Animal Tissues

Epithelial tissue
• Simple (single layer)
cuboidal (cube shape)

• Simple columnar
(single layer of
column shape)
 Nervous Tissue
• Neuron (nerve cell): Cell body, dendrite,
axon. Glial cells support the neuron
Neurotransmitter crosses synapse
 Schwann
cells make
up the myelin
sheath.
Impulse
jumps from
node to node
3 types of
muscle
tissue:
skeletal,
smooth,
cardiac
• Striations Intercalated discs
• Loose connective tissue (under skin and
epithelial tissue)
 Bone
• Haversian canal
with blood vessel
and nerve
• Lacuna openings
with osteocytes
in them
• Calcium
carbonate matrix
 Blood:
Erythrocytes
, red blood
cells

• Hemoglobin carries oxygen

• No nucleus
• Made in bone marrow
Leukocytes: White blood cells
 Thrombocytes: platelets
• Platelets adhering to damaged vessel
Blood composition
• RBC (hematocrit)
40%
• WBC 1%
• Platelets 1%
• Plasma 58%
Tendon: bone to muscle
More flexible and thicker
Ligament: bone to bone
Not as flexible or thick
