Document Summary

Dr. joanne savory and dr. m zeroual: structural organization of the human body pt 2 (tissues) Tissues: groups of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common or related function. 4 primary tissues that interweave to form the fabric" of the body: epithelial (covers), connective (supports), nervous (controls), and muscle (produces movement) tissue. Studies of tissues and their cellular organization is histology: knowing the differences between normal and abnormal tissue is the first step to diagnosis and treatment of patients. Located above a connective tissue layer ( epi"= above/on top); two types: covering & lining found on the inside of hollow organs and the outside of all organs. Lines heart, kidney: glandular lines the cavities, tubes, ducts, and blood vessels inside the body. Special characteristics of epithelium: polarity (apical-basal polarity) Basal surface lower attached: basal lamina adjacent to basal surface; thin supporting sheet. Non cellular, consists primarily of glycoproteins and collagen.
