Study Notes
Types of Tissue
-
Epithelial Tissue
- Covers body surfaces, lines organs, and cavities.
- Acts as a barrier and plays a role in absorption, secretion, and sensation.
-
Muscle Tissue
- Responsible for body movement.
- Comprised of specialized cells that contract and facilitate movement throughout the body.
-
Nervous Tissue
- Allows cells to work together efficiently and perform specific tasks.
- Composed of neurons, which transmit impulses, and glial cells, which support and protect neurons.
-
Connective Tissue
- Characterized by cells embedded in an extracellular matrix.
- Provides structural support, storage, and transportation of substances within the body.
-
Supportive Connective Tissue
- Supports and connects different body parts.
- Includes bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue, playing crucial roles in stability and protection.
