There are four main types of tissues in the animal body - epithelial tissue, which covers and protects the body and lines internal organs; nervous tissue, which controls body functions and responses to internal and external changes; muscular tissue, consisting of contractile cells that enable body movement; and connective tissue, which connects or supports other tissues, including bone, cartilage, fibrous tissues, blood and more. Connective tissues are the most diverse and abundant in the body.

1. DIFFERENT TYPES OF TISSUES

2. ANIMAL TISSUES

3. EPITHELIAL TISSUE
• Covers & protects the body
• Lines the inner wall of the digestive tract
• Functions:- protection, absorption &
production of secretions.

4. NERVOUS TISSUE
• Controls & coordinates physiological
functions.
• Enables to respond identifying the
changes inside and outside the body.

5. MUSCULAR TISSUE
• Consists of cells that can contract &
regain the original state.
• Enables the movement of the body.

6. CONNECTIVE TISSUE
• Either connects different tissues or acts
as a support to them.
• Examples:- Tendons that connect
muscles to the bones, ligaments that
connect bones together & fibrous tissues
that hold the eyes & kidneys in the
proper place.

7. • Bone, cartilage, fibrous tissue, blood, etc
are various connective tissues.
• Bone and cartilage provide support,
protection & shape to the body.
• Fibrous tissue connects other tissues.
• Blood, the fluid tissue, also belongs to
the group of connective tissues.
• Blood carries out various functions like
transporting respiratory gases &
nutrients, providing immunity,etc.

8. • Connective tissues are the most diverse
& largest in our body.
