Flashcards
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
A type of tissue that covers surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands. It plays roles in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation.
Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue
A group of cells that supports, binds, and protects tissues and organs. Functions include structural support, energy storage, and material transport.
Muscle Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Tissue responsible for body movement, consisting of cells that can contract. Examples include skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Nervous Tissue
Nervous Tissue
Specialized tissue that makes up the nervous system, responsible for transmitting electrical signals for information processing and communication.

Epithelial Tissue
- Covers body surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands.
- Functions include protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation.
- Types include squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-shaped), columnar (tall), and transitional (variable).
- Examples include skin epithelium and lining of the digestive tract.
Connective Tissue
- Supports, binds, and protects body tissues and organs.
- Functions include structural support, energy storage, and material transport.
- Types include loose, dense, and specialized connective tissues (e.g., cartilage, bone, blood).
- Examples include adipose tissue (fat) and bone tissue.
Muscle Tissue
- Responsible for body movement.
- Functions involve contraction and movement.
- Types include skeletal muscle (voluntary), cardiac muscle (heart, involuntary), and smooth muscle (involuntary, organs).
- Examples include biceps (skeletal muscle) and the heart (cardiac muscle).
Nervous Tissue
- Forms the nervous system and transmits electrical signals.
- Functions include information processing and signal transmission.
- Components include neurons (nerve cells) and glial cells (supporting cells).
- Examples include the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
