Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Nervous tissue
Muscle tissue

Muscle Tissue
Muscle tissue is a soft tissue that
composes muscles in animal bodies, and
gives rise to muscles' ability to contract.
Muscles have several main functions,
including locomotion, heat production,
structural support and muscle
contractions.
Muscles are dense and account for nearly
40 percent of the body's weight.

Muscle Tissue Types

There are three major types of muscle
tissue
Cardiac Muscle: joined to one another by
intercalated discs which allow the
synchronization of the heart beat.
Skeletal Muscle: attached to bones by
tendons, is associated with the body's
voluntary movements.
Visceral (Smooth) Muscle: controlling
movements of the body.

Connective Tissue
Connective tissue supports, connects,
or separates different types of tissues
and organs in the body.
Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for
the production of some CT.

Connective Tissue Type

There 3 types of connective tissue.
Areolar
Adipose
Bone tissue
Cartilage tissue
Fibrous
Hemopoietic tissue
Blood tissue
EX: Areolar: fibrous connective tissue,
loosely packed, to hold tissue layers
together

Nervous Tissue
Nervous tissue is made up of different
types of nerve cells, all of which have
an axon.
Functions of the nervous system are
sensory input, integration, control of
muscles and glands, homeostasis, and
mental activity.
The tissue located in the brain and
spinal cord consists of both gray and
white matter.

The 3 Elements of Nervous Tissue
Brain
Spinal cord
Nerves

Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial tissue covers the whole
surface of the body.
It is made up of cells closely packed
and ranged in one or more layers.
It protects us from the outside world skin
Absorbs stomach and intestinal
lining (gut)
Filters the kidney
Secretes forms glands

Epithelial Tissue
By cell arrangement
Simple epithelium - single layer of cells
(usually for absorption and filtration)
Stratified epithelium - stacked up cell
layers (protection from abrasion - mouth,
skin.)
EX: Skin, stomach, and intestinal lining.
