    Study Notes

    The term "tissue" refers to a group of cells that share a common embryonic origin and are arranged in an orderly pattern to achieve specific functions. Tissues are more commonly found in complex organisms, as opposed to multicellular protists which do not have cells organized into tissues. There are four broad categories of tissues in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each category has specific functions that contribute to overall health and maintenance of the body. Tissue membranes are thin layers of cells that cover the outside of the body, organs, internal passageways, and lining of moveable joint cavities. There are two types of tissue membranes: connective tissue and epithelial membranes. Connective tissue membranes encapsulate organs and line movable joints, while epithelial membranes are composed of epithelium attached to a layer of connective tissue. Examples of epithelial membranes include skin, mucous membranes, serous membranes, and cutaneous membranes.
