| Description | Epithelial tissues: covering epithelial membranes and glandular epithelia (exocrine glands and endocrine glands) Connective tissues: general characteristics; cell types, fiber types, matrix; types of connective tissues (loose connective and adipose tissue, dense connective tissue, reticular connective tissue, cartilage, bone); development and growth of bone; basement membrane. Nervous tissues: nerve cells; glial cells; structure of nerve and ganglion; white matter and grey matter. Muscular tissues: smooth muscle; skeletal muscle (structure of a skeletal muscle, muscle fiber, myofibril, sarcomere, muscular contraction); cardiac muscle and conductive fibers. Blood: formed elements of the blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes). The blood vascular system and lymphatic vessels: structure and properties of arteries, veins and capillaries. Systems of junctions between cells The skin: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue; sweet glands and sebaceous glands. Salivary glands: histology and function. |
