Tissue Types
Integumentary System
Homeostatic Mechanisms
Four Major Tissue Types
• Connective: binds and supports
body parts
• Muscular: allows movement
• Nervous: receives stimuli and
conducts impulses
• Epithelial: covers body surfaces,
lines body cavities
Three Components of Connective Tissue
Specialized cells
Ground Substance: Non-cellular
material separating cells
Protein Fibers
Loose Fibrous Connective Tissue
• Contains fibroblast cells
• Matrix: ground substance +
fibers
• Protective covering for muscles,
blood vessels, nerves
Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue
• Collagen fibers packed together
• Forms
– Tendons: connect muscles to bone
– Ligaments: connect bone to bone
Fibrous Connective Tissue: Adipose Tissue
nucleus
•Cells store fat
•Found under skin, around kidneys, heart
Supportive Connective Tissue: Cartilage
• Solid, flexible matrix
• Cells located in chambers – lacunae
Elastic cartilage
--elastin fibers
--more flexible
--outer ear
Fibrocartilage
--strong collagen fibers
--between vertebrae
and in knee joint
Hyaline cartilage
--most common
--contains fine collagen fibers
--nose, ends of long bones
and ribs, walls of respiratory passages
Supportive Connective Tissue: Bone
• Solid, rigid matrix of calcium salts around
collagen fibers
• In compact bone, cells are located in spaces
between rings of matrix
Compact bone
Spongy bone
Fluid Connective Tissue: Blood
• Liquid matrix = plasma
– dissolved substances, eg. gases, ions
– suspended substances, eg. proteins
• Formed elements: cells and
cell fragments
– Red blood cells
– White blood cells
– Platelets
• Cell fragments that
aid in blood clotting
Fluid Connective Tissue: Lymph
• Liquid matrix = lymphatic fluid
• Contains white blood cells

Muscular Tissue
• Cells are called muscle fibers
• Cells contain protein filaments called
actin and myosin

Cardiac Muscle

Nervous Tissue
• Neurons- conduct nerve impulses
• Neuroglia- support and nourish
neurons Receives signals from
other neurons
Maintains cell
metabolism
Conducts signals
to next neuron
Insulates neuron
Classification of Epithelial Tissue
Squamous:
flattened cells
Pseudostratified
Columnar
Simple = one layer
Pseudostratified = appears
as multiple layers
Stratified = multiple layers
Cuboidal:
cube-shaped cells
Columnar:
elongated cells
Other Terms Related to
Epithelial Tissue
• Basement Membrane- joins
epithelium to underlying connective
tissue
• Gland- epithelial tissue that
secretes a product
– mucus
– hormones

Integumentary System:
Skin and Accessory Organs
• Regions of the Skin
– Epidermis
• stratified squamous epithelium
• cells become hardened due to keratin
• continually replaced from basal layer
• melanocytes give pigmentation
Integumentary System:
Skin and Accessory Organs
• Regions of the Skin
– Dermis
• dense fibrous connective tissue
• contains collagen and elastic fibers
• contains sensory receptors for touch,
pressure, pain and temperature
• has blood vessels to nourish skin
Integumentary System:
Skin and Accessory Organs
• Accessory Organs
– Nails
– Hair follicles
– Oil glands
– Sweat glands
Integumentary System:
Skin and Accessory Organs
• Functions
– Protects organs from physical trauma
– Protects body from infections
– Limits water loss
– Regulates temperature
Body Cavities
Cranial cavity
Vertebral canal
Thoracic cavity
Abdominal cavity
Pelvic cavity
Homeostatic Mechanisms
Negative Ability to bring about a change
Feedback in the opposite direction, leads
to stability
eg. temperature regulation
Positive
Rapid change in one direction
Feedback eg. giving birth
