modification that sweeps
the mucus)
ANIMAL TISSUES
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Blood Bone
Connective
Tissue Proper
cartilage
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
Blood made up of plasma:
contains water, salts and dissolve
proteins, erythrocytes that carry
oxygen (RBC), leukocytes for
defense (WBC), and platelets for
blood
clotting.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
Connective
Tissue
Proper
(CTP)
made up of loose
connective tissue that is found in
the skin and fibrous connective
tissue that is made up of
collagenous fibers found in
tendons and
ligaments.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
Cartilage characterized by collagenous
fibers embedded
in chondroitin sulfate.
Cartilage functions are cushion
between bones.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
Bone mineralized connective tissue
made by bone-forming
cells called osteoblasts which
deposits collagen
BONE
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
Muscle
Tissue
These tissues are composed of
long cells called muscle fibers
that allow the body to move
voluntary or involuntary. This
tissue is responsible for
movements in our body
MUSCLE TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
A. Skeletal striated: voluntary movements,
attached to the
skeleton
B. Cardiac involuntary, located in the walls
of the heart
MUSCLE TISSUE
TISSUE NAME FUNCTION
A. Smooth not striated; involuntary, located
in walls of hollow visceral
organs
MUSCLE TISSUE
MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
The cells differentiate into
new tissue of
the plant. Meristematic tissue
is found at the meristems of
plants
MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
Apical
meristem
Lateral
meristem
are located at the growing points at the tips
of roots and stems and results in an increase
in the length of these structures.
MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
Apical
meristem
Lateral
meristem
results in the growth in thickness or width
of woody roots and stems. This tissue is
also called cambium

This is the outermost layer of cells
that covers the roots, stems, and
leaves.

epidermal cells that
occur on
either side of a
stoma
PERMANENT TISSUE
Root
Hair
cells
The hair
functions to increase
the surface area of the
root to maximize the
uptake of water and
nutrients.
PERMANENT TISSUE
Vascular
tissue
functions to
transport and
support.
PERMANENT TISSUE
xylem
tissue
transport water and
mineral salts from the
ground water through
the roots to the stems
and leaves.
CELL MODIFICATION
Adaptations or changes acquired by
the cell after cell division that aids
the cell in various beneficial ways
CILIA
• Hair-like organelles
Types of cilia
• Non-motile or
primary cilia
(sensory)
• Motile (movement)
FLAGELLA
• Long, whip-like
structures made
of protein
filaments
• Aids in
movement
VILLI OR MICROVILLI
• Small, slender,
vascular, finger-like
projections
• Increases surface
area to increase
absorption
PSEUDOPODS
• “false feet”
• Temporary extension
of the cytoplasm
• Movement and
ingestion
(phagocytosis)
