Animal Tissues Lab Slides

This document provides information about different types of tissues found in the body, including nerve tissue, connective tissue, and muscle tissue. It describes the main cell types and functions of nerve tissue, such as neurons and neuroglia. It also summarizes the different types of connective tissue like loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, adipose tissue, blood, cartilage, and bone. Finally, it outlines the three types of muscle tissue - smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle - and compares their characteristics.

Animal Tissues

Lab Exercise 10
Histology: Study and classification of cells and tissues

Goal: From the image on the slide, be able to:


1. Identify the tissue type
2. Name the function of the tissue
3. Give an examples of the tissue
4. Location of tissues in the body
Nerve Tissue

Cells include:
neurons
supporting cells (neuroglia)

Most neurons consist of three parts


• Cell body – contains the nucleus
• Dendrites – highly branched extensions
• Conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body
•Axon – single cytoplasmic extension
• Conducts impulses away from cell body
Nerve Tissue

Neuroglia

• Do not conduct electrical impulses


• Support and insulate neurons and eliminate foreign
materials in and around neurons
• Associate with axons to form an insulating cover called
the myelin sheath
• Gaps in the myelin sheath (nodes of Ranvier) are involved
in acceleration of impulses

Connective tissue
• Functions:
• Fills spaces in the body
• Protects organs
• Provides structural support
• All have abundant
extracellular matrix material
Loose connective tissue keeps bodies together

Loose connective
tissue holds
organs in place
and attaches
epithelial tissues
to other tissues.
It is found
• Under skin
• Between organs

Figure 23.3
Dense connective tissue keeps bodies together

Dense connective
tissue consists of
cells in a dense
matrix of protein
fibers.
It connects muscle
to bone and bone
to bone.
• Tendons
• Ligaments

Figure 23.3
Adipose tissue keeps the fat together

Adipose tissue is
fat cells in a
minimal
extracellular
matrix. It stores
fat for energy
and insulation.
• Beneath skin
• Between muscles
• Around heart
• Around joints
Figure 23.3
Blood connective tissue is for transport

Blood consists of
red blood cells,
white blood cells,
and platelets in a
liquid matrix
(plasma). It
transports gases,
hormones, wastes,
and nutrients.
Blood is found
inside blood vessels.

Figure 23.3
Cartilage connective tissue supports the body

Cartilage consists of
cells in a matrix of
fine collagen fibers.
It provides flexible
support in
• Ears
• Joints
• Bone ends
• Respiratory tract

Figure 23.3
Bone connective tissue supports the body

Bone consists of
cells in a matrix of
collagen and
minerals.
Mineralization
makes the bone
very solid.
It provides firm
support in the
skeleton.

Figure 23.3
Muscle cells can contract
• Muscles are associated with movement
• Consists of cells that contract when electrically
stimulated
• Muscle cells have many mitochondria, so they can
produce lots of ATP to power muscle contractions
• Three kinds of muscle: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac
TYPE Striations Voluntary or Involuntary Nuclei/cell Function
Skeletal + V multiple Movement of body
Cardiac + I 1 Movement of blood;
heartbeat
Smooth - I 1 Movement of
substances

Part 2: Connective Tissue Slides: (see p. 115 for structures)


-Adipose Tissue
-Hyaline Cartilage
-Bone (also look at model)
-Human Blood (also look at model)
-Frog Blood (note differences between frog and human blood)

Part 3: Muscle Tissue (p. 116)


-Mammal muscle types slide: Look at all 3 muscle types
-Be able to distinguish between the 3 and identify structures:
-Nucleus, striations, intercalated discs (cardiac only)
