Nervous tissue
Composed of neurons and neuroglia cells
Which type of tissue is the most abundant in the body?
Connective tissue
Cartilage tissue
Flexible tissue Shock absorber between the bones of joints
Classification of epithelial tissues by shape
Squamous Cuboidal columnar
Tissues
A group of like cells working together to perform the same function
System
A group of organs working together to perform a very complex integrated process
Organ
A group of several different types of tissues working together to perform a specific function
Organism
All the systems works together to sustain life
Connective tissue
Consist of cells embedded inside a solid or fluid matrix
Epithelial Tissue
Covers external surface of the body and lines the body cavities, blood vehicles, and hollow or tubular organs
The 4 basic types of animal tissue
Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous
Adipose tissue
Fat tissue Stores energy and cushions other organs
Skeletal muscle
Is striated voluntary Connected to bones Multiple nuclei
Neurons
Larger than neuroglia cells Generate electrical impulses
Smooth (visceral) muscle
No striations Involuntary Found in internal organs and blood vessels peristalsis Spindle shaped
Muscle tissue
Produce movement
Functions of epithelial tissue
Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion
Classification of epithelial tissue by layers
