Title: Human Anatomy and Physiology: Chapter 3- Body Tissues
Description: These notes describe the different body tissues and their functions. The topics include but may not be limited to: Types of Tissues Characteristics of Tissues Classification of Tissues Types of Glands Functions of Tissues The notes include highlights and symbols to bring attention to specific important points. These notes were taken for a high school honor's course of Anatomy and Physiology. However, they contain many advanced college level topics. These notes are aimed for any student taking Anatomy and Physiology in high school/college or for those who are curious as to how the body works and are laid out simply so that anyone can understand them.

Special Characteristics of Epithelium
o 1
...
embranes have one free (unattached) surfaceapical
M
surface
▪ Exposed to body’s exterior or cavity of internal organ
o 3
...
Avascular has no blood supply
▪ Relies on diffusion from capillaries for nutrients/oxygen
o 5

Bone
▪ AKA “osseous tissue”
▫ Description
:
● Lacunae
Bone cells in cavities
● Surrounded by very hard matrix: Ca salts
and collagen fibers
▫ Function
: protect and support other body organs

▪ Description
:
▫ Collagen fibers
▪ Fibroblasts
fiber forming cells
▪ Location
: tendons (uscle to bone

), ligaments (
bone to
bone
), dermis of skin (lower layers)

Blood
▪ “Vascular tissue”
▪ Atypical connective tissue due to its main function:
▪ Made up of cells surrounding by nonliving matrix
plasma
▪ Fibers
: visible only during clotting
● ~ uscle Tissue
M
o Contracts (shorten) to produce movement
▪ Types of Muscle Tissue
:
▫ 1
...
Cardiac Muscle
● Muscle tissue found in the heart
(involuntary control)
● Contractions cause pumplike action,
propels blood through vessels
● Cells
: short, branching, uninucleate, and
have striations
o Tightly held together by gap junctions
at areas called:
intercalated disks
