ANIMAL TISSUES 1. Classify the animal tissues. On the basis of the function they perform‚ animal tissues are classified into four different types. They are: i) Epithelial tissue ii) Connective tissue iii) Muscular tissue iv) Nervous tissue 2. What are epithelial tissues? What are the characteristic features of these tissues? The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are called epithelial tissues. They also perform the functions of secretion and absorption

Histology This lab focused on the examination and identification of tissues that make up the organs of the body. The tissues are divided into four main categories: epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle‚ and neuronal. Click on the thumbnail images to see a larger version. All of the photomicrographs were taken using the 40X objective (400X magnification)‚ which is the highest magnification we use in this lab. Other resources include linked web pages on the "Resources" page and the histology tutorial

There are three different types of epithelial tissues that are found inside the human body. There is the cutaneous membrane (tissue)‚ which we would refer to as “skin”. This part is the only epithelial tissue that is touched by air and is dry. The cutaneous membrane is composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium. The second is the mucous membrane‚ which is the tissue used for absorption and secretion‚ protective lubricating mucus in the repertory and digestive system. This membrane

Epithelia form the surface of the skin‚ line the various cavities and tubes of the body‚ and cover the internal organs. Subsets of Epithelia Epithelia that form the interface between the internal and external environments. Skin as well as the lining of the mouth and nasal cavity. These are derived from ectoderm.

The lungs are made up of many types of tissue; the cartilages‚ ciliated epithelium‚ smooth muscle‚ squamous epithelium‚ elastic fibres and goblet cells and glandular tissue. The cartilage is a very stiff and flexible tissue‚ which doesn’t contain air vessels. It is found in trachea‚ bronchus‚ bronchiole and alveolus‚ and it has a structural role. It support‚ and gives strength to trachea and bronchi. It holds the airways open for the resistance with little airway. This prevents it from collapse

What is the hierarchy of structural order in living organisms? * Atom‚ molecule‚ cells‚ tissue‚ organ‚ organ system‚ organism 2. 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

December 18th‚ 2013 Block 8 Body Tissues Essay There are four major categories of tissues in the human body. Each of them separate into even smaller groups with specific structures and functions. The four major types are epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. They are all necessities of the human body and contribute to many functions our bodies and cells carry out in order to survive. Tissues interact and group together to make up organs which then compose systems
