A collection of similar cells specialized to perform a specific function. The tissues in animals are classified categories.

These are 1. 2. 3. 4. Connective Tissues Epithelium Tissues Muscle Tissues Nervous Tissues

Connective Tissue: Connective tissue serves a "connecting" function. It supports and binds other tissues. Unlike epithelial connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular Connective tissue serves many purposes in the body: Binding Supporting Protecting Forming Blood Storing Fats Filling Space

Types of Connective Tissues

Types of Connective 1. Connective Tissue It is further classified into loose connective tissue (areolar, reticular and adipose) and Dense connective tissue (regularly arran irregularly ar 2. Specialized Connective It includes Bone, Cartilage and Blood.

Epithelial Tissue: Epithelial tissue covers external surfaces and internal cavities and organs. Glands are also composed of e tissue. Epithelial tissue helps to protect organisms from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss. Absorption is an important fun epithelial tissue, Glandular epithelium secretes ch

Types of Epithelial Tissue: Epithelia are commonly classified based on the shape of the cells on the free surface, as well as the nu cell layers. Sample types i Simple Epithelium: A simple epithelium has has a single multiple layer layers of of

Stratified Epithelium: A stratified epithelium On the basis of shape epithelial tissues are following types Columnar Cuboidal Squamous

Muscle Tissue: Muscle tissue contains numerous microfilaments composed of actin and myosin, which are contractile proteins. tissue contracts in response to stimulation. It cannot lengthen by itself but is lengthened by the contraction of other muscles. Muscl is used for locomotion, food movement in gut, and heat pro Types of Muscle Tissue: 1. 2. 3. Smooth Muscle Skeletal Muscle Cardiac Muscle

Nervous Tissue: Nervous tissue is the fourth basic tissue type of the body and is organized into two basic systems 1. 2. The Central Nervous System (CNS) and The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).

The peripheral system: The peripheral system responds to stimuli and sends impulses to the central system (brain and spinal cord impulses are interpreted by the CNS and then other impulses initiated in the CNS travel back through the PNS to effector or produce the proper response.

The basic cell of the nervous system is called a neuron. Structurally, a neuron consists of: 1. 2. 3. The cell body, containing the nucleus and synthetic organelles The axon, a long cytoplasmic process associated with the cell body used to communicate with target organs; and The dendrites, shorter cytoplasmic processes off the cell body used to communicate between neurons.

Nerve Fibres are axons covered by certain sheath. Both in CNS and PNS two types of nerve fibres are found. 1. 2. Myelinated nerve fibres Unmyelinated nerve fibres

Epithelial Cells

Epithelial cells line the surfaces and cavities of tissues and organs throughout the body and also form glands such a mammary and prostate glands. Their main functions include protection, secretion, selective absorption, and transcellular transport. In addition toKeratinocytes, Cell Applications provides a wide range of epithelial cells from respiratory system to reproductive system and include:bladder, bronchial, cervical, mammary, placental , prostate, tracheal,renal, and urethra epithelial cells.

All our epithelial cells are high purity, low passage, rigorously characterized, and performance tested. Epithelial cells are available as either cryovials or as proliferating cells in flasks or multi-well plate formats. For your convenience, cryopreserved epithelial cells are offered as part of user-friendly total kits that include optimized growth media and subculture reagent kits. Furthermore, we also offerantibodies and our high efficiency Cytofect Epithelial Cell Transfection Kit for your convenience.
