Resume
Stratum corneum: dead cells
The outermost part is called stratum disjunctum

Stratum lucidum: contains eleidin lux

Stratum spinosum: when pulled apart
spine-like
Stratum basale: mitotic layer; also called the
stratum germinativum

Pancreas (Serous gland)

Resume duct system of salivary glands

Intercalated duct
Low cuboidal or squamous cells

Intralobular duct (striated duct)

Cuboidal cells

Interlobular duct
Can be more than one layer of cells
Surrounded by much connective tissue

Supporting Connective Tissue

Supporting connective tissue:
Cartilage
Hyaline
Elastic
Fibrocartilago

Bone
Compact bone
Cancellous bone

Supporting Tissue
Cartilage
Avascular, no lymphatics or nerves
Nourished by diffusion of nutrients from
capillaries in perichondrium or by synovial fluid
from joint cavities.
Perichondrium: dense connective tissue. Joint
cartilage is devoid of perichondrium (nutrients
from synovial fluid).
Growth: interstitial + appositional

Hyalin Cartilage
Chondroblasts at the
periphery
Chondrocytes in lacunae
Homogenous matrix
Territorium: matrix
surrounding chondrocytes is
metachromatic due to
glycosaminoglycans
Nest/isogenous cells
A perichondrium present
Location

Elastic Cartilage
Location: auricle,
eustachian tube, epiglottis,
walls of external auditory
canal, the cuneiform
cartilage of the larynx
Matrix appear dirty
(elastic fibers)
A perichondrium present

Fibrocartilago
Always between dense connective tissue and
hyaline cartilage.
The border areas is not clear-cut.
Chondrocytes usually in rows or singly
separated by coarse collagen type I fibers
Location: intervertebral disks and symphysis
pubis
No perichondrium

Photomicrograph of Fibrocartilago
Note the rows of
chondrocytes separated
by collagen fibers.
Fibrocartilago is
frequently found in the
insertion of tendons on
the epiphyseal hyaline
cartilage.

Bones
Main constituent of adult skeleton
Supports fleshy structures, protects vital organs
(thorax, cranium), harbors the bone marrow.
Reservoir of calcium, phosphate, and other ions
Bone matrix with 3 cell types: osteoblasts (synthesize
organic components), osteocytes (in lacunae), and
osteoclasts (resorption and remodeling of bone
tissues).
A periosteum present

Bone
Long bone diaphysis
Showing haversian systems,
outer and inner
circumferential lamellae.
The protruding haversian
system on the left shows
the orientation of collagen
fibers in each lamella. At
the right is a haversian
system showing lamellae, a
central blood capillary and
many osteocytes with their
processes.

Part of a haversian system

Note the numerous
canaliculi that permit
communication
between lacunae and
the haversian canal. In
adjacent lamellae, the
collagen fibers are
oriented in different
directions, which
provide the bone with
great strength.
