ANIMAL TISSUES
• The structure of the cells vary according to
their function
• Therefore, the tissues are different and are
broadly classified into four types :
(i) Epithelial
(ii) Connective
(iii) Muscular
(iv) Neural
Epithelial Tissue
• This tissue has a free surface, which faces
either a body fluid or the outside environment
and thus provides a covering or a lining for
some part of the body
• There are two types of epithelial tissues
simple epithelium
compound epithelium
• Simple epithelium is composed of a single
layer of cells and functions as a lining for body
cavities, ducts, and tubes.
• The compound epithelium consists of two or
more cell layers and has protective function as
it does in our skin.
• On the basis of structural modification of the
cells, simple epithelium is further divided into
three types.
 Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
• The squamous
epithelium is made of a
single thin layer of
flattened cells with
irregular boundaries.
• They are found in
 walls of blood vessels
and
 air sacs of lungs
• are involved in
functions like forming a
diffusion boundary
• The cuboidal epithelium
is composed of a single
layer of cube-like cells
• This is commonly found in
 ducts of glands
 tubular parts of nephrons
in kidneys
• its main functions are
secretion and absorption
• The epithelium of
proximal convoluted
tubule of nephron in the
kidney has microvilli.
• The columnar
epithelium is composed
of a single layer of tall
and slender cells
• Their nuclei are located
at the base
• Free surface may have
microvilli
• They are found in the
lining of stomach and
intestine
• Help in secretion and
absorption
• If the columnar or
cuboidal cells bear cilia
on their free surface they
are called ciliated
epithelium
• Their function is to move
particles or mucus in a
specific direction over the
epithelium
• They are mainly present
in the inner surface of
hollow organs like
bronchioles and fallopian
tubes
• Some of the columnar
or cuboidal cells get
specialised for secretion
and are called glandular
epithelium
• They are mainly of two
types:
• unicellular, consisting
of isolated glandular
cells (goblet cells of the
alimentary canal)
• multicellular, consisting
of cluster of cells
(salivary gland)
• On the basis of the mode of pouring of their
secretions, glands are divided into two categories
namely exocrine and endocrine glands
• Exocrine glands secrete mucus, saliva, earwax, oil,
milk, digestive enzymes and other cell products
• These products are released through ducts or
tubes
• In contrast, endocrine glands do not have ducts
• Their products called hormones are secreted
directly into the fluid bathing the gland
Compound Epithelium
• It is made of more than one layer (multi-
layered) of cells and thus has a limited role in
secretion and absorption
• Their main function is to provide protection
against chemical and mechanical stresses
They cover the dry surface of the skin
the moist surface of buccal cavity
pharynx
inner lining of ducts of salivary glands
and of pancreatic ducts
• All cells in epithelium are held together with
little intercellular material
• In nearly all animal tissues, specialised
junctions provide both structural and
functional links between its individual cells
• Three types of cell junctions are found in the
epithelium and other tissues
• These are called as
 tight junctions
adhering junctions
gap junctions
• Tight junctions help to
stop substances from
leaking across a tissue.
• Adhering junctions
perform cementing to
keep neighbouring cells
together
• Gap junctions facilitate
the cells to communicate
with each other by
connecting the cytoplasm
of adjoining cells, for
rapid transfer of ions,
small molecules and
sometimes big molecules
Connective Tissue
• Connective tissues are most abundant and widely
distributed in the body of complex animals
• They are named connective tissues because of their
special function of linking and supporting other
tissues/organs of the body
• They range from soft connective tissues to specialised
types, which include
• cartilage
• bone
• adipose
• blood
• In all connective tissues except blood, the cells
secrete fibres of structural proteins called
collagen or elastin
• The fibres provide strength, elasticity and
flexibility to the tissue
• These cells also secrete modified polysaccharides,
which accumulate between cells and fibres and
act as matrix
• Connective tissues are classified into three types:
(i) Loose connective tissue
(ii) Dense connective tissue
(iii) Specialised connective tissue
• Loose connective tissue has cells and fibres
loosely arranged in a semi-fluid ground
substance, for example, areolar tissue present
beneath the skin
• Often it serves as a support framework for
epithelium
• It contains fibroblasts (cells that produce and
secrete fibres), macrophages and mast cells
• Adipose tissue is another type of loose
connective tissue located mainly beneath the skin
• The cells of this tissue are specialised to store fats
• The excess of nutrients which are not used
immediately are converted into fats and are
stored in this tissue
Dense connective tissue
• Fibres and fibroblasts are compactly packed in
the dense connective tissues.
• Orientation of fibres show a regular pattern
and are called dense regular tissues
• The collagen fibres are present in rows
between many parallel bundles of fibres
• Tendons, which attach skeletal muscles to
bones
• Ligaments which attach one bone to another
are examples of this tissue
• Dense irregular
connective tissue has
fibroblasts and many
fibres (mostly collagen)
that are oriented
differently
• This tissue is present in
the skin
• Cartilage, bones and
blood are various types
of specialised
connective tissues
Cartilage
• The intercellular material of cartilage is solid
and pliable and resists compression
• Most of the cartilages in vertebrate embryos
are replaced by bones in adults.
