interphalangeal
articulation between phalanges
epithelial
tissue composed of layers of closely spaced cells that cover organ surfaces, form glands, and serve for protection, secretion and absorption
connective
tissue with more matrix than cell volume, often specialized to support, bind, and protect organs
nervous
tissue containing excitable cells specialized for rapid transmission of coded information to other cells
muscular
tissue composed of elongated, excitable muscle cells specialized for contraction
locations of epithelial tissue
epidermis, inner lining of digestive tract, liver and other glands
locations of connective tissue
tendons and ligaments, cartilage and bone, blood
locations of nervous tissue
brain, spinal cord, nerves
locations of muscular tissue
skeletal muscles, heart, walls of viscera
loose connective tissues
areolar and reticular, sometimes adipose
areolar tissue
underlies epithelia, including subcutaneous tissue;
reticular tissue
found within some tissue of the immune system such as the spleen and lymph nodes
areolar tissue microscopic appearance
loose arrangement of collagenous and elastic fibers; scattered cells of various types; abundant ground substance; numerous blood vessels
reticular tissue microscopic appearance
loose network of reticular fibers and cells, infiltrated with numerous leukocytes, especially lymphocytes
adipose connective tissue microscopic appearance
subcutaneous layers associated with skin and breast tissue; packaging for various organs; capillaries and blood vessels; one large vacuole of triglycerides; nucleus proportionally small
adipose connective tissue appearance
dominated by adipocytes - large, empty-looking cells with thin margins; tissue sections often very pale because of scarcity of stained cytoplasm; adipocytes shrunken; nucleus pressed against plasma membrane; blood vessels present
hyaline cartilage microscope appearance
clear, glassy matrix, often stained light blue or pink in tissue sections; fine, dispersed collagen fibers, not usually visible; chondrocytes enclosed in lacunae, often in small clusters of three or four cells; usually covered by perichondrium
elastic cartilage microscopic appearance
elastic fibers form weblike mesh amid lacunae; always covered by perichondrium
fibrocartilage microscopic appearance
parallel collagen fibers similar to those of tendon; rows of chondrocytes in lacunae between collagen fibers; NEVER has a perichondrium
where is hyaline cartilage found?
articular cartilage at synovial joints; trachea and bronchi; larynx; costal cartilage
perichondrium
composed of dense irregular connective tissue
where is fibrocartilage found?
pubic symphysis; intervertebral discs; menisci
