Types of Tissues in the Human Body Quiz

Study Notes

Overview of Tissue Types in the Human Body

Three types of epithelial tissue: epithelial tissue proper, endothelial tissue, and mesothelial tissue
Muscle tissue makes up about 40% of the human body weight and is involved in all movements
Muscles attach via tendons to periosteum of bone or perichondrium of cartilage
Musculature is divided into three categories: origin, insertion, and action
Two types of muscle groups: agonistic (flex) and antagonistic (extend)
Three types of muscle tissue: striated (voluntary), cardiac (involuntary), and smooth (involuntary)
Connective tissue holds structures together and comes in two types: loose and dense
Specialized connective tissue includes cartilage and bone
Bone is composed of collagen and matrix, intermixed with minerals like calcium
Vascular tissue is fluid tissue and includes blood, lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid
Joints provide mobility to the bones and come in three types: synarthrodial, amphiarthrodial, and diarthrodial
Nerve cell tissue includes glial cells and neurons, which transmit information through chemical and electrical means.
