TISSUES
Epithelial Tissue
-
-
-
The lining of the mouth, lung alveoli and
kidney tubules are all made of epithelial tissue.
They perform a variety of functions that
include protection, secretion, absorption,
excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
Connective Tissue
-
-
-
Connective tissues bind structures together, form a framework and support for organs and the body as a whole, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, and help repair tissue damage. They occur throughout the body.
Connective tissue has three main components: cells, fibers, and ground substance.
Muscle Tissue
-
-
-
The muscular tissues are bundled together and surrounded by a tough connective tissue similar to cartilage known as epimysium.
Muscle tissue is composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts.
Nervous Tissue
-
-
Four types of neuroglia found in the CNS are astrocytes, microglial cells, ependymal cells, and oligodendrocytes. Two types of neuroglia found in the PNS are satellite cells and Schwann cells.
It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. It stimulates muscle contraction, creates an awareness of the environment, and plays a major role in emotions, memory, and reasoning.
