Histology

Epithelial waste basket, Ectodermal in origin

Body covering
Internal endo external ecto
High cellularity and polarity
Basal layer lying a basement membrane
avascular
protect from foreign substance (acid, strong chemicals, high salinity)
non specific immune barrier
diffusion
gases in lungs
filtration kidney
secretion gland
absorption intestine
simple squamous blood vessels, alveoli of lungs, lining of heart,kidneys
(glomerular filter) single layer of flattened cell glomerulus (coiled tube) lining
bowmans capsule
simple cuboidal lining of glands ovaries and tubes of kidneys, long section of
ureter (tubules)
simple columnar tall and narrow, lies on basement membrane (high affinity to
stain) mucous secretion, nutrient absorption, intestine
lining of respiratory tract - pseudostratified columnar ciliated with with goblet cells
(wine glass shape) apical cytoplasm, different location and polarity of nucleus
microvilli (does not move unlike cilia)
stratified squamous
transitional base membrane cuboidal (dark staining) (1 layer up biggest nucleus)
apical balloon shaped. Flattens when stretched
keratinizing no nucleus (keratin will replace cells) dead cells (skin)
non keratinizing nucleus in apical layer throat (larynx esophagus) anus vagina
surfaces not in contact (mods) microvilli, cilia, goblet cells
developed cell to cell connection, tight junctions (tight fluid barrier)
hemidesmosome and desmosome anchors to basement membrane
gap junctions channels (diffusion may occur)
includes glands (specialized epithelial cells) can secret substance (secretory cells)
exocrine glands excretory ducts (tube) open external environment or body
cavity/tube gastrointestinal tract/urinary tract
endocrine ductless
glands can be classified best on component of their secretion
merocrine secretion carried exocytosis (no part of their cytoplasm is secreted) less
viscous, aquous
apocrine apical portion of secretory cell in included in secretion (sweet glands)
waxy lipid-filled secretion, part cytoplasm and cell membrane will be included
holocrine whole secretory cells is secreted together with its products
glands can be classified on structure
simple 1 excretory duct
compound branched
secretory cells tubular (pantay pantay), alveolar (protrusion) may bulge mas

connective tissue mesoderm

hypocellularity, have fibers

ground substance comprised of proteins and sugar
collagen most resistant and least flexible, resilient, widest diameter
reticular fill the space, smallest, most fine
elastic conductivity of recoil vertebrae, vocal chords
function: enclose, separate and connect tissues, support for movement, storage
calcium and adipose tissues, insulation of heat, transport nutrients, protect immune
cells
dense tendons, ligaments
regular - arranged
irregular
cartilage semi solid cartilage, chondrocyte cells, collagen provide support an
felibility
fibrocartilage: vertebra, tough config (patong-patong/crisscross), structural integrity
elastic cartilage: epiglottis
bone calcified
compact
spongy
osteoblast, osteoclast, osteocytes
cells are far apart
areolar ct in between hands muscles and nerves scanty cells, elastic and
collagenous fibers
adipose subcutaneous, hypoderms, thickness - mobility of skin thicker more
mobile seen on fat deposit surrounding mammary gland
