Animal tissue types
• What is a tissue?
• A cooperative unit of many very similar
cells that perform a specific function.
• Examples
–
–

–
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Epithelial tissue
• Covers and lines the body and its parts
• One surface free, the other bound to
basement membrane
• Tissues are named by
– Shape of cells
– Number of layers of cells

Simple = single layer
Stratified = multiple layers
Squamous = flat (tiles)
Cuboidal = like dice
Columnar = like bricks

Lines the air ways in the respiratory system
Connective tissue
• Binds other tissues an provides support
matrices
• Few cells in a nonliving matrix
• Three fiber types
– Collagen fibers
– Elastic fibers
– Reticular fibers
• Fibroblasts - cells that produce connective
tissue
Loose connective tissue
(Areolar) Campbell

Adipose
Cartilage
Blood
Bone
Tendons
Dense connective tissue that
Attaches muscle to bone
Like Campbell

Bone Tissue
• Osteocytes
• Haversian canal
• Lamelle (matrix)

Bone Development
Muscle tissue
• Functions in movement
• Bundles of long cells ( muscle fiber= muscle cell)
• Skeletal muscle
– Attached to bones by tendons, produces voluntary
movement
– Striated unbranched
• Smooth muscle
– Found in walls of digestive tract, produces involuntary
movements
– Unstriated, spindle shaped
• Cardiac Muscle
– Striated , branched, produces heartbeat
Muscle tissue

Nervous Tissue
• Responsible for coordinating body activties
• Neurons are nerve cells
• Motor neurons are nerves that activate
muscles
• Sensory neurons transmit information
• Composed of cell body and dendrites
• Supported by glial cells
