Epithelium glands

Veterinary Anatomy

Certain cells of the body in addition to carrying out some metabolic processes necessary for their own existence, also manufacture specific substance not for their own use, but to be extruded, from the cells and used elsewhere in the body – secretion(e.g. gastric juice) or discarded – excretion (e.g. urine). Such cells are known as gland cells or

Reticulo-endothelial system

Veterinary Anatomy

‘Reticulo-endothelial system‘ name is given to the system more on physiological and pathological consideration than on anatomical structure. The cells of this system do not form true endothelium. All highly phagocytic cells of the body, except leucocytes belong to this system. The only certain method of identification of these cells is by injection of nontoxic

special connective tissue

Veterinary Anatomy

special connective tissue of animals are -Reticular Tissue, Adipose Tissue, Brown fat tissue, Pigmented Connective Tissue Reticular tissue  It is composed of cells and reticular fibre network. The cells have stellate shape with processes which extend in all directions and joins those of wrapped by reticular fibres. The reticular tissue forms the frame work of

Dense connective tissue

Veterinary Anatomy

Dense connective tissue fibers are closely packed to form sheets, cords or bands (e.g dermis, capsules of certain organs, aponeurosis, ligaments and tendon) based on the nature of arrangement of the fibres. They are classified into two groups Irregularly arranged Regularly arranged Dense irregularly arranged connective tissue occurs in the form of sheets. Main component

Loose connective tissue

Veterinary Anatomy

Loose or areolar connective tissue is very widely distributed in the body. It forms the superficial and of the deep fascia; forms part of the frame work (stroma) of most of the organs; or surrounds blood vessels and nerves and fills in any otherwise unoccupied spaces. Areolar tissues contain cells, fibres and ground substance. CELLS

Embryonal connective tissue

Veterinary Anatomy

There are two varieties of Embryonal connective tissue present- Mesenchyme and Mucous. Mesenchyme consists of a network of branching cells, in the meshes of which is a homogenous intercellular fluid. The processes of a cell appear to anastomose with those of other cells. As development progresses, wavy primitive fibres appear between branching cells and the