• Cartilage is present in the tip of nose, outer
ear joints, between adjacent bones of the
vertebral column, limbs and hands in adults.
Bones
• Bones have a hard and non-pliable ground substance
rich in calcium salts and collagen fibres which give
bone its strength
• It is the main tissue that provides structural frame to
the body
• Bones support and protect softer tissues and organs
• The bone cells (osteocytes) are present in the spaces
called lacunae
• Limb bones, such as the long bones of the legs, serve
weight-bearing functions
• They also interact with skeletal muscles attached to
them to bring about movements
• The bone marrow in some bones is the site of
production of blood cells
Blood
• Blood is a fluid connective tissue containing
 plasma
red blood cells (RBC)
white blood cells (WBC)
platelets
• It is the main circulating fluid that helps in the
transport of various substances
Muscle Tissue
• Each muscle is made of many long, cylindrical fibres
arranged in parallel arrays
• These fibres are composed of numerous fine fibrils,
called myofibrils
• Muscle fibres contract (shorten) in response to
stimulation, then relax (lengthen) and return to their
uncontracted state in a coordinated fashion
• Their action moves the body to adjust to the changes
in the environment and to maintain the positions of
the various parts of the body
• In general, muscles play an active role in all the
movements of the body
• Muscles are of three types, skeletal, smooth, and
cardiac
• Skeletal muscle tissue is
closely attached to
skeletal bones
• In a typical muscle such
as the biceps, striated
(striped) skeletal muscle
fibres are bundled
together in a parallel
fashion
• A sheath of tough
connective tissue
encloses several
bundles of muscle
fibres
• The smooth muscle fibres
taper at both ends (fusiform)
and do not show striations
• Cell junctions hold them
together and they are bundled
together in a connective tissue
sheath
• The wall of internal organs
such as the blood vessels,
stomach and intestine
contains this type of muscle
tissue
• Smooth muscles are
‘involuntary’ as their
functioning cannot be directly
controlled
• We usually are not able to
make it contract merely by
thinking about it as we can do
with skeletal muscles
• Cardiac muscle tissue is a
contractile tissue present
only in the heart.
• Cell junctions fuse the
plasma membranes of
cardiac muscle cells and
make them stick together
• Communication junctions
at some fusion points
allow the cells to contract
as a unit, i.e., when one
cell receives a signal to
contract, its neighbours
are also stimulated to
contract
Neural Tissue
• Neural tissue exerts the greatest control over the
body’s responsiveness to changing conditions
• Neurons, the unit of neural system are excitable
cells
• The neuroglial cell which constitute the rest of
the neural system protect and support neurons
• Neuroglia make up more than one-half the
volume of neural tissue in our body.

Animal tissue

  • 1.
  • 2. ANIMAL TISSUES • The structure of the cells vary according to their function • Therefore, the tissues are different and are broadly classified into four types : (i) Epithelial (ii) Connective (iii) Muscular (iv) Neural
  • 3. Epithelial Tissue • This tissue has a free surface, which faces either a body fluid or the outside environment and thus provides a covering or a lining for some part of the body • There are two types of epithelial tissues simple epithelium compound epithelium
  • 4. • Simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells and functions as a lining for body cavities, ducts, and tubes. • The compound epithelium consists of two or more cell layers and has protective function as it does in our skin.
  • 5. • On the basis of structural modification of the cells, simple epithelium is further divided into three types.  Squamous Cuboidal Columnar
  • 6. • The squamous epithelium is made of a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries. • They are found in  walls of blood vessels and  air sacs of lungs • are involved in functions like forming a diffusion boundary
  • 7. • The cuboidal epithelium is composed of a single layer of cube-like cells • This is commonly found in  ducts of glands  tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys • its main functions are secretion and absorption • The epithelium of proximal convoluted tubule of nephron in the kidney has microvilli.
