Study Notes
Types of Tissue
- There are four main types of tissue: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
Epithelial Tissue
- Covers internal and external body surfaces.
- Made up of tightly packed cells in a variety of arrangements.
- Divided into two subtypes: mesothelium and endothelium.
- Endothelium forms the lining of internal organs, including blood vessels.
- Mesothelium forms the lining of serous membranes, such as the peritoneum.
- Prefix "epi-" means above, "thel/o" means nipple or thin membrane, and suffix "-um" means structure.
Connective Tissue
- Adds support and structure to the body by holding organs in place and binding body parts together.
- Types of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, loose connective tissue, blood, and adipose (fat) tissue.
- Adip/o is the combining form for fat.
Muscle Tissue
- Contains cell material with the specialized ability to contract and relax.
- Three muscle types exist in animals: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Nervous Tissue
- Contains cells with the specialized ability to react to stimuli and conduct electrical impulses.
Tissue Formation
- The suffix "-plasia" (plā-zē-ah) is used to describe formation, development, and growth in the number of cells in an organ or tissue.
- The suffix "-trophy" (trō-fē) means formation, development, and growth in the size of an organ or a tissue or individual cells.
- Different prefixes are used to describe problems with tissue formation.
