Tissues of the Body State two types of tissues that you think are in the human body.  From Cells to Organ Systems Cells combine to form tissues, and tissues combine to form organs Cells combine to form four primary tissues – Epithelial tissue – Connective tissue – Muscle tissue – Nervous Tissue Epithelium-Human Stomach  Section 4-1 Connective Tissue Binds the cells and organs of the body together The body contains three types of specialized connective tissue: Cartilage Bone Blood The muscle (that makes up the esophagus) that is responsible for swallowing food is a type of skeletal muscle. True False  Muscle Tissue Consists of specialized cells that contract when stimulated The body has three types of muscle tissue: Skeletal (voluntary) Cardiac (involuntary) Smooth muscle (involuntary)  Nervous Tissue Contains specialized cells that conduct impulses Conducting cells, called neurons, transmit impulses from one region of the body to another. Nonconducting cells, neuroglia (glial cells, are a type of nervous system connective tissue that helps maintain the health of neurons Nerve Tissue State the names of any 4 organ systems that are found in the human body. Central Idea  Organ Systems Tissues combine to form organs. – Organs are discrete structures that have evolved to perform specific functions – Most organs do not function alone, they are part of a group of cooperative organs, called an organ system.
