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.
