EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Cells are bound tightly together
Little extracellular material
Arranged in sheets
Cover internal and external surfaces
Often control passage of material
Classified by shape of cells and number of layers
Pg 154-155; slides 157-158
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Abundant extracellular material
Matix (dominant part)
Fiber, cells in liquid, gel, or solid matrix
Function
Bind and/or support other tissue
Pg 154, 156, 159; slides 158-161
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER
Matrix consist of fibers
Loose or areola
Few fibers
Delicate arrangement
Fibrous
Ex. Tendons
Abundant, well organized
fiber
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
ADIPOSE TISSUE
Loose connective
Store large droplets of fat
BLOOD
Lymph
Liquid matrix
Sometimes in different category
RBC- Red Blood Cells
WBC- White Blood Cells
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
BONE
Osteocytes
Small cavities- lacunae
Hardest CT
Impregnated w/ calcium salts
Spongy
Loose rods of bones
Ends of arms and legs
Compact
Shafts of long bones
Tightly organized
MUSCLE TISSUE
Cells have ability to contract
Function
Locomotion
Other body movement
Pg 156-157,162; slides 161
MUSCLE TISSUE
SKELETAL
Voluntary movement
Long and cylindrical
Transverse striation
Each fiber is multi-nuclear
