Study Notes
Four Types of Tissues
- Epithelial: Protects the inside layer
- Connective: Provides structure, support, and barrier functions
- Muscle: Has the ability to contract and move
- Neural: Carries information from one part of the body to another
Types of Epithelia
- Exchange: Rapid exchange of materials
- Ciliated: Lines airways and female reproductive tracts
- Secreted: Synthesizes and releases products into the external environment/blood
- Transporting: Selects and transports materials
- Protective: Found on the surface of the body, regulates exchange of materials between external and internal environments
Types of Connective Tissue
- Loose: Elastic tissue, primary function
- Dense: Strength, contains adipocytes (white/brown fat)
- Adipose: Contains adipocytes (white/brown fat)
- Blood: Watery mixture with no insoluble protein fibers
- Supporting: Dense substances
Types of Muscle
- Skeletal: Gross body movement
- Smooth: Influences movement of substances into/out of the body
- Cardiac: Found in the heart; contractions move blood through the body
Types of Cells in Nervous Tissue
- Neurons: Carry information as electrical/chemical signals
- Glial Cells: Support cells of neurons