  • 8. • The columnar epithelium is composed of a single layer of tall and slender cells • Their nuclei are located at the base • Free surface may have microvilli • They are found in the lining of stomach and intestine • Help in secretion and absorption
  • 9. • If the columnar or cuboidal cells bear cilia on their free surface they are called ciliated epithelium • Their function is to move particles or mucus in a specific direction over the epithelium • They are mainly present in the inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles and fallopian tubes
  • 10. • Some of the columnar or cuboidal cells get specialised for secretion and are called glandular epithelium • They are mainly of two types: • unicellular, consisting of isolated glandular cells (goblet cells of the alimentary canal) • multicellular, consisting of cluster of cells (salivary gland)
  • 11. • On the basis of the mode of pouring of their secretions, glands are divided into two categories namely exocrine and endocrine glands • Exocrine glands secrete mucus, saliva, earwax, oil, milk, digestive enzymes and other cell products • These products are released through ducts or tubes • In contrast, endocrine glands do not have ducts • Their products called hormones are secreted directly into the fluid bathing the gland
  • 12. Compound Epithelium • It is made of more than one layer (multi- layered) of cells and thus has a limited role in secretion and absorption
  • 13. • Their main function is to provide protection against chemical and mechanical stresses They cover the dry surface of the skin the moist surface of buccal cavity pharynx inner lining of ducts of salivary glands and of pancreatic ducts
  • 14. • All cells in epithelium are held together with little intercellular material • In nearly all animal tissues, specialised junctions provide both structural and functional links between its individual cells • Three types of cell junctions are found in the epithelium and other tissues • These are called as  tight junctions adhering junctions gap junctions
  • 15. • Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue. • Adhering junctions perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together • Gap junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules
  • 16. Connective Tissue • Connective tissues are most abundant and widely distributed in the body of complex animals • They are named connective tissues because of their special function of linking and supporting other tissues/organs of the body • They range from soft connective tissues to specialised types, which include • cartilage • bone • adipose • blood
  • 17. • In all connective tissues except blood, the cells secrete fibres of structural proteins called collagen or elastin • The fibres provide strength, elasticity and flexibility to the tissue • These cells also secrete modified polysaccharides, which accumulate between cells and fibres and act as matrix • Connective tissues are classified into three types: (i) Loose connective tissue (ii) Dense connective tissue (iii) Specialised connective tissue
  • 18. • Loose connective tissue has cells and fibres loosely arranged in a semi-fluid ground substance, for example, areolar tissue present beneath the skin • Often it serves as a support framework for epithelium • It contains fibroblasts (cells that produce and secrete fibres), macrophages and mast cells • Adipose tissue is another type of loose connective tissue located mainly beneath the skin • The cells of this tissue are specialised to store fats • The excess of nutrients which are not used immediately are converted into fats and are stored in this tissue
  • 19.
  • 20. Dense connective tissue • Fibres and fibroblasts are compactly packed in the dense connective tissues. • Orientation of fibres show a regular pattern and are called dense regular tissues • The collagen fibres are present in rows between many parallel bundles of fibres • Tendons, which attach skeletal muscles to bones • Ligaments which attach one bone to another are examples of this tissue
  • 21. • Dense irregular connective tissue has fibroblasts and many fibres (mostly collagen) that are oriented differently • This tissue is present in the skin • Cartilage, bones and blood are various types of specialised connective tissues
  • 22. Cartilage • The intercellular material of cartilage is solid and pliable and resists compression • Most of the cartilages in vertebrate embryos are replaced by bones in adults. • Cartilage is present in the tip of nose, outer ear joints, between adjacent bones of the vertebral column, limbs and hands in adults.
  • 23. Bones • Bones have a hard and non-pliable ground substance rich in calcium salts and collagen fibres which give bone its strength • It is the main tissue that provides structural frame to the body • Bones support and protect softer tissues and organs • The bone cells (osteocytes) are present in the spaces called lacunae • Limb bones, such as the long bones of the legs, serve weight-bearing functions • They also interact with skeletal muscles attached to them to bring about movements • The bone marrow in some bones is the site of production of blood cells
  • 24. Blood • Blood is a fluid connective tissue containing  plasma red blood cells (RBC) white blood cells (WBC) platelets • It is the main circulating fluid that helps in the transport of various substances
  • 25. Muscle Tissue • Each muscle is made of many long, cylindrical fibres arranged in parallel arrays • These fibres are composed of numerous fine fibrils, called myofibrils • Muscle fibres contract (shorten) in response to stimulation, then relax (lengthen) and return to their uncontracted state in a coordinated fashion • Their action moves the body to adjust to the changes in the environment and to maintain the positions of the various parts of the body • In general, muscles play an active role in all the movements of the body • Muscles are of three types, skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
  • 26. • Skeletal muscle tissue is closely attached to skeletal bones • In a typical muscle such as the biceps, striated (striped) skeletal muscle fibres are bundled together in a parallel fashion • A sheath of tough connective tissue encloses several bundles of muscle fibres
  • 27. • The smooth muscle fibres taper at both ends (fusiform) and do not show striations • Cell junctions hold them together and they are bundled together in a connective tissue sheath • The wall of internal organs such as the blood vessels, stomach and intestine contains this type of muscle tissue • Smooth muscles are ‘involuntary’ as their functioning cannot be directly controlled • We usually are not able to make it contract merely by thinking about it as we can do with skeletal muscles
  • 28. • Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present only in the heart. • Cell junctions fuse the plasma membranes of cardiac muscle cells and make them stick together • Communication junctions at some fusion points allow the cells to contract as a unit, i.e., when one cell receives a signal to contract, its neighbours are also stimulated to contract
  • 29. Neural Tissue • Neural tissue exerts the greatest control over the body’s responsiveness to changing conditions • Neurons, the unit of neural system are excitable cells • The neuroglial cell which constitute the rest of the neural system protect and support neurons • Neuroglia make up more than one-half the volume of neural tissue in our body.
