HUMAN TISSUES

BY: DONOVAN VALDEZ

TYPES OF TISSUES AND THE FUNCTIONS

FUNCTION OF MUSCLE TISSUE

Muscle Function
Posture
Movement
Joint Stability
Heat generator

DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSCLE CELLS

Smooth muscle cells:
Located in walls of hallow
organs except for the heart
Cardiac muscle cells:
Located in the walls of the
heart
Skeletal muscle cells:
Attached fibers to the skeleton

WHAT DOES NERVE TISSUE DO?

Nerve tissue is located through out your
body
Monitors change inside and outside the
body
Sends out movement instructions and is
responsible for sending sympathetic
signals

DIFFERENT TYPES OF NERVE TISSUES

Brain
Integrates Information
Maintains Information
Spinal Cord:
Spinal signals carry information
to and from the spinal cord

THE JOB OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Gives support to the body and organs
Connective tissue is also known as the
extracellular matrix
Consists of extracellular fibers
Which consists of tissue fluid

TYPES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Bone
Very hard Material
Tendons
Attached to bone Muscle
Very Dense
Areolar Tissue
Allows some movement
Hypoderms
Directly under the skin
Contains lot of fat

THE USE OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE

Functions
Protection for are body from the
world
Bound together between sheets of
tissue
Cells are tightly backed together

TYPES OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE

Examples:
Simple Squamous
Very Thin tissue
Allows material to pass through
Not very protective
Simple Cubaidal
Little protection
Prevalent when material must be
secreted and absorbed
Simple columnar
Some protection
Underlying tissue
