What 4 basic types of tissue make up the body?
Epithelial Tissue, Connective tissue, Muscle and Nervous Tissue
Functions of the Epithelial Tissue?
- Provide physical protection (covers exposed surfaces)
- Control permeability
- Provide sensation
- Produce specialised secretions (lines internal passageways and chambers)
- Forms secretory glands
Epithelial Tissue Includes?
Epithelia, Glands
Connective Tissue subcategories?
- Connective Tissue Proper
- Fluid Connective Tissue
- Supporting Connective Tissue
What are the Muscle tissue subcategories?
-Skeletal Muscle Tisssue
-Cardiac Muscle Tissue
-Smooth Muscle Tissue
Functions of Epithelial Tissue?
-Covers exposed surfaces
-Lines internal passageways and chambers
- Forms secretory glands
What is a tissue?
A group of cells that have similar structure that function together as a unit.
What is the study of tissues called?
Histology
Role of the Nervous Tissue/
- Conducts electrical impulses
- Carries information
What are glands?
Organised groups of cells or organs that contain epithelial-derived cells that synthesise substances for secretion.
What are the 2 types of glands?
Exocrine glands and Endocrine glands.
Role of exocrine glands?
Secrete onto external surfaces or into internal passageways (ducts) that connect to the exterior.
Role of endocrine glands?
Secrete hormones (chemical messagers) or their inactive precursors into the interstitial fluid that then enter the bloodstream for distribution.
