Main topics of Human Anatomy are adult spinal cord, articulations, autonomic nervous system, blood, circulation, classification of joints, functions of heart, glands, gall bladder, general osteology, head and neck, human development, tissues, major control system, neural tissues, muscle tissues, naming of joints and mammary glands. It contains: Anatomy, Branches, Surface, Histology, Developmental, Embryology, Hierarchy.

have a similar structure and perform a related function
Four types of tissue Epithelial = covering/lining Connective = support Muscle = movement Nervous = control Most organs contain all 4 types Tissue has non-living extracellular material between its cells
cells cover a surface or line a cavity
(tissue type #1)
Functions Protection Secretion Absorption Ion Transport Slippery Surface
Cellularity Specialized Contacts Polarity Apical vs. Basal Supported by Connective Tissue Avascular Innervated Regenerative

Microvilli: (ex) in small intestine Finger-like extensions of the plasma membrane of apical epithelial cell Increase surface area for absorption Cilia: (ex) respiratory tubes Whip-like, motile extension of plasma membrane Moves mucus, etc. over epithelial surface 1-way Flagella: (ex) spermatoza Extra long cilia Moves cell Docsity.com
Cells are connected to neighboring cells via:
Proteins-link cells together, interdigitate Contour of cells-wavy contour fits together Cell Junctions Desmosomes -adhesive spots on lateral sides linked by proteins/filaments, holds tissues together Tight Junctions -at apical area, plasma membrane of adjacent cells fuse, nothing passes Gap junction - spot-like junction occurring anywhere made of hollow cylinders of protein, lets small molecules pass
Pg 80
Desomosomes
Basement membrane = Sheet between the epithelial and connective tissue layers Attaches epithelium to connective tissue below Basal lamina: thin, non-cellular, supportive sheet Made of proteins Superficial layer Acts as a selective filter Assists epithelial cell regeneration by moving new cells Reticular fiber layer Deeper layer Support

secrete a water-based substance w/proteins
Exocrine Glands
Secrete substance onto body surface or into body cavity Have ducts (simple vs. compound) Unicellular (goblet cells) or Multicellular (tubular, alveolar, tubuloalveolar) (ex) salivary, mammary, pancreas, liver
Goblet cell in small intestineDocsity.com
secrete a water-based substance w/proteins
Endocrine Glands
Secrete product into blood stream Either stored in secretory cells or in follicle surrounded by secretory cells Hormones travel to target organ to increase response (excitatory) No ducts (ex) pancreas, adrenal, pituitary, thyroid Thyroid gland: hormone in follicles (F) released into capillaries (C)Docsity.com
most abundant and diverse tissue (tissue type #2)
Four Classes Functions include connecting, storing & carrying nutrients, protection, fight infection
CT contains large amounts of non-living extracellular matrix
Some types vascularized
All CT originates from mesenchyme
Two kinds: Loose CT & Dense CT Prototype: Loose Areolar Tissue Underneath epithelial tissue Functions Support and bind to other tissue Hold body fluids Defends against infection Stores nutrients as fat Each function performed by different kind of fiber in tissue
Fibers For Support Reticular: form networks for structure & support (ex) cover capillaries Collagen: strongest, most numerous, provide tensile strength (ex) dominant fiber in ligaments Elastic: long + thin, stretch and retain shape (ex) dominant fiber in elastic cartilage
Fibroblasts: cells that produce all fibers in CT, produce + secrete protein subunits to make them, produce ground matrix Interstitial (Tissue) Fluid: derived from blood in CT proper; medium for nutrients, waste + oxygen to travel to cells; found in ground matrix Ground Matrix (substance): part of extra- cellular material that holds and absorbs interstitial fluid, jelly-like with sugar & protein molecules
Areolar tissue below epithelium is body’s first defense Cells travel to CT in blood Macrophages -eat foreign particles Plasma cells -secrete antibodies, mark molecules for destruction Mast cells -contain chemical mediators for inflammation response White Blood Cells = neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils-fight infection Ground substance + cell fibers-slow invading microorganisms
