Seems pretty simple right?

Hold that thought…

cause here we go.

Key thing to remember “FORM fits the FORM fits the FUNCTION”FUNCTION”

Layers Layers

Simple:Simple: A layer a single cell thick

Stratified:Stratified: Many layers thick

Shapes Shapes “Squamous” (means Scale) = Flat and Thin

Cuboidal (sounds like “Cube” right?) = Cube shaped Columnar (Looks like a “Pillar” right?) = Rectangular in shape

Tissues: Connective Tissues: Connective Defining element: Extracellular Extracellular matrixmatrix = a secretion of structureless ground substances and fibers in-between cells Includes Includes

Bone

Cartilage

Tendons and ligaments

Adipose (Butts and breasts)

Basement Membranes (what holds your skin on to your body)

Tissues: Connective Tissues: Connective Here we see the Matrix Matrix of

Bone Bone

Hyaline Hyaline CartilageCartilage

Found in the sternum connecting the ribs

Tissues: Connective Tissues: Connective FibersFibers also make up a good portion of Connective Tissue.

Example: Collagen Fibers Lets not forget our friend

BloodBlood (Blood Plasma =matrix) He counts too!

Tissues: Muscles Tissues: Muscles

Only 33 kinds (Woo Hoo!!)

Skeletal:Skeletal: Multinucleated, long fibers, Striated & Voluntary

Smooth:Smooth: (makes up hollow organs like the stomach, intestines and blood vessels)

Single nucleated, non-striated Moves things with peristalsis (think of squeezing a tube of toothpaste) & Involuntary

Tissues: Muscles Tissues: Muscles Cardiac Muscle:

Short and Short and BranchedBranched

Connected together by Intercalated discsIntercalated discs (they contain Gap Junctions to send messages to the next muscle cell)

*Why is this important?

Mono-nucleated

Involuntary

Tissues: Nervous Tissues: Nervous NeuronsNeurons are the cell bodies of the Nerve cells

Conduct electrochemicalelectrochemical impulses across the body

They can have extensions that go as long as 3 ft long in some parts of the body!
