands – have tubular ducts to the surface
• Perspiration, tears, milk, mucus

6. Transitional epithelial
7. EC- Stratified Columnar
Connective Tissue
• Found throughout the body; most abundant and widely distributed in primary tissues
– Connective tissue proper– Cartilage– Bone– Blood
Functions of Connective Tissue
• Binding and support
• Protection
• Insulation
• Transportation
Characteristics of Connective Tissue
• Connective tissues have:– Mesenchyme as their common tissue of origin– Varying degrees of vascularity– Nonliving extracellular matrix, consisting of
ground substance and fibers
Pg 121
Connective Tissue Proper
Loose Connective tissues– Areolar – gel-like: cushions– Adipose – fatty: fuel reserve, insulation– Reticular – fiborous: internal, cell support
Connective Tissue Proper
Dense Connective tissue – collagen fibers, elastin fibers (fibroblast cells) – Regular – attach muscle to bone, muscle to
muscle, bone to bone (Ligaments and tendons)
– Irregular – structural strength (Dermis of skin, submucosa of digestive tract)
Cartilage
Solid matrix of Colloagen fibers (condrocytes- mature condroblasts)- avascular
- Hyaline – very hard and solid – connected to bone
- Elastic – more flexible (ears, epiglottis)- Fibrocarilage – in between flex – absorbs
shock (between vertebra)
Bone
-calcified matrix w/ collagen fibers – ostoblast cells mineralize and become ostecytes in lacunae (cavities) - vascularized
Blood

Nerve Tissue
• Function: Respond to stimuli and transmit impulses.– Generate and conduct electrical impulses– Regulate and control body functions
• Cells are called neurons– Composed of cell body, axon and dendrites. – Single cell may run up to several feet long.
• Supporting cells– Support– Insulation– Protection
• (We’ll discuss in detail in Chap 11)
Muscle tissue
• Myofilaments for movement– Actin– Myocin
• Look for striations perpendicular to fibers
• Lots of mitochondria
Muscle tissue types
• Skeletal- very striated– Voluntary Muscle
• Cardiac – more loose structure, striated– Inertercolated discs (connection between
branching cells)
• Smooth – barely visible striations– Involuntary Muscle
For your slides
• Nerve tissue– Mammal Neuron motor nerve
• Muscle tissue– Skeletal– Cardiac– smooth

Tissue Repair
• 1. Inflammation– Trauma causes damaged cells , macrophages
and mast cells to release inflammatory chemicals
– Capillaries dilate, allow WBC, clotting proteins and antibodies into damaged area
– Clots form to isolate area (hardening forms scab)
Tissue Repair
• 2. Organization restore blood supply– Granulation tissue
• Capillaries• Fibroblasts
– growth factors– Collagen fibers
Tissue Repair
• 3. Regeneration and fibrosis– Epithelial cells regenerate– Collagen (fibrous tissue) contracts to pull
edges together• Some left behind to form scar tissue
Infections
• Simple– Pimple or sore throat– Regeneration only, no fibrosis– No clotting
• Severe– Destructive– Scar tissue formed
• Scar tissue– Mostly collagen fibers, shrink and compact– Replaces original tissue type- does not function as
original tissue type– Very strong, not very flexible
Cancer
• Tumor or neoplasm – loss of apoptosis (programmed cell death)– Benign- polyp - localized extra growth of cells,
encapsulated– Malignant – Metastasis – spread to other
parts of the body, often “de”-differentiate
• Oncogenes – cancer causing genes
• Carcinogenic – cancer causing “chemical”
Types of Cancer
- Adenoma adenocarcinoma – Epithelial glands– Papilloma carcinoma – epithelial squamous– Nevus (mole) melanoma – melanocytes (pigmented
skin cells)– Sarcoma – connective and muscle– Lymphoma – lymphatic tissue– Leukemia – blood– Osteoma – bone– Condroma – cartilage– Lipoma – adipose– Fibroma – fibrous connective tissue
Cancer treatment
• Surgery – can be effective for benign tumors
• Systemic treatment– Radiation Therapy – Chemotherapy– Kills ALL types of rapidly growing cells– Unpleasant side effects
• Nausea/ vomiting• Hair loss

MORE EXAMPLES OF HISTOCHEMISTRY
Review Assignment
• Read pg 142-143 (cancer)• Scan Chap summary
– Pg 110-112 (cells)– pg145-146 (histology)
• DO Review Questions– Pg 112-113 (cells)– Pg 147 (histology)– Be sure to discuss all Crit think /Clinical App.
Questions w/ a partner! We will go over these in class last ½ hr
