Foundations: Tissues and Early Embryology

Introduction

Atoms make up molecules

Molecules make up cells

Cells make up tissues

Tissues make up organs

Organs make up organ systems

Organ systems make up organisms

Epithelial Tissue

Modes of Secretion

Holocrine Secretion

Secretions released upon bursting of the glandular cells

Connective Tissues

All connective tissues have three main components:

Specialized cells

Extracellular protein fibers

Matrix

The matrix is the collective term for the extracellular component of any connective tissue that is made of protein fibers and the ground substance

Connective Tissues

Functions of Connective Tissue

The Connective Tissue Framework of the Body

Connective tissue creates the internal framework of the body

Layers of connective tissue connect organs with the rest of the body

Layers of connective tissue are called fascia

Superficial fascia

Deep fascia

Subserous fascia

Muscle Tissue

Three types of muscle tissue

Skeletal muscle

Has striations

Smooth muscle

Ends of the cells are pointy

Cardiac muscle

Has intercalated discs

Muscle Tissue

Skeletal muscle

Muscles that move the skeleton

Voluntary control

Smooth muscle

Muscles that line the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and blood vessels

Involuntary control

Cardiac muscle

Found in the myometrium of the heart

Muscles cells that contract rhythmically

Neural Tissue

Neural Tissue

Specialized to conduct electrical signals through the body

Two types of neural cells

Neurons are the cells that actually transmit the impulse

Neuroglia are the supporting cells of the neural tissue; these cells protect the neurons

Tissues, Nutrition, and Aging

Repair and maintenance become less efficient as one ages

Hormonal changes and lifestyle changes also affect the functioning of tissues

Epithelia become thinner and connective tissues become fragile

Cardiac muscle cells and neural tissue cannot regenerate; therefore, relatively minor damage adds up over time, sometimes causing severe health issues

Embryology Summary

A zygote multiplies to form a ball of cells

The ball of cells develops into a hollow ball (day 6)

Blastocyst

The blastocyst forms two layers of cells

Trophoblast

The two layers of cells develop the four tissues of the body

Embryology Summary

Epithelial tissue develops to form:

Functional epithelial linings

Exocrine cells

Endocrine cells

Embryology Summary

Origins of Connective Tissues

Endoderm forms mesenchyme

Mesenchyme differentiates to form the various connective tissue categories

Embryology Summary

Development of Organ Systems

An ectoderm layer and endoderm layer form

Cells migrate between those two layers forming a mesoderm

Organs begin to develop around day 28
