Derived from all germ layers
Cuboidal
Columnar
•Irregularlyflattened
cells with tapered
edges
•Clear
cytoplasm and
eccentric oval nucleus
•Found in linings of
lungs, capillary walls
and blood vessels
•Also
in cheek cells
(buccal mucosa)
•Cellsroughly
hexagonal I shape
with nucleus at the
center
•Found in kidney
tubules as well as
lumen of small ducts
such as bile duct
•Resembles
cuboidal cells
when viewed
from the surface
•Appear taller
than broader
(rectangular)
with nucleus
near the base
•Found in
gallbladder,
urinary papilla,
stomach and
intestinal lining
Simple
Stratified
Pseudo
stratified
Transitional
Derived from embryonic mesoderm
3 basic elements
› Cells
› Intercellular substances (ground matrix)
› Fibers
Binds, anchors and supports body parts
› Amorphous in appearance
Collagen fibers
Reticular fibers
Elastic fibers
Most common type
•Clear homogenous
matrix
•Chondrocytes are
in clusters
•Cartilage cells
housed in lacunae
•Found in cartilage
of trachea
•Similarto hyaline
cartilage but with
abundant elastic
fibres and
lamellae
•Found in external
ear, epiglottis,
eustachean tube
and larynx
•Resembles C.T.
proper
•Chondrocytes +
dense C.T.
•Presence indicates
that resistance to
compresion as well as
to shear forces
•Found in
intervertebral disks,
symphysis pubis,
places where
tendons attach to
bones
Mineralized extracellular matrix
Osteocytes
Differentiated into
two types
› Agranular WBC
› Granular WBC
Granulated cytoplasm and multi-
lobulated nucleus whose lobes are
connectd by chromatin material
› EOSINOPHILS
› BASOPHILS
› NEUTROPHILS
Without granules in their cytoplasm
› LYMPHOCYTES
› MONOCYTES
› PLATELETS
Motors of the body
Unique due to presence of actin and
myosin filaments
Specialized for contraction
Responsible for movement of the body
and changes in size and shape of
internal organs
3 types
› Skeletal
› Smooth
› Cardiac
Muscle
attached to
skeleton
Controls
movement
and posture
Striation due to
arrangement
of myosin and
actin filaments
Nuclei found at
the periphery
Found in the
heart at the
base of the
venae cavae
Have one or
two nuclei
which are
centrally
located
Intrinsic muscle of
internal organs,
blood vessels, iris
and cilliary body of
the eye
Each bundle is
fusiform in shape
whit thicker central
portion and
tapered at both
ends
Single nucleus at
central part of fibre
Consists of nerve cells and associated
supporting cells
Cells are called NEURONS
