Histology Terminology
Skin
Covers the external surface.
- epidermis - epithelium, keratinised stratified squamous epithelium.
- dermis - connective tissue; papillary (loose CT) and reticular layer (dense irregular CT)
- hypodermis - (hypoderm, subcutis) connective tissue,
Adventitia
Within the body.
- Connective tissue of one structure meets connective tissue of another structure.
Serosa
(serous membrane) has a wet surface (watery).
- Epithelia and connective tissue lines body cavities. Covers organs in the body.
- mesothelium - the layer of cells (mesoderm in origin), lining the body cavity of the embryo. In the adult, it is a simple squamous epithelium that covers all true serous membranes (peritoneum, pericardium, pleura).
Mucosa
(mucous membrane) has a wet surface (mucus).
- Epithelia and connective tissue that lines organs that open to the outside.
