Human Tissues - Lesson 2

-




This lesson is about human tissues. To do a specialized activity, same cells combine together to form a tissue . Study of tissues is called Histology, and one who specialized in Histology is called Histologist.

There are different kinds of tissues in our body to perform different functions .Similar cells combine together to form a tissue.

Different kinds of tissues:

1. Nerve tissue
2. Connective tissue
3. Muscle tissue
4. Epithelial tissue

Now we study about all human tissues one by one

1.Nerve tissue: Nerve tissues are combination of nerve cells as we have already studied the main function of nerve cells is conduction of impulses through out the body, and so the job of nerve tissue is also the conduction of impulses.

2. Connective tissue: The examples for Connective tissues are Adipose tissue, Cartilage and bone. Cartilage is an elastic and fibrous tissue attached to bones.

3.Muscle tissue: There are two types of Muscle tissues in our body such as Voluntary muscles and Involuntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are found in legs and arms and in the parts of the body where the movement is voluntary. Involuntary muscles are found in our body where the movement is involuntary or the movement is not in our conscious control, such as heart and digestive system. Cardiac muscle is a best example for an involuntary muscle tissue.

4. Epithelial tissue: These tissues are placed through out the body as a covering or lining or internal organs in exocrine and endocrine glands as well as an external covering covers the body as skin.  Understood well about human tissues?...now we move on to the next lesson of BODY ORGANS...come on.

Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions - Lesson 5

-
Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
