Levels of biological organization
- Cells
- Tissues
- Organs
- Organ systems
Major tissues in human body
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscular
- Nervous
Continuous layer over body surface and cavities
Epithelial Tissue
Function of the epithelial tissue
- Protection from infection, injury, and drying out
- May produce and release secretions, absorb nutrients
How are epithelial tissue arranged?
- Shapes
- Layers
Three shapes in epithelial tissue
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Columnar
Three layers of epithelial tissues
- Simple
- Stratified
- Pseudo stratified
Two different extensions of epithelial tissue
- Cellular extensions called microvilli
- Hair like extensions called cilia
Two kinds of connective tissue
- Connective tissue proper
2. Special connective tissue
Kinds of connective tissue proper
- Loose fibrous
- Dense fibrous
- Adipose tissue
Job of loose fibrous tissue
Binds organs together
Job of dense fibrous tissue
Tendons and ligaments
Job of adipose tissue
Insulation, fat storage, cushioning, and protection
Kinds of special connective tissue
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Blood
In bones of skeleton
Compact Bone
Chondrocytes in lacuna
Hyaline cartilage
Consists of plasma and cells
Blood
Job of muscular tissue
Contracts and is made of fibers
