Study Notes
Types of Tissues
-
Epithelial Tissue: forms the lining of body surfaces, glands, and organs; functions in protection, absorption, and secretion
- Examples: skin, lung alveoli, gut lining
-
Connective Tissue: provides support, structure, and connectivity to the body; composed of cells and a matrix
- Examples: bone, cartilage, fat, blood, tendons, ligaments
-
Muscle Tissue: responsible for movement and contraction
- Examples: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle
-
Nervous Tissue: transmits and processes information
- Examples: neurons, glial cells
Functions of Tissues
- Protection: epithelial tissue protects the body from external damage and infection
- Support: connective tissue provides structural support and framework for the body
- Movement: muscle tissue enables movement and contraction
- Regulation: nervous tissue regulates various bodily functions and processes information
- Absorption: epithelial tissue absorbs nutrients and substances
- Secretion: epithelial tissue secretes hormones, enzymes, and other substances
Characteristics of Tissues
- Cellularity: tissues are composed of cells
- Specialization: tissues have specialized functions and structures
- Organization: tissues are organized into specific structures and patterns
- Regeneration: some tissues have the ability to regenerate and repair themselves
- Differentiation: tissues can differentiate into specialized cells and structures
Tissue Interactions
- Tissue-Tissue Interactions: tissues interact with each other to perform specific functions
- Cell-Cell Interactions: cells within tissues interact with each other to coordinate functions
- Cell-Matrix Interactions: cells interact with the matrix to maintain tissue structure and function
Tissue Development and Repair
- Tissue Formation: tissues form during embryonic development and growth
- Tissue Growth: tissues grow and increase in size through cell division and differentiation
- Tissue Repair: tissues repair and regenerate in response to injury or damage
- Tissue Remodeling: tissues adapt and change structure in response to changes in the body
