Animal tissues short 2 Flashcards
What is the use of muscle cells?
The contraction and relaxation of these cells result in movement.
What are the types of Epithelial tissue?
1] Simple squamous epithelial
tissue
2] Stratified squamous epithelium
3] Ciliated columnar epithelium
4] Cuboidal epithelium
5] Glandular epithelium
What are Stratified squamous epithelium?
The skin is made of squamous epithelium. Skin epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear. Since they are arranged in a pattern of layers they are called stratified squamous epithelium.
What are Glandular epithelium?
Sometimes a portion of the epithelial tissue folds inward, and a multicellular gland is formed. This is glandular epithelium.
What are the different types of animal tissue?
Different types of animal tissues, are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue and nervous tissue.
What is connective tissue
The cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and embedded in an intercellular matrix. The matrix may be jelly like, fluid, dense or rigid. The nature of matrix differs according to the function of the particular connective tissue.
What is ligament?
Two bones are connected to each other by ligament. This tissue is very elastic. It has considerable strength and contain very little matrix.
