Tissues Graphic Organizer

Directions: Fill in the tissue types and write a detailed description of each one. This should include a lot of detail. Please use the websites given and the lecture notes folder to help you with finding enough detail to add

Nervous

Nervous tissue is the fourth basic tissue type of the body and is organized into two basic systems: (1) the Central Nervous System (CNS) and (2) the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The peripheral system responds to stimuli and sends impulses to the central system (brain and spinal cord)

Muscular

We know that living organisms can move on their own or can perform other types of movement. Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. beat and the movements of the alimentary canal.

Muscles can be divided into three main groups

Smooth, Skeletal and

Cardiac tissue.

Connective

Connective tissues function primarily to support the body and to bind or connect together all types of tissue. This tissue also provides a mechanical framework (the skeleton) which plays an important role in locomotion. Unlike epithelial tissue, connective tissue is characterized by the large amounts of intercellular substance (also called ground substance or the matrix) that it contains.

Epithelial

Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialized to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial tissue that occurs on surfaces on the interior of the body is known as endothelium. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together, with almost no intercellular spaces and only a small amount of intercellular substance. The basement membrane provides structural support for the epithelium and also binds it to neighboring structures.
