List the 5 important tips to remember when studying histology? Practice, don’t memorize, recognize patterns, form= function, and only a part of a picture. What are the 4 major categories of tissues in the human body?

The fundamental aim of histology is to determine how tissues are organized at all structural levels, from cells and intercellular substances to organs.

A : Of course, histology is important in order to compare with (anatomical) pathology. Histology is study about micro-structure of human body. As other basic sciences in medicine, many students disregard basic sciences and go straight into clinical sciences.

Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.

Four examples of epithelial tissue disease include eczema, psoriasis, epithelial carcinoma, and severe asthma. Eczema affects the epithelial tissue of the skin, including the stratified squamous tissues, and causes inflammation of skin tissue in angry rashes and itchy welts.

Remember where the loose tissues are by thinking of skin and its elasticity. Dense tissue is found in ligaments and tendons; make a correlation between the strong and dense tendons to the name “dense connective tissue.” Cartilage is packed into tight spaces, much like cargo on an airplane.

Overall, enamel is by far the toughest material in our bodies, and scientists have been examining its structure and composition for decades.

The four major classes of simple epithelium are: 1) simple squamous; 2) simple cuboidal; 3) simple columnar; and 4) pseudostratified.
