tissues

2. Body tissues
Group of cells that are similar in structure and function.

3. Four types of tissues Epithelium-covering Connective-support
Nervous-control
Muscle-movement
*tissues from organs may contain several types

5. Epithelial
Nervous
Connective
Muscular

6. Epithelial: Lining, covering and glandular tissue Protection (skin)
Absorption (lining of the digestive system)
Filtration (kidneys)
Secretion (glands)
Are avascular-no blood supply

7. Classification of epithelia tissue-classified by shape and arrangement:
Squamous-flat scale
Cuboidal-cubed
Columnar-tall & elongated
Simple-one layer
Stratified-many layers

10. Connective: Protection, support and binding
Most abundant tissue type found every where in the body
Vascular-high in blood supply-with the exceptions of tendons and ligaments

11. Types of connective tissue
Bone
Cartilage
Dense connective-tendons and ligaments
Loose connective-adipose
blood

12. Definitions: Tendon-connects muscle to bone Ligament-bone to bone
Cartilage-covers the ends of bone-hard rubbery material

15. Nervous: Neuron cells-conduct electrochemical impulses
Can be up to 3 feet long

17. Muscle:
Contracts and shortens

18. Types of muscle tissue Skeletal-voluntary-striations (stripes)
Cardiac-heart only-involuntary-striations
Smooth-involuntary-no striations-walls of hollow organs such as stomach, bladder and uterus-contract slowly

20. Review:
There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body). Muscle tissue includes striated (also called voluntary) muscles that move the skeleton, and smooth muscle, such as the muscles that surround the stomach. Nerve tissue is made up of nerve cells (neurons) and is used to carry "messages" to and from various parts of the body.
