Basic Histology

Histology is the microscopic study of cells, tissues, and organs. The basic unit of structure and function is the cell, which consists of a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm. There are two main types of cells - eukaryotic cells, which contain organelles and a nucleus, and prokaryotic cells, which lack true nuclei. The four main types of tissues are epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues. Epithelial tissues cover surfaces and line organs. They are avascular and come in several forms depending on cell shape and layering. Connective tissues are made of cells separated by non-living material and connect various structures. They include blood, bone, cartilage, and areolae tissue.

Basic histology - study of microanatomy of cells, tissue, - capsule - outer stick protective layer

organ - cell wall - rigid structure which helps the bacterium


Histology - microscopic counterpart, which look larger maintain its shape
structures without microscope - plasma membrane - separate the cell from the
Histopathology - includes the microscope examination environment
Histology - greek word means "histos" means tissue and - mesosome - infolding of plasma membrane to aid in
"logos" to study. compartmentalization
Cell - means "cella'c small room. Basic structural, - nucleoid - region where naked DNA is found
functional "building block of life" - cytoplasm - semi fluid cell interior

Matthias Jakob Schcleiden and Theodore Schwann - Cell TISSUES:


Theory 4 CATEGORIES OF TISSUES
1. Epithelial tissues - derived from all the 3 germ layers
- cell that are fundamental unit, comes from pre- 2. Connective tissues from mesoderm
existing cells 3. Muscular tissues from mesoderm
- all cells contains hereditary information 4. Nervous tissues from ectoderm
2 TYPES OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE
EUKARYOTIC CELL - covering epithelium - defense, protects
Contain nucelus, organells and plasma membrane (can - glandular epithelium - secretion
go to mitosis) EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Cystoskeleton - provides support for the cell - Avascular
- microfilaments (action of myosin solid protein which is - have basement membrane
assemble at one end and dissambled at the other end. - the covering of lining of surface
- intermediate filaments (rope like fibrous proteins, - regenerative
PROVIDE STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT)
- microtubules (hollow tubes tubulin (a globular
protein), MAINTAIN CELL SHAPE)
Cillia - short, numerous, complex COVERING EPITHELIUM
Flagella - longer, fewer, less complex according to shape
Nucleus - double membrane with pores - squamous - flattened cells
•Nucleur matrix - protein containing fibilar network - cuboidal - cube like
•Nucleoplasm - fluid substance in which the solutes of - columnar - taller than the width
the nucleus are dissolved - transitional - change shape when stretend
•Chromosome - protein and DNA complexes according to cellular arrangement
- simple - mono bilayer of cells
Endoplasmic Reticulum - pseudostratified - appears more than 1 layer but not
- Rough ER has ribosomes and is involved in secreted - stratified - more than 1 layer
protein synthesis
- Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is in the membrane SIMPLE SQUAMOUS (BLLE)
lipid synthesis Bowman capsule
Golgi Apparatus - form secretory vesicles to transport Loop of Henle
proteins to different parts of the cell Lung Alveoli
Lysosome - found only in animal cell, use in hydrolytic Endothelium of blood vessels
breakdown of macromolecules
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL (DW)
Peroxisome - eukaryotic organelle that degrades fatty Ducts of gland
acids and amino acids Wall of thyroid follicle
Ribosomes - involved in protein synthesis STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS (SE)
Skin (keratinized)
Esophagus, vagina (non-keratinized)
PROKARYOTIC CELL
that do not have true nucleus or membrane (ex. STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL
Bacteria) ducts of sweat gland
- wharton jelly (acid mucopolysaccaride)
STRATIFIED COLUMNAR - Bone Marrow
male urethra - Lymph node (reticular)
- Embryo (messenchyme)
TRANSITIONAL - hypodermis
urinary tract dense connective tissue
- Dermis
PSEUDO STRATIFIED COLUMNAR - capsule of organs
female reproductive (non-cilliated) - tendons
trachea (cilliated)
epididymis
SPECIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
cartilage
- hyaline - trachea
- fibrous - intervertebral discs
GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM - elastic - ear epiglottis
exocrine •Blood, lymph, hematopoietic tissue
- with ducts bone
- tubular - cancellous/spongy/tubercular - epiphysus, ends of
- acinar long bones
- tubulo-acinar - compact/cortical - diaphysics, shaft

DEPOSITS FOUND IN CONNECTIVE TISSUE


Endocrine fibrin
- ductless - early: yellow ; old: blue
- direct into the blood stream - mallory's P
- hosphotunastic acid and hematoxylin
METHODS OF SECRETION - lendrums
Merocrine - markuscarlet blue
- no loss of cytoplasm fibrinoid
- goblet cells - necrotizing vasculitis
- sweat glands - staining reaction identical to fibrin
Holocrine - mixtures of exudates and altered cytoplasmic
- complete breakdown of cells constituents
- sebaceous glands hyaline
Apocrine degenerated collagen
- with cytoplasmic Hypertension
- milk secretion Atheroma
Diabetic kidney
CONNECTIVE TISSUE (collagen - major ingredients in all amyloid
connective tissues) TB, lepros, osteomyelitis
- blood stains for amyloid
- blood carrying tissue - congo red
STAINS - meta chromatic red
• van- giesons stain - thioflacine
• Massons trichome
• Malloys anihine blue MUSCLE TISSUE
• azocarmine stain • smooth - involuntary, non-stratiated
• krajian aniline blue Ex. Intestines and blood vessels
• skeletal - stratiated, voluntary
Ex. Skeletal muscle
GENERAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE • cardiac - striated,
