Study Notes
Tissue Level of Organization
- Groups of similar cells and extracellular products that carry out a common function are called tissues.
- The study of tissues is called histology.
- There are four primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines the inside of organs and body cavities.
- Epithelial tissue is avascular (lacks blood vessels).
- Characteristics of epithelial tissue include polarity, cells connected to each other by intercellular junctions, high regeneration capacity, and attachment to a basement membrane.
Characteristics of Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue is found in blood, body fat, ligaments and tendons, dermis of the skin, and in the cartilage of some joints.
- Connective tissue has a large amount of extracellular matrix.
Contrast between Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue is different from other tissue types in its characteristics and functions.
- Endocrine is not one of the four primary tissue types.
Overview of Histology and Tissue Types
- Histology is the study of tissues.
- There are four primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
- Each tissue type has unique characteristics and functions.
