Study Notes
Tissue Types and Functions
- The human body has four tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous
- Epithelial tissue covers the body and composes glands, identified by cell layers and shape
- There are eight basic types of epithelium, including transitional and pseudostratified
- Glands are classified as exocrine (e.g., salivary glands) or endocrine (e.g., adrenal glands)
- Connective tissue is the most abundant type, with a matrix of semi-fluid substance and fibroblasts
- It includes soft connective tissue (e.g., loose and dense) and specialized connective tissue (e.g., cartilage and bone)
- Cartilage comes in three types: hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage, each with distinct functions
- Bone is mineralized tissue with osteocytes and a matrix of proteins, water, and salts
- Blood and lymph are fluid connective tissues, transporting nutrients, gases, and hormones
- Muscular tissue contracts to provide movement, heat, and is categorized as skeletal, smooth, or cardiac
- Skeletal muscle is highly organized and under voluntary control, while smooth muscle lines hollow organs
- Nervous tissue responds to the environment, containing neurons and neuroglia for processing and coordinating information
