Tissue Flashcards
(11 cards)
Tissue types
Epithelial, Muscular, Nervous, Connective
Epithelial Tissue
Organised, tightly packed together, covering and lining tissue
Epithelial Tissue Examples
Stomach lining, Skin, Inner lining of intestines.
Muscular Tissue types
- Cardiac
- Skeletal
- Smooth/Involuntary
Connective Tissue
Holds the body/organs together, not organised or tightly packed together. Cells are in a non-cellular matrix.
Connective Tissue Example
Blood, tendons, ligaments
Nervous tissue
Messages are carried along axons that extend from the cell body (neurons); found in brain and spinal cords.
Cardiac tissue structure + examples
- Cardiac (heart), branched and striated
Skeletal tissue structure + examples
- Skeletal (biceps, triceps), striated
Smooth/involuntary tissue structure + example
- Smooth/Involuntary (stomach wall, intestines, iris)
