Lecture 5 Tissues
Histology
• How we examine tissues:
Teased, smeared or squashed samples, scraped – we
are looking at whole cells
Thin sections – very thin sections of the tissue are
made using a microtome after tissue has been
either frozen or embedded in some sort of solid
substance like wax or plastic –
Staining – In either case stains are used so enhance
contrast in the specimen
• What you need to know about tissues
• Appearance – be able to identify from photograph
or possibly microscope slide
• Where it might be found – specific example
• Kinds of cells involved
• Other details as cell types present, cilia, microvilli,
etc. – see histology handout
Four Tissue Types
• Tissue – group of similarly specialized
cells performing a similar function.

Epithelial Tissue
Functions: protection, absorption,
secretion
Cover all virtually all body surfaces, in
and out
Lack vascular supply
Classified based on shape and stacking
of cells
Generally supported on a basement
membrane (& connective tissue)
Classification of epithelial tissues
1) Cell shape (at free surface)
a) squamous - flat cells
b) cuboidal - cube shaped
c) columnar - column shaped
Reminders: -histology = thin section of a 3D object
-there are MANY tissues on each slide
Classification of epithelial tissues
2) Cell layers/arrangement
a) simple - a single layer
- relatively thin/fragile
- found lining internal structures
- simple squamous epithelium pictured
here
b) stratified
w/out
-multiple layers
-thicker
-may be in areas w/ stress
-stratified squamous epithelium
keratin pictured here
Name this epithelial tissue:
Cell arrangement/layers…….Shape of cells at surface
Name this epithelial tissue:
Pseudostratified Columnar (Fig 3.6.b):
-Lining much of the respiratory tract
-often have cilia & goblet cells
-looks layered BUT there is really only 1 layer of cells with nuclei at
different heights

• Glands
• Two types: How do they differ?
– Endocrine
– Exocrine
• Classification of exocrine glands
– Means of secretion
• Merocrine
• Apocrine
• Holocrine
– Complexity of structure
Connective Tissue
• Most abundant tissue in body
• Not on free surfaces
• Cells separated in a matrix (ground substance +
fibers)
• Good nerve & blood supply (except cartilage &
tendons- dense connective)
• Classified based on matrix components,
arrangement and type of protein fibers
Connective Tissues

Tissue
Cartilage
Bone
Connective Tissue Proper – Loose
• Areolar:
– Highly vascular
– Semi-liquid ground substance
– Cushions, subcutaneous, deep to digestive,
respiratory, etc.
• Adipose
– As areolar, but more adipocytes
– Cushions, energy storage
• Reticular
– Reticular fibers, macrophages, fibroblasts
– Stroma of liver, spleen, lymph nodes, bone
marrow
Connective Tissue Proper: Loose
Connective Tissue
Adipose and Adipocytes
– Develop from areolar connective – ‘on demand’
– Metabolically active
– May ‘deflate’ but do not go away
– Store lipids as energy reserve
Dense Connective Tissue
• High concentration of collagenous fibers
• Two types:
– Dense regular
• Tendons – muscle to bone
• Aponeuroses – broad sheets
• Elastic tissue – resilience – walls of blood
vessels
• Ligaments – bone to bone
– Dense Irregular
• Reinforcement of skin, capsules surrounding
internal organs, cavities of joints
Cartilage – 3 types
• Hyaline – ends of ribs, synovial joint surfaces,
fetal skeleton
– Stiff, flexible
• Elastic – examples: ear, epiglottis
– Resiliant and flexible
• Fibrocartilage – in knee joint, pubic sympysis,
intervetrebral discs, involved in bone repair
– Resists compression, provides some flexibility
in joint
Hyaline Cartilage
•
•
•
•
Bluish-shiny white rubbery substance
Chondrocytes sit in spaces called lacunae
No blood vessels or nerves so repair is very slow
Reduces friction at joints as articular cartilage
Fibrocartilage
• Many more collagen fibers causes rigidity & stiffness
• Strongest type of cartilage (intervertebral discs)
Elastic Cartilage
• Elastic fibers help maintain shape after deformations
• Ear, nose, vocal cartilages
Muscle
further discussion in later sections
• Specialized cells containing myosin and actin
(protein) fibers which produce contractions or
movement
• Types:
• Smooth – involuntary – lack striations
----Two types with striations----------• Skeletal – voluntary muscle; have cross striations
and responsible for body movement
• Cardiac – only found in heart – branched cells
bound end to end by intercalated discs
Nervous Tissue
• Involved in sensing and conducting and analysis of
information
• Two cell classes:
• Neurons – which conduct impulses
• Neuroglia – which support neurons by providing
support, protection and nourishment
• Further Discussion with nervous system
