The document discusses the four main types of tissues in the body: epithelial, nervous, muscular, and connective tissue. It provides examples of different epithelial tissues like stratified cuboidal and simple squamous epithelium. It describes the functions of nervous tissue in conducting impulses and bringing about responses to stimuli. The document outlines the three types of muscular tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Finally, it lists several types of connective tissues, including loose connective tissue, adipose tissue, reticular tissue, dense regular fibrosis, bone, hyaline cartilage, and fibrocartilage.

2. Epithelial Tissue
Glandular Tissue- An aggregation of epithelial cells that elaborate
secretions.
Stratified Cuboidal- Is a rare type of epithelial tissue composed of
cuboidal shaped cells arranged in multiple layers.
Simple Cuboidal- Simple cuboidal cells are classified as simple since
they consist of only a single layer of cells.
Simple Squamous Epithelium- Single layer of flat epithelial cells that
all adhere to the basement membrane.
Stratified squamous epithelium- Squamous (flattened) epithelial cells
arranged in layers upon a basement membrane. Only one layer is in
contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one
another to maintain structural integrity.

3. Nervous Tissue
• Nervous Tissue- Specialized to react to stimuli
and to conduct impulses to various organs in
the body which bring about a response to the
stimulus.

4. Muscular Tissue
• Skeletal Tissue- Known as voluntary or striated
voluntary muscle.
• Smooth Tissue- Muscles that are not
conscious control, also known as involuntary
or visceral muscle.
• Cardiac Tissue- Specialized muscle that makes
up the heart.

5. Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue- Tissue arising chiefly from the embryonic mesoderm that
is characterized by a highly vascular matrix and includes
collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers, adipose tissue, cartilage, and bone. It
forms the supporting and connecting structures of the body.
Loose connective issue- Loose connective tissue or (LCT) is literally found
everywhere in the body, as filling between apposed body parts. It is also
called areolar tissue.
Adipose- Used to store fat
Reticular- Forms a network
Dense Regular Fibrosis- Found in ligaments and tendons
Bone- Is a type of mineralized connective tissue that contains collagen and
calcium phosphate, a mineral crystal
Hyaline cartilage- Is covered externally by a fibrous membrane, called the
perichondrium, except at the articular ends of bones
Fibrocartilage- Consists of a mixture of white fibrous tissue and cartilaginous
tissue in various proportions
