What is types of tissue???
Answers
There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).
____________
Epithelial Tissue
Features - high cellularity, special sensory receptors, forms a barrier, avascular, innervated
Surfaces - basal (hemidesmosomes, basement membrane), apical (lumen, microvilli, cilia, stereocilia), lateral (adhering junctions, tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions)
Types - squamous, cuboidal, columnar, simple, stratified, pseudostratified, specialized
____________
Connective Tissue
Structure - cells (structural, immunological, defense, energy reservoirs), extracellular matrix (ground substance, protein fibers)
Types of fibers - collagen, reticular, elastic
Classification - proper (dense, loose), embryonic (mesenchyme, mucous), specialized (cartilage, adipose, bone, blood)
____________
Muscle Tissue
Features - elastic, extensible, contractile
Types - skeletal, cardiac (gap junctions, intercalated discs), smooth, striated, nonstriated
____________
Nervous Tissue
Neurons - soma, dendrites, axons, ganglia (PNS), nuclei (CNS)
Glia - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, microglia - blood-brain barrier
