What are the four basic tissues?

1) Epithelial Tissue


2) Connective Tissue


3) Muscle Tissue


4) Nerve Tissue

What is Epithelial Tissue?

Epithelial Tissue




- Covers exposed surfaces


- lines hollow organs, internal passageways and ducts (digestive tract, urinary tract, reproductive)


- forms glands

What is Connective tissue?

Connective Tissue




- Material found between cells


- Support and binds structures together


- Stores energy as fat


- Provides immunity to disease

What is Muscle tissue?

Muscle Tissue




- Cells shorten in length producing movement



What are the two types of muscle tissue?

Voluntary, which includes skeletal


Involuntary, which includes cardiac and smooth

What are Nerve tissues?

- Cells that conduct electrical signals


- Detects changes insides and outside the body

What are the general features of Epithelial Tissue?

- Regeneration



What is the basement membrane?

Basement membrane




- Supported by connective tissue; reticular and basal laminae

What are the functions of epithelial tissue?

- Physical protection


- Absorption


- Excretion


- Produces secretions


- Provides sensation


- Specialized Epithelium

If epithelial tissue has microvilli then what would be its specialization?

- Absorption/ secretion


- It would most likely be found in the digestive and urinary tracts

If epithelial tissue has cilia, then what would be its specialization?

- Movement


- It would mostly likely be found in the respiratory tracts, the synchronized beating moves mucous up from lungs to throats

What are exocrine glands?

- Cells that secrete - sweat, tears, milk, ear wax, saliva, digestive enzymes onto free surface of epithelial layer

- Connected to the surface by tubes (ducts)

What are endocrine glands?

- Ductless glands (e.g. thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands)


- Secrete hormones into the bloodstream

In connective tissues, do the cell touch?

They rarely touch due to extracellular matrix

What is the connective tissue matrix?

The matrix is made up of fibers & ground substance secreted by cells

What are the three (3) connective tissue?

* Connective Tissue Proper
