This document provides an overview of the four major types of animal tissue: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. It discusses the structure and functions of each tissue type. Epithelial tissue covers and lines body surfaces and forms glands. Connective tissue binds organs together and provides support. Muscle tissue enables movement and includes three types: smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. Nervous tissue is composed of neurons that sense stimuli and transmit electrical signals throughout the body.

2. WHAT IS TISSUE
*Specialized cell of the same type that perform a common
function in the body.
*Life begins as a single cell called as zygote after fertilization.
*This cell differentiates into a variety of tissues.
*A group of tissue with the same function forms an organ.
*Group of organs-organ system.
*Group of organ systems-organisms.

3. MAJOR TYPES OF ANIMAL TISSUE
*EPITHELIAL TISSUE: Covers or lines body cavity and forms glands.
*CONNECTIVE TISSUE: Binds different organs together and support
the body.
*MUSCLE TISSUE: Movement.
*NERVOUS TISSUE: Senses and transmits impulses.

4. EPITHELIAL
TISSUE
SIMPLE EPITHELLIUM COMPOUND EPITHELLIUM
-SQUAMOUS
-CUBOIDAL
-COLUMNAR
-CILIATED
-GLANDULAR
-SENSORY
-GERMINAL
-
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED
-PIGMENTED
-STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS
-STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL
-STRATIFIED COLUMNAR
-TRANSITIONAL

5. STRUCTURE-
-Cells are closely placed without intercellular
space and matrix.
-Cells rest upon a noncellular gelatinous
membrane.
-Possess the power of regeneration
-Originates from all the three germinal layers
of the embryo.
FUNCTIONS-
-Protects the underlying tissues from
dehydration and mechanical/chemical
injury.
-Helps in absorption, excretion, secretion,
respiration and perception.

7. STRUCTURE
- -Connects other tissues and organs in the body.
-Cells few in no. and scattered having large
intercellular space filled with matrix.
-Matrix is non-living, homogenious, containing
fibres.
-Basement membrane is absent.
FUNCTIONS-
-Binds different tissues, organs and act like a
packing material.
-Stores fat (adipose tissue).
-Forms a supporting frame work (skeleton) of the
body.
-Protects body against germs and toxins.

8. MUSCLE
TISSUE
SMOOTH
MUSCLE
CARDIAC
MUSCLE
SKELETAL
MUSCLE
Responsible for applying
pressure to vessels and
organs.
Responsible for heart
pumping and involuntary in
nature.
Responsible for movement of
human body posture and is
voluntary in nature.

9. STRUCTURE-
-It is formed of greatly elongated and highly
contractile muscle cells called muscle fibres.
-The muscle fibre contain contractile elements
called myofibrils.
FUNCTIONS-
-It brings about movements of body, parts of
the body and organs.
-Produces body heat by muscular action.
-Contracts heart and blood vessels.
-Muscles are the agents of brain.

10. NERVE TISSUE-
-Structural and functional unit of nerve tissue is the
neuron/nerve cell.
-Nervous tissue composed of highly specialized
nerve cells called neurons and supporting cells
called neuroglia.
-Neurons act to stimuli and transmit the
impulses(information) from one region of the body
to the another.
-Neurons extend through the body and do not act
alone.
