Study Notes
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.
