In Histology, “Histos” means?
Tissue
The study of the tissues of the body and how these tissue are arranged to constitute organs.
Histology
The study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals.

What are the 6 types of tissues in Human?
- Connective tissues
- Skeletal muscle
- Epithelial tissue
- Nervous tissue
- Cardiac muscle
- Smooth muscle
A type of tissue that belongs to the external surfaces of the body
Epithelial tissue
A type of tissue that line the internal cavities and the organs that also form various organs and glands; line in their ducts
Epithelial tissue
What are the 8 types of Epithelial tissues?

- Simple Cuboidal
- Simple Columnar
- Transitional
- Stratified Squamous
- Stratified Cuboidal

Trachea
It is a type of Epithelial tissues that lines various ducts of glands and organs, where it covers the surface for sturdiness and protection.
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
It covers the surface of the stomach
Simple Columnar Epithelium
In the peritoneal cavity, it reduces friction between visceral organs by producing lubricating fluids and transport fluid.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
In the lungs, this type of epithelium provides for an efficient means of gas exchange or transport between the thin-walled capillaries and alveoli.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
What is the main function of the epithelium in the small intestine?
Absorption of nutrients
It absorb nutrients and fluids from the intestinal contents
Microvilli
4 Major Types of Tissues
- Muscle tissue
- Nerve tissue
- Epithelial tissue
- Connective tissue
