BASIC HISTOLOGY AND MORPHOLOGIC PATTERN OF CELLULAR INJURY Flashcards
branch of biology that studies the
microscopic anatomy of biological tissue
histology
counterpart of gross Anatomy
histology
3 germ layers
ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm
later on give rise to the nervous
system and the epidermal skin cells
ectoderm
give rise to the digestive system
and internal organs
endoderm
give rise to the muscle cells and
connective tissue in the body.
mesoderm
Two interacting components during development the two interacting components
become functionally specialized, they will later on give rise to fundamental types of tissues with characteristic structural features.
Cells and ECM
formed by an orderly combination of the
tissues and precise arrangement allows the
functioning of each organ and of the organism as a whole.
organ
produces the extracellular matrix
cells
produced by the cells; serves as support of the cells because they carry away the waste, carry away the secretory products as well as connect with the cell surface receptors
ECM
a group of cells of common origin and
common function.
tissue
Four Major Categories of Tissue
● Epithelial tissue
● Connective Tissue
● Muscle Tissue
● Nervous Tissue
cells that are taller than they are
wide
columnar
cells that change their shape
when the epithelium is stretched
transitional
Examples of Simple Squamous Epithelium
● Bowman’s capsule
● Endothelium of blood vessels
● Loop of Henle
● Alveoli of lungs
Example of Cuboidal
thyroid follicles and ducts of
glands
Example of Columnar
● Gallbladder (NONCILIATED)
● Uterine tube (CILIATED)
Ex of Stratified Squamous
- Epidermis of the skin (keratinized)
● Vagina (Non-keratinized)
● Esophagus (Non-keratinized)
● Cervix (Non-keratinized)
ex of stratified cuboidal
sweat glands
ex of stratified columnar
male urethra
example of stratified transitional
Urinary tract, specifically in the urinary
bladder
can be seen in female reproductive; tract (non-ciliated), and trachea (ciliated)
Pseudostratified
glands with ducts
Exocrine
can be seen in Prostate and Salivary gland
Tubulo-acinar
