ANIMAL HISTOLOGY
Background The tissues of multicellular animals are organized on the basis of the type of cells which form the tissues,thus the cells composing the tissues are specialized (Campbell et al., 2000; Raven and Johnson, 1999). Eachtissue has a common structure and function and ischaracteristically held together by intracellular materials.It represents specialization of the properties that all
protoplasms possess such as contractility, excretion and irritability.
An animal has four categories of tissues namely:epithelium, connective, muscular and nervous. Theepithelium forms a protective covering; the connectiveserves as binding and supportive tissue; muscular contracts for movement; and the nervous tissue is for conduction of impulse and reception of stimuli (Hickmanet al., 1996).
Tissues interact with their environment, and theconstant changing of their environment demands a
considerable degree of adaptability (Burkitt et al., 1996;Sandritter and Thomas, 1979). Hence, their failure toadapt to changes may result to histopathologic conditionwhich refers to the abnormalities or diseases associated with tissues.
Characterization of animal tissues throughmicroscopic observations of will be performed in thislaboratory activity.
Goals At the end of the activity, the students should beable to:
1. identify the major types of tissues and their subgroups;
2. compare the morphology of the different tissues, and3. categorize each of the tissues based on their
general functions and locations in the body.

2. Characterize the epithelial tissues according to their structural properties and
classification.
Epithelial tissues are formed by closely aggregated cells resembling sheetor membrane. They cover or line surfaces or masses of cells in glands. One
of their surfaces is attached to a basement membrane, while the other is free.They have plenty nerve fibers and are considered avascular because they do nothave blood supply. Their nutrition is through osmosis or diffusion from underlyingvascular connective tissues. They are classified according to cell shape andnumber of cell layers.
Table 7.1a. Classification and descriptions of epithelial tissues
Basis Description
Cell shape
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
The cells are thin, broad and with flat appearance.
The cells are roughly thick than wide, and cube-like.
The cells are tall than wide; and in vertical section, resemblesrectangular-shape. Some are modified with cilia, the hair-likeprojections at the distal ends.
Layering of cells
Simple
Stratified
Pseudo-stratified
Transitional
It is one-cell thick.
It is two or more-cell thick.
It is composed of columnar cells of one-cell thick, however, itlooks like stratified because its cells extend in varied distancesfrom the basement membrane, thus, it gives the false layeredappearance.
It is composed of rounded, or plump cells with the ability to to be
stretched. Hence, the superficial cells are flattened when theorgan is distended and rounded when empty.

3. Characterize the connective tissue according to their structural compositionand classification.
Connective tissues are widely separated by huge amount of intercellular or fiber-filled ground substance. The gel-like matrix of the groundsubstance entrench different kinds of cells and protein fibers. They providestructural and metabolic support for other tissues or organs of the body. Hence,they function with a variety support mechanisms such as packing, storage,

transport, defense and repair. They are classified either as loose connectivetissue or dense connective tissue based on the composition and arrangement of fibers. Some specialized connective tissues are also classified according to their structural composition, as well as their functions. These tissues are outlined inTable 7.2.
Table 7.2. Types and descriptions of connective tissues
Type Description Location
Arrangement of fibers
Loose CT
Dense CT
These are tissues with fibers arranged in ameshwork, and are composed of three main fibersclassified as collagen, elastic and reticular. Thereare two main loose connective tissues:
Loose areolar tissue has a variety of proteinaceous fibers, including collagen andelastin.
Reticular tissue is a type of loose irregular CT andhas a network of reticular fibers. It resemblesareolar CT, but the only fibers in its matrix arereticular fibers, which form a delicate networkalong with fibroblasts.
These are composed primarily of collagenousfibers which are arranged parallel to each other.They are resistant to stretching and are further grouped into.
Dense regular are composed of collagen fiberswhich appear silvery white. They are arranged inan orderly parallel manner conferring their greatstrength and toughness yet somewhat pliable.
Dense Irregular contain collagen fibers that areirregularly interwoven. They are found in parts of the body where tensions are exerted in variousdirections.
lymph nodes, liver andbone marrow
spleen; lymphatic system
tendons, ligaments.

Structural composition
Cartilage This is a semi rigid form of connective tissue withclosely packed fibers embedded in a gel-likeground substance or matrix. Cells within smallpockets, called lacunae, are also present.
Hyaline is an avascular cartilagenous tissue witha translucent ground substance which is madepredominantly of collagen and is avascular.

Elastic is similar to hyaline but contains elasticbundles (elastin) scattered throughout the matrix.
Fibrocartilage is a specialized typeof cartilagefound in the areas requiring tough support or great
tensile strength.
This is a rigid form of connective tissue consists of cells fibers and ground substance or matrix whichis calcified.
This is a fluid tissue consisting of free cells andfliud intercellular plasma. The cells are further classified as red blood cells (erythrocytes) andwhile blood cells (leukocytes)

4.. Characterize muscular tissue according to their structural composition andfunction.
Muscular tissue has highly developed the property of contractility, hence, it
produces force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internalorgans. Much of muscle contraction occurs without conscious thought(involuntary contraction) and is necessary for survival, while voluntary musclecontraction is used to move the body, and can be finely controlled. Outinedbelow are the types of muscular tissue:
Table 7.3. Muscle tissues and their corresponding descriptions
Type Description Location
Skeletal It is a straited, voluntary muscle which isresponsible to react to conscious control.The muscle fibers are much longer andlarger in diameter than the smooth musclefibers. Each muscle fiber shows distinctcross-striation, and is multinucleated, withthe nuclei situated below the sarcolemma.
attached to the skeleton
Smooth It is a non-straited, involuntary muscle is notunder conscious control. Each muscle fiber is a spindle-shaped cell with an elongated
or ovoid centrally-located nucleus.
walls of organs and structuressuch as the esophagus,stomach,intestines, bronchi,
uterus, urethra, bladder andblood vessels
Cardiac It is a straited, involuntary muscle. It hasslender ovoid or elongated nuclei seen atthe periphery of the fibers.

5. Characterize the nervous tissues according to their structural properties and
cell types.
Nervous tissue is specialized for the reception of stimuli and for the conductionof impulses from one region to another. There are two major cell populations in
the nervous tissues, the neurons and neuroglia. The brain and the spinal cordare composed of tissues of the gray and white matter. In the central nervoussystem, the white matter is formed by the myelinated axons, while theunmyelinated dendrites and cell bodies form the gray matter.

Neurogila They are variety of non-nervous cells. Its
named “glia” means glue whichdescribes its basic supportive function.
Scattered throughout the brain
and the spinal cord
Neurons The neurons (nerve cells or neurocytes)are consists of cell body (cyton) with longprocesses (dendrites) which extend up tothe peripheral terminals.

Making Connection
In most tissues, fibrous scar forms a functionally adequate, unspecialized,replacement for damaged tissues provided sufficient normal tissue remains. Withtime, the red appearance of recent scar is gone and cellularity of the scar diminishes and contracts which become virtually undetectable macroscopically.How does epithelial regeneration account to this tissue repair?
