However‚ tissue also contains two other components i.e. ground substance (or matrix) and fibres. Despite the complexity of

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?

potentially fatal consequences. Relative indications to the procedure include anatomical abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal tract (i.e. esophagus‚ stomach and duodenum). Anatomical abnormalities include‚ but are not limited to strictures‚ herniation‚ volvulus and obstruction. Patients with coagulopathies and those who present with acute pancreatitis are also placed into this category. The exception in acute pancreatitis is if it is caused by gallstones and stone removal is necessary with ERCP
