Structural Organisation Mind Map
ANIMAL TISSUES
├── EPITHELIAL TISSUE
│ ├── Simple (1 layer)
│ │ ├── Squamous → blood vessels, alveoli → diffusion
│ │ ├── Cuboidal → kidney tubules → secretion/absorption
│ │ ├── Columnar → stomach, intestine → secretion/absorption
│ │ ├── Ciliated → trachea, oviducts → movement
│ │ └── Glandular → goblet cells, salivary glands → secretion
│ └── Compound (multiple layers)
│ └── Skin, pharynx, buccal cavity → PROTECTION
│
├── CONNECTIVE TISSUE (most abundant)
│ ├── Loose CT
│ │ ├── Areolar → fibroblasts + mast cells + macrophages
│ │ └── Adipose → adipocytes → fat storage
│ ├── Dense CT
│ │ ├── Regular → Tendons (muscle→bone) + Ligaments (bone→bone)
│ │ └── Irregular → Dermis → multi-directional resistance
│ └── Specialized CT
│ ├── Cartilage → chondrocytes in lacunae → chondroitin sulfate
│ │ ├── Hyaline (trachea)
│ │ ├── Elastic (ear pinna)
│ │ └── Fibrocartilage (intervertebral discs)
│ ├── Bone → osteocytes → calcium phosphate → Haversian system
│ └── Blood → RBCs/WBCs/Platelets → plasma matrix
│
├── MUSCULAR TISSUE
│ ├── Skeletal → striated + voluntary + multinucleated + cylindrical
│ ├── Smooth → non-striated + involuntary + uninucleated + spindle
│ └── Cardiac → striated + involuntary + intercalated discs + autorhythmic
│
├── NEURAL TISSUE
│ ├── Neurons → cyton + dendrites (receive) + axon (transmit)
│ └── Neuroglia
│ ├── Schwann cells → PNS myelin
│ ├── Oligodendrocytes → CNS myelin
│ ├── Astrocytes → blood-brain barrier
│ └── Microglia → CNS immune cells
│
└── FROG ANATOMY
├── Heart → 3 chambers (2 atria + 1 ventricle) + sinus venosus + truncus arteriosus
├── Respiration → cutaneous + buccopharyngeal + pulmonary
├── Excretion → ureotelic + mesonephric kidneys
├── Nervous → 10 cranial nerve pairs
└── Reproduction → external fertilization; male = vocal sacs + nuptial pads + Bidder's canal
