An in-depth exploration of various types of tissues, including epithelial and connective tissues, and their functions. It also covers the study of histology and the primary tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Additionally, it discusses the major bones of the cranium, face, and vertebral column, as well as the muscles of the back and abdomen. Lastly, it introduces the twelve cranial nerves and their functions.

Be able to identify the following: Histology of Epithelial Tissue Tissues: group of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common function. Histology: the study of tissues and how they are arranged into organs Four primary tissues: o Epithelial tissue Simple squamous Air sacs of lungs, lining blood vessels. Smooth lining, reduces friction, allows simple diffusion Simple cuboidal Forms many major glands and glandular organs, major cell type of kidney and pancreas. Secretion of fluids or hormones (sweat, oil), re-absorption (kidneys) Simple columnar Inner portion of digestive tract, uterine tubes, often associate with Goblet cells Provides absorptive areas on inner portions of the digestive tract Goblet cells secrete mulch Stratified Squamous Surface of skin, lining mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, anus, and vagina Provides physical protection against abrasions, pathogens and chemical attack Transitional Urinary bladder, renal pelvis, uterers Permits expansion and recoil after stretching Pseudostratified Columnar Lining of the respiratory tract and portions of the male reproductive tract Protection and secretion Have cilia o Connective Tissue Fibrous CT Loose CT o Reticular o Areolar o Adipose Deep in the skin, padding around eyes and kidney Provides padding and cushions shock; insulates Dense CT o Regular
o Irregular o Elastic Cartilage (supportive CT) Hyaline cartilage o Between tips of ribs and bones and trachea o Reduces friction between boney surfaces o Cells known as chondrocytes Fibrocartilage Elastic cartilage Bone (supportive CT) Throughout body. Support; regulates calcium levels; immune function Cells known as osteocytes Blood (fluid CT) Found throughout body in blood vessels Transport, immune function o Muscle Tissue Skeletal muscle Cells referred to as muscle fibers Striated, multinucleated, voluntary Cardiac muscle Cells referred to as myocytes Striated, branched, multinucleated, involuntary intercalated disc Smooth muscle Intestines (peristalsis), blood vessels, uterus, urinary tract, most organs. Nonstriated, involuntary o Nervous Tissue Two cell types found in nervous tissue: Neuron: specialized cell that conducts electrochemical impulses o 3 main regions: dendrites, cell body (soma) and the axon Glial Cells, or Neuroglia o Play supportive roles for neurons Major Bones of the Cranium Parietal, frontal, temporal, ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital Major Bones of the Face Nasal, zygomatic, maxillary, mandible, inferior Nasal conchae, lacrimal, vomer, palatine Bones of the Vertebral Column Atlas, axis, cervical vertebra, thoracic vertebra, lumbar vertebra Bones of Pectoral Girdle
All Cranial nerves
