(deoxyribonucleic acid)
Control formation of
enzymes (needed for
metabolic reactions)
Four basic types
Epithelial
Covers and protects body
structures, lines organs,
vessels, and cavities
Simple: Single layer, absorbs
substances from one system
to another
Stratified: multiple layers,
protects deeper tissue
Four basic types
Connective
Supports and binds body structures
Muscle (root: my/o)
Contracts to produce movement
Three types: skeletal, cardiac, smooth/visceral
Nervous (root: neur/o)
Makes up brain, spinal cord and nerves
Coordinates body responses by transmission of electrical
impulses
Simplest tissue
Mucous membranes: secrete mucus
Serous membranes: secrete watery fluid, line body
cavities and cover organs
Fibrous membranes: cover and support organs
Organs
Comprised of tissues
Grouped into systems
Systems
Have specific function
Work together, not independently
Goal of systems: homeostasis
