Tissue Types STUDY GUID

What are the four major types of tissue? What are their general functions?

• Connective tissue - connect different parts and protects organs

• Epithelial tissue - covering in body

• Muscle tissue - enable movement

• Nervous tissue - transmission of information throughout body

• Body tissue - helps outside layer tissue

Define tissue

• A group of cells that have similar structure and that function together

• A group of cells working separately

• A group of cells with similarities structure working in different parts of the body

What is the basement membrane

• A sheet of proteins and other substances that the epithelial cells adhere and that forms a barrier between tissues.

• A sheet of protein that is the epithelial cells

• A sheet of protein containing epithelial cells that forms a barrier between tissue

How is epithelial tissue named

• By the shape

• By the shape of the cell and number of cell layers

• By the layers and colors

What are the three epithelial shapes

• squamous, cuboidal, and columnar

• Simple, cuboidal, and columnar

What are the differences between simplified and stratified epithelium

• simple epithelial tissue has only one cell layer. Stratified epithelial tissue has two or more cell layers piled upon each other

• The are the same and have the same number of tissue layers

• Simplified has 1 while stratified has 10

What are the two types of nerve cells

• Neurons and glial cell

• Neurons snd protons

• Neurons and epithelial

What are three types of muscle tissue and characteristics of each

• Skeletal muscle- moves bone and other structures

• Cardiac - contracts the heart to pump blood

• Smooth - helps organs move to facilitate bodily functions

• Cranial- helps brain processes information
