Histology Notes Prelims
1. Ectoderm > teeth, bones liquid or solvent: Water -> Osmosis (movement of
2. Mesoderm -> muscles, connective tissue water from low concentration of solute (NaCI) to high
3. Endoderm -> Gonads, GIT, Lungs conc. of solute
CELLS
TISSUE
• collection of cells
• Histology
CELLS
Ex. Muscular tissues -> contract -> body
movement/locomotion Main parts:
Function:
SYSTEM
collection of organs a. barrier for unwanted substances ->microbes,
toxic waste substances
Ex. Digestive/Alimentary/Gastrointestinal system ->
b. entrance of food nutrients ->carbohydrates,
digestive foods (chyme) and absorption of chyme
proteins, fats/lipids (endocytosis) & oxygen
(CHO,
(simple diffusion) and exit of waste products
(exocytosis) and carbon dioxide (simple • collections of specialized cells united in the
diffusion) performance of specific functions
❖ 3 types of permeability of cell membrane: will • epithelial cells are connected together by
allow water to pass into and out of cell substance presumed to be secretions of the
a. permeable -> allow both solutes and solvent cells themselves called "intercellular
b. semi- permeable -> ONLY selective solutes cement substance"
(organic food nutrients eg, CHO, CHON, FATs)
& water can pass the cell membrane Histogenesis- tissue origin and development
c. impermeable -> no solute can pass and Histology -study of tissue
ONLY water can pass
*Endothelium
• when seen in blood vessels (artery, capillary,
vein) & lymphatic vessels.
• Present in cornea.
*Mesothelium
• when seen in serous membrane -> Pleura,
Pericardium, Peritoneum
Function of simple squamous epithelium: for absorption of fluid and nutrients-seen in
• passive transport of fluids, nutrients, or digestive organs
metabolites across the capillaries or gases • secretory (mucous) cells - found in the
(02 & CO2) across the alveoli of the lungs intestines, trachea & bronchi (has cilia – out
movement )
2. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
• cells have same height and width PLAIN SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM cells
• seen in renal tubule in capillary.
- are cylindrical-shape presenting
- Left ureter
polygonal or hexagonal outlines
Function of simple cuboidal epithelium: - shows phenomenon of "polarity"
• secretory and absorptive functions due to (difference in structure between the
brush border (microvilli) - found at renal proximal and distal poles of the cel).
tubules of nephrons. Distal end may shows:
a. finger-like (microvilli) or hair-like
ex. Nephrons – has a line of simple cuboidal projections (cilia)
epithelium. b. thickened cell membrane (crista)
c. hardened secretions on cell
membrane (cuticle)
Parts of Nephrons
Organs: stomach, small and large intestines (colon) -
1. Glomeruli > absorption with microvilli (chyme)
- has network of capillaries -> filter plasma
-> will be converted to Urine at renal ❖ Absorption of substances in the chyme at GIT
tubules due to presence of Microvilli:
- enclose Bowman's capsule A. Mouth
2. Renal tubules -> simple cuboidal epithelium - drugs (sublingual), electrolytes, water
a. Proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) *1st digestion of foods at mouth (saliva->
b. loop of Henle salivary amylase or Ptyalin -> partially digest CHO)
- descending loop
- ascending loop B. stomach
c. Distal convoluted tubules (DCT) - drugs (swallow), electrolytes, water
d. Collecting tubule/duct *2nd digestion of foods at mouth due to
gastric HCI partially digest food nutrient
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR): 125ml/min
2. arrangement of cells
a. Simple or non-stratified
b. Complex or stratified
