Study Notes
Connective Tissue
- Composed primarily of an extracellular matrix and a limited number of cells.
- Most types contain ground substances, fibers, and cells.
- Blood and lymph are specialized fluid connective tissues without fiber.
Epithelial Tissue
- Forms the covering on all internal and external surfaces of the body.
- Lines body cavities and hollow organs.
- Major tissue in glands.
Muscle Tissue
- Composed of cells that contract to produce movement.
- Highly cellular and well supplied with blood vessels.
Nervous Tissue
- Found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
- Responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities.
- Stimulates muscle contraction.
- Creates an awareness of the environment.
- Plays a major role in emotions, memory, and reasoning.
