Definition
TISSUES are a groups of cells that are:
Similar in structure
Perform a common or related function

Epithelial Tissue
Two types:
1. Covering/Lining Epithelium: forms outer layer of skin and
internal structures
2. Glandular Epithelium: forms glands of body

Epithelial Tissue
Functions of Epithelia:
1. Protection
2. Absorption
3. Filtration
4. Excretion
5. Secretion
6. Sensory reception
Epithelial Tissue: Basic Structure
Two types:
1. Unicellular: scattered within epithelial
sheets(ie. Mucous and Goblet cells)
2. Multicellular: contain secretory unit + duct
and many epithelial cells
Unicellular Glandular Epithelia
Connective Tissue
Supports body structures.
Four types:
1. Connective Tissue Proper
2. Cartilage
3. Bone
4. Blood
Connective Tissue
Functions:
Resists tension/mechanical
stress
Fat storage
1. Loose
Areolar
Adipose
Reticular
2. Dense
Regular
Irregular
Elastic
Connective Tissue: Cartilage
Functions:
Resists compression
(high level of water in
matrix)

Connective Tissue: Cartilage
Three types:
1. Hyaline
2. - in the nose
3. Elastic
4. - maintains shape
5. Fibrocartilage- lower
concentation of water.-
not a lot of movement
Connective Tissue: Bone
Functions:
Very hard; resists
compression and tension
Support

Connective Tissue: Bone
Two types:
1. Compact- very heavy.
2. Spongy – it has a lot of
holes and looks like a
sponge

Connective Tissue: Blood
Functions:
Fluid tissue
• Highly vascularized

Nervous Tissue
Main component of Nervous
System: Brain, Spinal Cord,
Nerves

Membranes
• Composed of several tissue types (always
epithelial and connective at the very least)
• Line the body or body cavities
• Provide protective layer(s)
• Absorption/secretion
Three types:
1. Cutaneous
2. Mucous
3. Serous
