Resource summary
Histology
The study of the normal structure of tissues
Tissue:
A group of structurally and functionally related cells & their ECM that perform a common function
2 basic components
Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM)
2 Main Components
Ground Substance
Protein Fibers
Collagen Fibers
Elastic Fibers
Reticular Fibers
Interweave to form mesh
supports cells
spleen: help trap foreign substancds
stretch to 1.5 times their length - Distensibility
Return to resting - elasticity
resembles entwined pieces of steel cable
Appear White in tendons
Resistant to tension
3 Families of Macromolecules
Ions
Water
nutrients
ECF
Glycosaminoglycans (GAG's)
Proteoglycans
Bottle Brush Shape
ECM Firmer
Barrier to Diffusion of Substances
Glycoproteins
Cell-adhesion molecules (CAM)
Glue Cells to their place in ECM
Glue cells to each other
negative sugars in GAG attract Cations in ECM
Creates concentration gradient that causes Osmosis of water out of the cell & blood vessels
Water in ECM helps it resist compression
3 Functions
provides strength to resist ensile and compressive forces
holds cells in their proper place
regulates miosis and survival of cells within a tissue
Cells Related in Structure and function
4 Types of Tissues
Epithelial Tissue
Connective Tissue
Nervous Tissue
Muscle Tissue
