Study Notes
Major Types of Tissues in the Body
- Four major types of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines body cavities, providing protection and secretion.
Connective Tissue
- Establishes the framework of the body, providing support and structure to organs and tissues.
- Responsible for supporting and protecting organs, such as bones and cartilage.
Muscle Tissue
- Responsible for contraction and enabling movement of body parts.
- Three types of muscle tissue: skeletal (voluntary movement), cardiac (heart muscle), and smooth (involuntary movement).
Nervous Tissue
- Coordinates body activities by transmitting electrical signals throughout the body.
- Composed of neurons and supporting cells, facilitating communication between different body parts.
Tissue Membranes
- Epithelial tissue combines with connective tissue to form various types of tissue membranes, such as mucous, serous, and synovial membranes.
