tissue
composed of cells and matrix
- matrix (extracellular material)– composed of fibrous proteins and gel
- epithelial
- connective
- muscle
- nerve
Epithelial
simple-1 layer
stratified- more than 1 layer
squamous epithelium
flat
scaley
cubodial epithelium
cube shaped
equal in height/width
columnar epithelium
column like
pseudostratified epithelium
layer like
more tall than wide
fibrous connective tissue
binds tissues together
- collagenous fibers
- reticular fibers
- elastic fibers
collagenous fibers
tough
flexible
resist stretching
reticular fibers
framework for organs
elastic fibers
spring effect (elastin)
adipose tissue
energy storage (primary)
protective cushion for organs
insulation
white fat, brown fat
brown fat is
heat generating
cartilage types
hyaline (end of bones)
elastic (ear)
fibrocartilage
what is bone?
hard solid matrix
formed by osteocytes
red blood cells (erythocytes)
transport oxygen
white blood cells (leukocytes)
fight infection
platelets
clotting
soma
cell body
myocytes
muscle cells
dendrites
form nerve impulses and transmit toward cell body
axon
transmits impulses away from cell body
smooth (not striated) muscle tissue
walls of hollow organs
slow contractions- digestive tract and blood vessel
involuntary
cardiac (striated) muscle tissue
walls of heart
involuntary- not consciously controlled
skeletal (striated) muscle tissue
attached to bone
moves head, trunk, extremities
voluntary- consciously controlled
