Overview of Histology: Study of Tissues and Organs
Histology : is the study of the tissues of the body and how
these tissues are arranged to constitute organs.
Tissues have two interacting components:
A.
Cells .
B.
Extracellular matrix (ECM).which is consist of many kinds of
macromolecules.
The (ECM) function :
1.
Supports the cells and the fluids that transports nutrients to
the cells .
2.
Carries away their catabolites and secretory products.
Despite its complexity, the human body is composed of only
four basic types of tissue:
1)
Epithelial tissue.
2)
Connective tissue.
3)
Muscular tissue.
4)
Nervous tissue.
1. Epithelial tissue
it is a tissue in which cells are bound tightly together
structurally and functionally to form a sheetlike or tubular
structure with little extracellular material between the cells
All epithelial cells in contact with connective tissue at basal
surfaces which referred as the
Basement membrane
which is
a thin extacellular layer of specialized proteins , its
components:
a.
Attach
epithelia to connective tissue.
b.
Regulate (filter)
substances passing from connective tissue
to epithelia.
c.
Guide
tissue during regeneration after injury.
1.
Covering.
2.
Lining.
3.
Protecting surfaces.
4.
Absorption.
Ex. Intestinal lining
5.
Secretion.
Ex. Parenchymal cells of glands
6.
Specific cells of certain epithelia may be contractile or
specialized sensory cells.
Ex1. Taste buds
Ex2. Olfactory epithelium
7.
Because epithelial cells line all external and internal
surfaces of the body, all substances that enter or leave
tissues and organs must cross an epithelium.
Ex. Epidermis
Histology involves studying the tissues of the body and how they form organs. Tissues consist of cells and extracellular matrix, with functions like support, nutrient transport, and waste removal. The human body comprises epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues, each with specific functions and structures. Epithelial tissue forms protective linings, aids in absorption and secretion, and plays crucial roles in sensory perception and regeneration. Understanding the basics of tissue types and functions is essential for comprehending the body's biological processes.
