MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoTransitional Epithelium (Epithelial Tissues )-
Urothelium, or transitional epithelium, is a form of stratified epithelium. Transitional epithelium is a form of tissue that responds to strain by changing shape (stretchable epithelium). When relaxed, the transitional epithelium appears cuboidal, and when stretched, it appears squamous.
-
One of the principal purposes of this tissue is to act as an exceptionally effective permeability barrier, impenetrable to water and most tiny molecules, due to its placement in the excretory system, particularly in the ureters and urinary bladder.
-
It’s also known as urothelium because it’s almost entirely located in the bladder, ureters, and urethra.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoCollagenous Connective Tissue (Connective Tissue)-
Collagen fibers, while flexible, have high tensile strength, resist stretching, and provide the distinctive resilience and strength of ligaments and tendons. These fibers keep connective tissues together even while the body is moving.
-
Collagen fibers are structural elements that transfer stresses, store energy, and dissipate energy in vertebrate tissues. Collagen fibers have a hierarchical structure that includes collagen molecules, microfibrils, fibrils, fibers, and fascicles, and they limit the deformation of tendon and other load-bearing tissues.
-
Collagenous fibers are found in all types of connective tissue and are made up of type I, II, or III collagen. The ratio of collagen fibers to ground substance divides…
-
Tendons are an example of regular dense connective tissue, while the dermis is an example of irregular dense connective tissue.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoHyaline Cartilage (Connective Tissue)-
The glassy (hyaline) and translucent cartilage seen on numerous joint surfaces is known as hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartilage can also be found in the ribs, nose,…
-
Externally, hyaline cartilage is protected by a fibrous membrane called the perichondrium, or synovial membrane when it runs along articulating surfaces. This membrane contains capillaries that deliver nutrition to the cartilage via diffusion.
-
Type II collagen and chondroitin sulphate are the main components of hyaline cartilage matrix, which are also found in elastic cartilage.
-
On the sternal ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones, hyaline cartilage can be found. It provides the buildings a firm but flexible appearance. Collagen fibers provide strength to such structures and joints, but also limit mobility and flexibility.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoGiant Multipolar Neuron (Nerve Tissue)-
The cell bodies of multipolar neurons have three or more processes linked to them. The axon is a process that conveys electrochemical impulses (action potentials) between cells. Dendrites are the remaining processes.
-
Multipolar neurons’ receptive zone is made up of the cell body and dendrites. The most frequent form of neuron is the multipolar neuron. They are found in the autonomic ganglia and the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
-
Dendrites in multipolar neurons allow them to accept impulses from many neurons. Dendrites send messages across the neuron by an electrical signal that passes down the axon. Motor neurons feature the most common sort of nerve cell body plan: they are multipolar, having one axon and multiple dendrites.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoCardiac Muscle Tissue (Muscle Tissue)-
In vertebrates, cardiac muscle, commonly known as myocardium, is one of three major muscle groups found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, has contractile units known as sarcomeres; however, this feature also separates it from smooth muscle, the third muscle type.
-
Cardiac muscle is distinguished from skeletal muscle by its regular contractions and lack of voluntary control. The sinoatrial node of the heart, which functions as the heart’s pacemaker, controls the rhythmic contraction of cardiac muscle.
-
The heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscle cells (or myocardium). The contractility of the heart, which is the foundation for its pumping function, and the rhythmicity of the contraction are two of its most notable qualities.
-
The cardiac output (the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute) changes to fulfill the metabolic needs of peripheral tissues like skeletal muscles, kidneys, brain, skin, liver, heart, and gastrointestinal system.
-
In the heart, cardiac muscle cells form a highly branching cellular network. They are structured into layers of myocardial tissue that wrap around the chambers of the heart and are joined end to end by intercalated disks.
-
Individual cardiac muscle cells contract, producing force and shortening in these bands of muscle, resulting in a reduction in heart chamber size and blood ejection into the pulmonary and systemic veins.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoSkeletal Muscle Tissue (Muscle Tissue)-
Skeletal muscle makes up about 40% of the body’s total mass and is the most widespread and widely distributed muscle tissue.
-
It is located in the eyes, throat, diaphragm, and anus and creates all of the skeletal muscles, such as the biceps brachii and gluteus maximus.
