MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoGiant Multipolar Neuron-
A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These processes are projections from the neuron cell body.
-
These neurons are able to receive impulses from multiple neurons via dendrites. The dendrites transmit the signals through the neuron via an electrical signal that is spread down the axon. Bipolar neurons: These neurons send signals and receive information from the world

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoHyaline Cartilage-
Where bone ends meet to form a joint, they are covered by hyaline cartilage. This cartilage appears bluish white and glistening in a normal healthy joint. Its primary function is to provide some cushioning and minimize friction between the bone ends.
-
Another example of hyaline cartilage is the tissue found in the walls of the respiratory tract. This includes the bronchi, the nose, the rings of the trachea, and the tips of the ribs

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoElastic Cartilage-
Elastic cartilage , sometimes referred to as yellow fibrocartilage, is a type of cartilage that provides both strength and elasticity to certain parts of the body, such as the ears. Within the outer ear, it provides the skeletal basis of the pinna, as well as the lateral region of the external auditory meatus.
-
Elastic cartilage provides strength, and elasticity, and maintains the shape of certain structure such as the external ear. It has a perichondrium.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoFibrocartilage-
Fibrocartilage is the tough, very strong tissue found predominantly in the intervertebral disks and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons; it is similar to other fibrous tissues but contains cartilage ground substance and chondrocytes.
-
Fibrocartilage provides the tough material of the intervertebral discs; the intraarticular cartilages of the knee, wrist and temporo-mandibular joints; the articular cartilage of the temporo-mandibular joint and of the joint between the clavicle and the sternum.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoCollagenous Connective Tissue
-
Collagenous connective tissue is divided into two types, based upon the ratio of collagen fibers to ground substance: Loose (areolar connective tissue) is the most abundant form of collagenous connective tissue. It occurs in small, elongated bundles separated by regions that contain ground substance.
-
Collagen fibers, while flexible, have great tensile strength, resist stretching, and give ligaments and tendons their characteristic resilience and strength. These fibers hold connective tissues together, even during the movement of the body.

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoAreolar Connective Tissue-
Areolar connective tissue is the type of tissue which connects and surrounds different organs in the human body. The important function of this type of tissue is that it provides nutrition to the cells and also acts as a cushion to protect the organs from various external forces.
-
The areolar tissue is found beneath the dermis layer and is also underneath the epithelial tissue of all the body systems that have external openings.
-
Areolar connective tissue is a tough and flexible tissue that is the most abundant form of connective tissue in vertebrate organisms

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoTransitional Epithelium-
Transitional epithelium also known as urothelium is a type of stratified epithelium. Transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that changes shape in response to stretching (stretchable epithelium). The transitional epithelium usually appears cuboidal when relaxed and squamous when stretched.
-
Due to its location in the excretory system, especially in the ureters and urinary bladder, one of the primary functions of this tissue is to be an extremely effective permeability barrier, impenetrable to water and most small molecules

MT30-Histology Art AB 4 years agoSkeletal Muscle Tissue-
Skeletal muscle is one of the three significant muscle tissues in the human body. Each skeletal muscle consists of thousands of muscle fibers wrapped together by connective tissue sheaths. The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi.
-
Skeletal muscles contain connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. There are three layers of connective tissue: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium. Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into groups called fascicles. Blood vessels and nerves enter the connective tissue and branch in the cell
-
Four characteristics define skeletal muscle tissue cells: they are voluntary, striated, not branched, and multinucleated. Skeletal muscle tissue is the only muscle tissue under the direct conscious control of the cerebral cortex of the brain, giving it the designation of being voluntary muscle
