Classification of Epithelial Tissue Location of Epithelium The four basic tissue types in the body are the epithelial‚ connective‚ muscular‚ and nervous tissue. These tissues exist and function in close association with one another. The epithelial tissue‚ or epithelium‚ consists of sheets of cells that cover the external surfaces of the body‚ line the internal cavities‚ form various organs and glands‚ and line their ducts. Epithelial cells are in contact with each other‚ either in a single

Why is it important to understand “structure – function” relationships? How do the structure and function of the tissues apply to this concept? * It is important to know structure and function relationships so that you will understand how everything works together. * With tissues it is important to

Types of epithelial tissue Connective tissue -Connective tissues are fibrous tissues. They are comprised of cells separated by non-living material‚ which is called extracellular matrix. Connective tissue holds other tissues together such as in the formation of organs‚ and has the ability to stretch and contract passively. Bone‚ often referred to as osseous tissue‚ and blood are examples of specialized connective tissues. Conective tissues are cells that are suspended in a matrix of their own secretions

Task 1- tissues Tissues are groups of similar cells which have a similar structure and function. All of these cells work together to complete various tasks. There are four different types of tissues in the human body that I am going to give examples of. These include the epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ collagenous tissue and the nerve tissue. The first time of tissue is the epithelium tissue which has the function of helping to protect the body. There are four main types of epithelium tissues;

Overview on Tissue Epithelial Tissue: Epithelial tissue is one of the four major tissue type in the body. It covers the whole surface of our body. The tissue is specialized to form a covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Your skin is composed of epithelial tissue. It also lines your body’s cavities and major organs. If its two or more cells thick such as think skin‚ its known as stratified epithelium. Simple epithelium can be subdivided accordingly to the shape and function

The collection and use of human tissue samples‚ from the deceased or living‚ is a practice doctors and surgeons perform to be able to undergo research on diseases‚ cancers‚ and the functionality of tissues in the human body. While there are many issues surrounding the use of human cells and tissues in scientific research‚ the main problem pertains to morality and subsequently ownership and consent. Laws today state that patients must give consent to donate tissue samples to doctors for this procedure

Your skin‚ for example‚ is a formidable barrier against many things. Skin is created when the basal cells in skin are dividing by the process of mitosis and‚ as division takes place‚ the cells get pushed upwards. As a result‚ the newer cells tend to stay near the bottom of the epithelial tissue‚ and the older cells get pushed upward and eventually are

Plant Tissues A mature vascular plant (any plant other than mosses and liverworts)‚ contains several types of differentiated cells. These are grouped together in tissues. Some tissues contain only one type of cell. Some consist of several. Meristematic The main function of meristematic tissue is mitosis. The cells are small‚ thin-walled‚ with no central vacuole and no specialized features. Meristematic tissue is located in • the apical meristems at the growing points of roots and stems. • the
