Learning Objectives

• Identify the different tissues of the body

• Describe the different functions of each
• Identify in which part of the body where they can be found
• Identify the different germ layers
tissues

• A collection of cells :
> sharing the same embryonic origin
Morphologic features
Arranged in an orderly pattern
Tissues appear more complicated in more complex animals
Contribute to the health and maintenance of the body
Types of tissues
• Sheets of cells that cover the
surface of the body
• Line internal cavities
• Form certain glands
• They are classified according to
the type of cells and thenumber
of cell layers
• Squamous
• cuboidal
• columnar
muscles

Layers of the skin
Epidermis
Dermis
Subcutaneous tissue
The skin
• Functions of the skin
• Protection
• Water resistance
• Temperature regulation
• Vitamin D synthesis
• Sensation excretion of secretions
 • Dermis
• Support and protect the inner
layers of the skin
• Assist in thermo regulation
aids in sensation
Mainly fibrous tissue : collagen
and elastic fibers
I Divided into papillary and
reticular layers
• Functions of the hypodermis
• > connects the dermis to the
muscles and bones
• Heat storage
• Acts as an insulator
• Protects body from harm
• The hypodermis is yellowish in
color depending on how much
carotene
• It is made up of adipose and
connective tissue
• Conditions that affect the
hypodermis
bed sores burns hypothermia
and tumors
Injection sites

Intradermal
Intramuscular
Transdermal
subcutaneous
Infections of the skin
• petechiae
Vesicles/pustules
