Introduction
• Tissue:
▫ Def – cells organized into groups and layers all with
the same function
▫ Rely upon extracellular matrix (contains nutrients
needed for cells to thrive, transmits signals)
• Four types (Table 5.1):
▫
▫
▫
▫
1) Epithelial
2) Connective
3) Muscle
4) Nervous
Epithelial Tissue

diffusion of materials back

Glandular Epithelium
• Function: secrete and produce
• Endocrine vs Exocrine
▫ Endocrine- released into interstitial
fluid or bloodstream
▫ Exocrine- released into duct or
onto surface
• Serous vs Mucous
▫ Serous- found in cavities closed to
the inside
▫ Mucous- found in cavities with exposure to outside
Connective Tissue Cells
• Fibroblasts- fixed cells that secrete protein fibers
▫ Characteristics:
 Collagenous- thick threads with a high tensile strength but
only a little elasticity
 Elastic- thin, networked thread; not as strong but elastic
 Recticular- thin delicate threads; forms framework in some
organs
• Macrophages (histiocytes)- roaming cells that eat cellular
debris and foreign particles by phagocytosis
• Mast cells- fixed cells that release heparin and histamine
Loose Connective
• Form
▫ Scattered cells and fibers in
matrix
▫ Mainly fibroblasts
▫ Very low tensile strength
▫ Thin, delicate
• Function
▫ Binds organs together (especially
skin to underlying organs)
• Location
▫ Beneath many epithelial layers
including skin
▫ Between muscles
Adipose (fat)
• From
▫ Specialized form of loose
connective where fat cells store
enough fat to crowd other
things out of the tissue

▫ Storage of energy (in fat),
insulation, protection, cushion

between muscles, around
kidneys, behind eyes, surface of
heart, around joints

2. Mucous- release mucous and line cavities that open
to outside (oral/nasal cavity, digestive/respiratory/
urinary/reproductive tubes)
3. Cutaneous- skin
• Connective
