    There are four main types of tissues in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue lines organs and body cavities, performing functions like protection, diffusion, and sensation. Connective tissue binds and supports other tissues and includes bones, blood, and cartilage. Muscle tissue contracts and relaxes to cause movement, with three major types being cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle. Nervous tissue is composed of neurons that transmit electrical signals around the body and makes up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

    Basic Body Tissue

    Dan Agulto

    Human Body Tissue


    A tissue is a group of almost the
    same cells with a common
    designed to do a specific action.
    There are 4 main tissue types:
    -Epithelial Tissue
    -Connective Tissue
    -Muscle Tissue
    Nervous Tissue

    Epithelial Tissue
    Tightly packed cells that line
    organs & body cavities
    Lines internal and external
    surfaces
    Functions of Epithelial Tissue:
    -Cleaning
    -Protection
    -Diffusion
    -Sensory

    Connective Tissue
    Animal tissue that functions
    mainly to find and support other
    tissues
    Examples of Connective Tissues:
    -Bones
    -Blood
    -Cartilage
    -Tendons

    Muscle Tissue
    Relax and contract to cause
    movement
    3 major types of muscle
    tissue:
    -Cardiac Muscle
    -Skeleton Muscle
    -Smooth Muscle

    Nervous Tissue
    -Composed of special cells
    called neurons that send &
    receive electrical signals in
    the body
    -Makes up the brain spinal
    cord and nerves
