Tissues
Nervous, Epithelial, Muscle, and Connective
Nervous Tissue
-Nervous Tissue is located in the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The nervous tissue generates and transmits impulses to and from body organs via neurons. Also, some cells (neuroglia) support, insulate and protect neurons.
Epithelial Tissue
Covering the inside and outside body surfaces, including organs. Also, lines the cavities, tubes, ducts and blood vessels. The function is to protect, absorption, filtration and excretion, secretion, and sensory.
Muscle Tissue
Located in the heart, walls of hollow organs, and associated with skeletal bones. The function is body movement; moves blood, food and waste through body's organs; synchronous contractions of heart beat.
Connective Tissue
Most abundant tissue found throughout body, surrounds and found between organs, and includes adipose, skin, bones, and cartilage, tendons and ligaments, blood. Connective tissue connects, binds and supports structures. Also protects and cushions organs and tissues. There is are six types of connective tissue: bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, loose connective tissue, and blood.
Muscle Tissue is the MOST IMPORTANT!
If we didnt have muscle tissue we wouldnt be able to digest food, move from one place to another or even get blood from our heart to our feet. Our muscles are a very important part of the human body.
