Types of Tissues

The body is composed of various tissue types, each serving distinct functions vital for overall health and functionality. Muscle tissue, including skeletal, smooth, and cardiac types, is essential for movement and the functioning of organs such as the heart.

Types of Tissues

Types of Tissues

Connective Tissue

Bone
Bones
Protects and supports organs
Cartilage
Ears and Nose
Forms support for body and covers the ends of bones
Reticular Tissue
Spleen, Lymphoids
Supports blood cells and lymphoid organs Produces white blood cells
Elastic Tissue
Stomach, lungs, bladder
Supports structures that change size
Dense Tissue
Ligament, tendon, skin
Forms muscles and dermis
Adipose
It's found mainly in fat
Protects the body, insulates, and stores energy
Blood
It's found in vessels, veins, and the heart
Carries products throughout the body to the cells
Loose Connective Tissue
Found in fat and every organ system in the body
Protects the body and holds the organs together

Nervous Tissue

Neurons
Creates neurons Send electrical signals to the body

Epithelial Tissue

Pseudo Stratified Columnar
Lining air passageways and reproductive tubes
Secretion and cilia aided movement
Stratified Cubodial
Salivary glands and sweat glands
Stratified Squamous
Mouth and esophagus
Protection
Simple Columnar
Intestines and stomach
Simple Cubodial
Kidneys
Secretion and absorbtion
Simple Squamous Tissue
Lungs
Diffusion and filtration

Muscle Tissue

Skeletal
Near bones and skin
Pulls on bones to create movement
Cardiac
The heart
Helps the heart pump blood to the body
Smooth
In hollow organs like the stomach
To contract and expand in hollow organs Digest, move blood through the body
