☆Question:-
What is a tissue? How many types of tissues?
☆Answer:-
A tissue, in biology, is defined as a group of cells that possess a similar structure and perform a specific function. The word tissue originates from French, which means “to weave.”
●Types of tissue:
•In animals, there are 4 types of tissues, namely:-
- Muscle tissue (cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle tissues).
- Connective tissue (cartilage, blood, bone).
- Nervous tissue (neurons and neuroglia).
- Epithelial tissue (simple epithelium, simple cuboidal, simple columnar epithelium, etc).
•Plants have their own set of tissues, namely:-
- Dermal Tissues (epidermal cells, stomata, trichomes).
- Ground tissues (Collenchyma, parenchyma, sclerenchymaissues).
- Connective tissue (cartilage, blood, bone).
- Nervous tissue (neurons and neuroglia).
- Epithelial tissue (simple epithelium).
●Concept of Tissues:
The concept of tissues can be traced back to 1801 when it was introduced by Xavier Bichat, a French anatomist and pathologist. He had proposed that tissues are a central element in human anatomy, concluding that organs are essentially a collection of distinct tissues.
