What are the four types of tissues? |
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nerve |
|
|
The general function and location of epithelial tissue? |
Found throughout the body, covers all body surfaces inside and out. This tissue is responsible for protection, secretion, absorption, excretion and sensory perception |
|
|
General function/location of connective tissue? |
This tissue is the most abundant, found throughout the body. Its functions include providing support, protection, framework, stores fat, produces blood cells, and fights infection. |
|
|
General function/location of muscle tissue? |
These tissues are what make up your muscles. They help you move. There are Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac muscles. Only the skeletal muscles are managed through voluntary control |
|
|
General location/function of nerve tissue? |
These tissues are found in the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The neurons are responsible for transmitting signals and neuroglia are responsible for protection and support |
|
|
characteristics of Simple epithelial tissues |
A single layer of cells |
|
|
Characteristics of stratified epithelial tissue |
Multiple layers of cells |
|
|
Characteristics of cuboidal epithelial tissue |
Cube shaped cells |
|
|
Characteristics of squamous epithelial tissues |
Flat and thin cells |
|
|
