What is a tissue and what are their types?
Tissue is a group of cells
cemented(found) together to do
specific function.
1.Epithelial tissues.
2.Connective tissues.
3.Muscular tissues.
4.Nervous tissues.
What are epithelial tissues?
Features
Always found covering a
surface.
Cells are rest on basement
membrane.
Substances between the cells
are few in amount.
What are the types of epitheliel tissues?
simple e.t., pseudo compound cilitated e.t., compound e.t., simple squamous e.t., compound squamous e.t., columnar e.t., cuboidal e.t.
What is a simple epithelial tissue?
It consist one layer of cells
What is a compound epitheliel tissue?
It consist more than one layer of
cells
What are simple squamous epithelia tissues?
Location: Wall of the digestive
system
Function: Protection
What are cuboidal epithelial tissue?
Location: Glands, kidney
Function: Secretion
What are columnar epithelial tissue?
Location: Glands of stomach, villi of
small intestine
Function: Absorption
What are compound squamous epithelial tissue?
Location: Skin, esophagus
Function: Protection
What are pseudo ciliated epithelial tissues?
Location: Nose, trachea
Function: Protection against dust particles
and germs.
What is the connective tissue?
Features:-
.Not covering surfaces.
.Not rest on abasement membrane.
.Substances between the cells are large
in amount
What are the types of connective tissue?
Proper
connective
tissue: Fats
Vascular
connective
tissue: Blood
Skeletal
connective
tissue: Bone
What is the proper connective tissue first class?
- Adipose connective tissue
Location: under skin
Function: energy storage,
insulation, shock absorber
What is the proper connective tissue second class?
- Elastic connective tissue
Location: Lungs, Blood vessels
Vocal cords
Function: Elasticity
What are the proper connective tissue third class?
- Fibrous connective tissue
Location: Tendons
Function: Connect between
muscles and bones
What is the proper connective tissue fourth class?
- Reticular connective tissue
Location: Spleen, Liver, Bone
marrow
Function: Connection
What are the vascular connective tissues?
.Blood cells
.White blood cells (WBCs)
.Red blood cells (RBCs)
. Blood platelets
What are white blood cells?
The biggest one of the blood
cells.
Called white because it lack of
the haemoglobin pigment.
It has a nucleus with many
shapes due to the nucleus
shape we have five types of
wbcs
Where are wbcs produced and what is their count?
The bone marrow produced
the new cells
Normal count 4000-11000
Count of wbcs help us at
diagnosis of diseases
What are cases of diagnosis of wbcs count?
- If the patient with total
higher than the maximum
count (12000) this patient may
have flu - If the patient with highest
total(90000) this patient may
have blood cancer (luekemia)
. If the patient with total lower
than the minimum
count(1000) this patient may
have Aids (HIV) or typhoid
fever
What is the location and general function of wbcs?
Location: Blood
Function: Defense mechanism
