Tissues:
The
Living
Fabric
Anatomy & Physiology
Tissues
covering
support
movement
control
Tissues:
groups of closely
associated cells that are
similar in structure and
perform a common or
related function
Histology
study of
tissues
Tissues contain
60-99 % Water
Various dissolved
substances
Water is slightly
salty (0.9%)
Called Tissue Fluid
Too Much Tissue Fluid is Edema
Not Enough Tissue Fluid is
Dehydration
4 Main types of Tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Nerve
Muscle
Epithelial Functions
Protection
Absorption
Filtration
Excretion
Covers the Surface of the body
Forms the lining of the Intestinal tract.
Respiratory Tract, Circulatory Tract, and
Urinary Tracts
Surrounds many body cavities
Forms glands in body that produce very
specific secretions needed for bodily
function
Connective Tissue
Most abundant & widely distributed tissue
Binding & support, protection, insulation
Widely separated cells with abundant
intercellular matrix
Soft Connective Tissue
-wraps and cushions
organs, nerves
-Adipose: fat, food/energy
reserve, insulation,
padding; under skin,
around eyes, kidneys
-soft internal skeleton of
lymph nodes, spleen,
bone
Insulates body
Fibrous Connective Tissue
Ligaments
Tendons
Connects Bone to bone and bone to
muscles
Hard Connective Tissue
Cartilage & Bone
Cartilage: tough, elastic
material found between
vertebrae, at ends of
long bones, nose, ears,
larynx
No nerves
Poor blood supply
Heals poorly
Ossous/Bone
Calcium salts
Nerves
Blood vessels
Body structure/support
Calcium storage
Hematopoiesis
Nervous Tissue
Made up of special cells called neurons and
neuroglia (support cells)
Transmits messages throughout the body
Reacts to stimuli
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
Muscle Tissue
Highly cellular
Well vascularized
Power and movement through contractions
3 types
Skeletal Muscle
Attaches to bone
Striated
Voluntary
Cardiac Muscle
Causes heart to beat
Striated
Involuntary
Visceral/Smooth
In walls of hollow,
internal organs
Digestive tract, urinary
tract, uterus, blood
vessels
No striations
Involuntary
Epithelial Membranes
Combinations of epithelial tissue and
connective tissues
5 types
Mucous Membrane
Lines body cavities
“Wet” membrane
Absorption and
secretion
Serous Membrane
Lines closed body
cavities
Secretes serous fluid
Protects against friction
Pleura, peritoneum,
pericardium
Synovial Membrane
Fibrous tissue that lines
the cavities of freely
movable joints
Dense Fibrous Membrane
Tough, opaque
Protection
Dura mater,
periosteum, sclera
Cutaneous Membrane
“Dry” membrane
Skin
