Tissues: Groups of similar cells (and extracellular material) that perform similar functions
4 Types of Tissues 1.Epithelial 2.Connective 3.Muscular 4.Neural (Nervous or Nerve)
Epithelial Tissues
Epithelial Tissues Provide Protection
Epithelial Tissues Control Permeability
Epithelial Tissues Provide Sensation
Epithelial Tissues Make Secretions
Epithelial Tissues Provide Transport
Epithelial Tissues Allow Gas Exchange
Epithelial Tissues Allow Filtration
Epithelial Tissue Cells Are Tightly Packed
Epithelial Tissues Are Avascular
Epithelial Tissues Have a Basement Membrane
Epithelial Tissues Are Arranged in Thin Sheets
Epithelial Tissues Have a Free Surface
Epithelial Tissues Cover Exposed Surfaces
Epithelial Tissues Line “Hollow” organs
Epithelial Tissues found in Sweat Glands, Mucous Glands, Endocrine Glands
Connective Tissues
Connective Tissues Bind and Attach
Connective Tissues Transport Materials
Connective Tissues Store Energy
Connective Tissues Defend the Body
Connective Tissues Insulate
Connective tissues support and protect
Connective Tissues Have Cells, Protein Fibers, and Ground Substance
Connectives Tissues Include Blood
Connective Tissues Found in Lymph
Connective Tissues Found in Cartilage
Connective Tissues Found in Bone
3 Types of Muscle Tissue
Muscular Tissues Create Movement
Muscular Tissues Maintain Posture and Generate Heat
Muscular Tissue Structure: Spindle- Shaped Cells, Very Little Matrix, Contractile, Elastic, Filled with Actin & Myosin
Muscle Tissues Found in Skeletal Muscles, Heart, and Muscles of Internal Organs
Nervous Tissues Allow Communication, Control Body Functions, and Sense Stimuli
Nervous Tissue Includes Neurons and Neuroglia
Nervous Tissues Located in Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerves Throughout Body
Body Membranes Cover and Protect Other Tissues
Body Membranes are Made of Epithelial and Connective Tissues
4 Types of Body Membranes: Mucous Serous Cutaneous Synovial
Mucous Membranes
Serous Membranes
Parietal Membrane- lines cavity Visceral Membrane- lies directly on organ
Cutaneous Membranes (Skin)
Synovial Membranes
