INTRODUCTION
Tissue: groups of cells with similar function/structure
Histology: study of tissues
Biopsy vs Autopsy?
Tissue types
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
EMBRYONIC GERMS
BONE
Bone cells, or osteocytes are located within holes in the matrix,
which are called lacunae
Compact (outer) Cancellous/Spongy (inner)
Mineral salts: especially calcium and phosphorus → HARD
BONE
TEETH
Dentin – related to bone in structure but is harder and denser. Light
brown
Enamel – outer covering of the crown with white appearance
BONE (CANCELLOUS)
BONE
BONE (COMPACT)
BONE
SPECIALIZED CONNECTIVE TISSUE (CONT’D.)
BLOOD
fluid portion + formed elements
Formed elements
Erythrocytes (RBC)
BLOOD
Leukocytes (WBC)
Thrombocytes (Platelets)
Hemopoietic tissue forms blood cells. In adults, hemopoietic
tissue is found in bone marrow (yellow and red)

OTHER SPECIALIZED CONNECTIVE TISSUE
1. Support
Bones, cartilage
2. Nourishment
Blood
3. Transportation
Blood
4. Connection
Tendons, ligaments
CONNECTIVE TISSUE FUNCTIONS (CONT’D.)
5. Movement
Bones, tendons
6. Protection and insulation
Bones, blood, fat
7. Storage
Bone, fat
8. Attachment and separation
Attaches skin to muscle
MUSCLE TISSUE
MUSCLE TISSUE
Voluntary control
Multinucleated and striated
Actin and myosin
STRIATED (SKELETAL)
MUSCLE
Cylindrical shape
Connected to other cardiac muscle cells by
intercalated disks with gap junctions
Contraction for beating of heart
CARDIAC
MUSCLE
Cardiac muscle
Parts
Cell body: contains nucleus
Dendrites: root-like extensions that receive stimuli
Axons: long thin extensions that transmit impulse
Neuroglia: supporting cells
NERVOUS TISSUE (CONT’D.)
Nervous tissue
Makes up brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Is most highly organized tissue of the body
Controls and coordinates body activities
Allows perception
Controls emotion and reasoning
Stores memories
MOTOR NEURON
