Tissues(Human)
Anatomy and Physiology

3.
Key Terms
• Histology:
• the study of tissues.
• Tissues:
• groups of cells which are similar in
structure and which perform common
or related functions.

4.
Four Basic Kinds of Tissues
•Epithelial Tissue
•Connective Tissue
•Muscle Tissue
•Nervous Tissue

5.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
• Epithelial Tissue Locations:
• Covers the body
• Lines the cavities, tubes, ducts and blood vessels inside the body
• Covers the organs inside body cavities
• Epithelial Tissue Functions:
• Protection from physical & chemical injury,
• Protection against microbial invasion,
• Contains receptors which respond to stimuli,
• Filters, secretes & reabsorbs materials and
• Secretes serous fluids to lubricate structures.

6.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
• Connective Tissue:
• Most abundant & widely distributed tissue
• Connective Tissue Functions:
• Connects, binds and supports structures,
• Tendons, ligaments, etc.
• Protects & cushions organs and tissues,
• Insulates (fat) and
• Transports substances (blood).

7.
MUSCLE TISSUE
• Muscle Tissue:
• Associated with the bones of the skeleton, the heart and in the walls
of the hollow organs of the body.
• Muscle Tissue Functions:
• Movement
• Locomotion
• Maintains posture
• Produces heat
• Facial expressions
• Pumps blood
• Peristalsis

8.
NERVOUS TISSUE
• Nervous Tissue:
• Main component of the nervous system,
ie., brain, spinal cord & nerves.
• Nervous Tissue Functions:
• Regulates & controls body functions
• Generates & transmits nerve impulses
• Supports, insulates and protects impulse generating neurons.

9.
Identify the following cell organelles
• Cell Organelles
• cell membrane
• cytoplasm
• nucleus
• nuclear membrane
• nucleolus
• chromosomes
• chromatin

10.
Identify the five stages of mitosis
• Stages of Mitosis, or the Cell Cycle:
• interphase
• prophase
• metaphase
• anaphase
• telophase

11.
Interphase
• Metabolic phase
• Cell growth
• DNA replication
• Centriole replication
• Protein Synthesis
• Visible Nucleus &
nuclear membrane
• Visible nucleoli
• Chromatin

12.
Prophase
• Nuclear membrane
disappears
• Nucleoli disappear
• Chromsomes appear
• Centrioles move to
opposite sides of cell
• Spindle fibers from
centrioles connect with
chromosomes

13.
Metaphase
• Chromosomes line up on
equator of the cell

14.
Anaphase
• Chromatids from each
chromosome separate &
are pulled to opposite
sides of the cell.

15.
Telophase
• Chromatids reach
extremes of cell
 Nuclear membraneNuclear membrane
reappears around eachreappears around each
chromatid clusterchromatid cluster
 Nucleoli reappearNucleoli reappear
 Cell plate appearsCell plate appears
between nucleibetween nuclei
 Cytokinesis occursCytokinesis occurs

16.
• Specific tissue types & representative cell types we will
review:
• EPITHELIAL
• Squamous
• Cuboidal
• Columnar
• CONNECTIVE
• Adipose
• Bone
• Hyaline cartilage
• MUSCLE
• NERVOUS

• Column shaped (long &
narrow)
• Line digestive tract where
