Histology Overview w/ example slides/images

Epithelial

Tissue that covers the inside or outside of the body.

Lines exposed surfaces

Found: Skin (keratinized), esophagus, intestine lining

Connective tissue

Tissue that fills spaces, stores/transports, provides structure, binds things together.
Found: cartilage, ligament, bones, blood adipose, tendons, joint capsules

Muscle tissue

Contracts or Shortens with force and is responsible for movement.
3 Types:
Skeletal Muscle: voluntary/striated
Cardiac Muscle: involuntary / striated w/intercalated discs
Smooth Muscle: involuntary/ no striation

Nerve tissue

Conduct electrical signals called action potentials

Simple

Single layer of cells

Stratified

Two or more layers of cells

Pseudostratified epithelium

columnar epithelium, varies in height with nuclei at different levels above basal membrane

Squamous

Scale-like

Cuboidal

Cube-like

Columnar

Column-shaped

Transitional epithlium

Peculiar stratified squamous epithelium formed of rounded cells with the ability to slide over one another to allow the organ to be stretched.
