Histology • Objective: To study different types of tissues and identify the followings: 1- Hyaline Cartilage (C.S) 2- Arteries and Veins (C.S) 3- Striated and Cardiac muscles (C.S) 4- Neurons and Spinal cord (C.S)
Tissues and Histology • Histology: Microscopic Study of Tissues • Biopsy: removal of tissues for diagnostic purposes • Autopsy: examination of organs of a dead body to determine cause of death
Major types of adult tissues: • 1- Epithelial • 2- Connective • 3- Muscle • 4- Nervous
Classification of epithelia • Number of cell layers • Simple • Stratified • Shape of apical surface cells • Squamous • Cuboidal • Columnar
C- Supporting connective tissues • Two types: • Cartilage • Bone Cartilage and bone support the body
Supporting connective tissues 1- Cartilage: • Cells called chondrocytes • Cells found in lacunae (capsules) • Perichondrium separates cartilage from surrounding tissues • Three types: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage
Hyaline Cartilage Figure 4.12g
Elastic Cartilage Figure 4.12h
3- Muscle tissue • Specialized for contraction • Three types: • Skeletal:attached to bones • Cardiac: muscle of the heart • Smooth: muscle associated with tubular structures
4- Neural tissue • Conducts electrical impulses. • Conveys information from one area to another.