-
Skeletal muscle tissue cells have four characteristics: they are voluntary, striated, non-branched, and multinucleated.
-
Skeletal muscle tissue is the only muscle tissue that is controlled directly by the cerebral cortex of the brain, earning it the title of voluntary muscle.
-
Skeletal muscle tissue is responsible for all conscious body movements, including limb movement, facial expressions, eye movements, and swallowing. As a consequence of cellular metabolism, skeletal muscle contractions also produce the majority of the body’s heat.
-
Skeletal muscle cells are also distinct from other muscle tissues due to their shape. During fetal development, skeletal muscle cells are formed by the union of several smaller cells, resulting in long, straight muscle fibers with many nuclei.
-
Skeletal muscle cells display a striped, or striated, pattern of light and dark regions when examined under a microscope. The orderly organization of actin and myosin proteins within cells into structures known as myofibrils causes these stripes.
-
The skeletal muscles’ remarkable strength and capacity to pull with incredible force and push the body is due to myofibrils.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months agoSmooth Muscle Tissue (Muscle Tissue)-
Smooth muscle, also known as involuntary muscle, is a type of muscle that has no cross stripes when examined under a microscope. It is made up of slender spindle-shaped cells with a single nucleus in the center.
-
Unlike striated muscle, smooth muscular tissue contracts gently and automatically. Much of the musculature of internal organs and the digestive system is made up of it.
-
Smooth muscle cells measure 3-10 m in thickness and 20-200 m in length. The cytoplasm is predominantly made up of myofilaments and is uniformly eosinophilic. During contraction, the nucleus, which is positioned in the core, takes on a cigar-like shape.
-
Caveolae are small pouch-like invaginations in the cytoplasm formed by the cell membrane, which act similarly to T-tubules in the skeletal muscle. A basal lamina anchors smooth muscle cells to the surrounding connective tissue.
-
Smooth muscle fibers are grouped together in branching bundles. These bundles, unlike skeletal muscle fibers, are not precisely parallel and organized, but rather form a complicated structure. As a result, the cells can contract significantly more forcefully than striated muscle.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years, 2 months ago-
1. Salivary glands – These are lined by a simple cuboidal epithelium and are surrounded by myoepithelial cell bodies, and their processes typically are found along the basal surface of the duct. The important functions of the simple cuboidal epithelium are secretion and absorption.
-
2. Pharynx – The pharynx is composed of mucous membrane, submucosal connective tissue, glands, lymphoid tissue, muscle and an outermost adventitial coating. The pharynx chamber serves both respiratory and digestive functions. Thick fibers of muscle and connective tissue attach the pharynx to the base of the skull and surrounding structures.
-
3. Esophagus – The esophageal lining is protected by a stratified squamous epithelium. Because this epithelium is normally not exposed to dryness or to abrasion, it is non-keratinized.Scattered submucosal mucous glands provide lubrication. A well-developed muscularis provides peristaltic propulsion of food.
-
4. Stomach – The stomach and intestines have a thin simple columnar epithelial layer for secretion and absorption. The submucosa is a thick layer of loose connective tissue that surrounds the mucosa. This layer also contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. Glands may be embedded in this layer.
-
5. Small intestine – The small intestine follows the general structure of the digestive tract in that the wall has a mucosa with simple columnar epithelium, submucosa, smooth muscle with inner circular and outer longitudinal layers, and serosa.
-
6. Large intestine – The four (4) layers of the large intestine from the lumen outward are the mucosa, submucosa, muscular layer, and serosa. The muscular layer is made up of two (2) layers of smooth muscle, the inner, circular layer, and the outer, longitudinal layer. These layers contribute to the motility of the large intestine.

8. Liver – The liver has a thin capsule of dense connective tissue, and a visceral (inferior) layer of peritoneal mesothelium, and is divided into left and right…
-
9. Gallbladder – The gallbladder is primarily an absorptive epithelium that functions to concentrate sodium salts of bile acids by near-isotonic fluid absorption from the gallbladder lumen.
-
10. Pancreas – It is lined with simple cuboidal epithelium and its important functions are secretion and absorption.The remaining tissue of the pancreas consists of endocrine cells called islets of Langerhans. These clusters of cells look like grapes and produce hormones that regulate blood sugar and regulate pancreatic secretions.
