TISSUES OF THE BODY
Key Terms
Histology:
the study of .
Tissues:
groups of cells which are in structure and which perform or related functions.
Four Basic Kinds of Tissues
Epithelial TissueConnective TissueMuscle TissueNervous Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
Functions: Cover all virtually all body surfaces, in and out Lack supply Classified based on
of cells Generally supported on a basement
membrane (& connective tissue)
Epithelial Tissue
Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue: Most & distributed tissue
Connective Tissue Functions: Connects, binds and supports structures Tendons, ligaments, etc.
organs and tissues Insulates (fat) and Transports substances (blood).
Connective Tissue
Examples: Connective Tissue
Proper
lining of digestive tract
Tendons Dermis of skin
Fluid Connective Tissue
Lymph
Supporting Connective Tissue Collagen

Connective Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Muscle Tissue: Associated with the bones of the skeleton, the heart and in
the walls of the hollow organs of the body. Muscle Tissue Functions:
Movement
Maintains posture Produces heat Facial expressions
Muscle Tissue
Types: Smooth – – lack striations----Two types with striations----------- Skeletal – muscle; have cross
striations and responsible for body movement Cardiac – only found in heart – branched cells
bound end to end by intercalated discs
Muscle Tissue
Muscle
Tissue
Nervous Tissue
Nervous Tissue: Main component of the ,
ie., brain, spinal cord & nerves.
Nervous Tissue Functions: Regulates & body functions Generates & transmits nerve Supports, insulates and protects impulse generating
Nerve Tissue

Specific tissue types & representative cell types we will review:
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Squamous Epithelium
Simple – one cell thick
Forms solid layer of cells which line blood vessels, body cavities & cover organs in body cavities
Stratified –
Forms
Cuboidal Epithelium
Simple – one cell thick Roughly shaped
Line ducts in kidneys, etc, where reabsorption and secretory activities take place.
Duct
Cuboid Cells
Duct
Cuboid Cells
Columnar Epithelium
Simple – one cell thick shaped
(long & narrow) Line digestive tract
where & secretion occurs.
Pseudostratified –gives the appearance of more than one layer of columnar epithelial cells
Connective - Adipose
Honeycomb or chickenwire appearance
Insulates Supports & protects
organs
Connective - Bone
Tree ring-like appearance
Fat storage Blood cell production
Connective – Hyaline Cartilage
Supports while providing flexibility
Absorbs compression between bones in joints (articularcartilage)
Holds open respiratory passages
Most abundant type of cartilage in body
Muscle - Skeletal Muscle fibers (cells) long, parallel & cylindrical
With many nuclei (multinucleate)
Striations (cross stripes run perpendicular to the cells
Heat
Specific Nervous Tissue TypesNervous – Neuron
Branching cells with many long processes
Large central nucleus Transmit impulses
from one area of the body to other areas
Regulate activities through
