Four Major Types of Tissue - Coggle Diagram
Four Major Types of Tissue
Neural Tissue
Function
: sends and receives electrical impulses
Example
: Brain
Found
: chest and up
Muscle Tissue
Function
: specializes in contractions
Example
: Smooth muscle
Found
: muscles
Function
: fills internal spaces, supports other tissues, transports material, and stores energy
Found
: areas where stress occurs
Example
: tendon
Connective Tissue
Shared Components
Ground Substance
Specialized Cells
Protein Fibers
Main Categories
Connective Tissue Proper
connective tissues that contain many types of cells and fibers surrounded by a syrupy ground substance
Example: tissues that underlies skin, fatty tissue, tendons, and ligaments
Function: supports and connects tissues
Supporting Connective Tissue
these tissues are less diverse and have a matrix of dense ground substance and closely packed fiber, which give them the strength and rigidity to support the body; comes in two types: cartilage and bone
Examples: cartilage and bone
Function: provide structure and strength to the body and protect soft tissues
Fluid Connective Tissue
contains distinctive populations of cells suspended in a watery ground substance that contains dissolved proteins
Examples: blood and lymph
Function: circulates oxygen and removes waste
Function
: covers and lines surfaces
Found
: exterior surfaces and interior surfaces, such as blood vessels
Example
: lining of the blood vessels
Epithelial Tissue
many layers of cells
Stratified
Columnar
Located in the male urethra and the ducts of some glands
Function: secrets and protects
Squamous
Located in the lines of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
Function: protects against abrasion
Cubodial
Located in the sweat glands, salivary glands, and the mammary glands
Function: protective tissue
single layer of cells
Simple
Columnar
Located in ciliated tissues in bronchi , uterine tubes, and uterus; smooth (conciliated tissues) are in the digestive tract, bladder
Function: absorbs, and also secretes mucus and enzymes
Squamous
Located in the air sacs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels , and lymphatic vessels
Function: allows materials to pass through by diffusion and filtration, and secretes lubricating substance
Cubodial
Located in ducts and secretory portions small glands and in kidney tubules
Function: secretes and absorbs
Pseudostratified
Columnar
Located in the ciliated tissue that lines the trachea and much of the upper respiratory tract
Function: secretes mucus; ciliated tissue moves mucus
Transitional
Located in the lines of the bladder, urethra, ad the ureters
Function: allows the urinary organs to expand and stretch
