    Study Notes

    Plant and Animal Tissues

    • Tissues are groups of cells with a similar function within an organism.
    • Levels of organization in animals include atom, molecule, protoplasm, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism.
    • The arrangement of epithelial tissue can be simple, stratified, or pseudostratified.
    • Functionally, epithelial tissue can be protective, glandular (secretory), sensory, or involved in absorption or filtration.
    • Epithelial tissue forms the covering or lining of all free body surfaces (both external and internal).
    • Epithelial cells are compact and bonded together by intercellular cement for strength.
    • Epithelial cells are often supported by a basement membrane.
    • Types of epithelial cells include squamous, cuboidal, columnar, ciliated, or flagellated.

    Animal Tissues

    • Epithelial tissue is the covering or lining of free surfaces.
    • Connective tissue holds organs, structures, and tissues in place, characterized by extracellular matrix.
    • Types of connective tissue include loose connective tissue (areolar and adipose), dense connective tissue (tendons and ligaments), skeletal connective tissue (bone and cartilage), and fluid connective tissue (blood and lymph).
    • Nervous tissue is made up of neurons and neuroglia which support neurons.
    • Muscular tissue is made of elongated cells or fibers that make possible body and part movement.
    • Types of muscular tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.

    Plant Tissues

    • There are three types of meristematic tissues: apical (growth), lateral (thickness), and intercalary (length).
    • Permanent tissues are specialized for elasticity, flexibility, and strength.
    • Types of permanent tissue include simple (parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma) and complex (dermal and vascular). Vascular tissue includes xylem and phloem.
