TISSUES
 4 TYPE OF TISSUES IN THE BODY:
-________________: (COVER)
-________________: (SUPPORT)
-________________: (CONTROL)
-________________: (MOVEMENT)
 These tissues work together to allow us to perform the basic everyday tasks we all do without
thinking twice about it.
Epithelial Tissue:

Classifications of E.P.Tissues:
-Each Epithelium has two names, the first being indicative of the number of layers it has. The
second describes its shape.

A. Squamous:
B. Cuboidal:

 Gland: Consists of one or _____________________________________________________
 Secretion: Cell product that is transported to the cell exterior. Ex) insulin…pancreas
 Two types of glands are formed by epithelial sheets:
1) Endocrine:
2) Exocrine:
Connective Tissue:
-Is the most abundant tissue type found in the body, purpose is to connect tissues together.
Common Characteristics of Connective Tissues:
1. Variations in Blood Supply: Most connective tissues are well ________________, which
means they have a _________________________________________.
A.) Tendons / Ligaments: Have a poor___________________________________________
B.) Cartilage: Are avascular, which means ______________________________________
2. Extracellular Matrix:
 The Extracellular Matrix may be in different forms:
-Liquid
-Semisolid
-Gel Like
-Very Hard

Types of Connective tissues: View page 81 of your book
1.) Bone: Called Osseous Tissue (hard fibers found lying inside lacunae)
Lacunae: cavities that house bone cells (osseous tissues)
Function:
2.) Cartilage: Is not as hard as bone, is more flexible than bone.
Three Types of Cartilage:
1)__________________: Is found
2)__________________: Is found
3)__________________: Is found
Learning Specialized Cell Terminology:
 The following list of suffixes describes what the cells having these suffixes does in the body.
-blasts:
-cytes:
-clasts:
 Dense Connective Tissues:
 Formation consists primarily of _________________ fibers as it main matrix, with rows of
fibroblasts between each ____________ fibers to help do what? _________________________
Tendons:
Ligaments:
 Areolar Connective Tissues:
 The function of this connective tissue is to ___________ and ____________ the body organs
it surrounds.
Function: To hold organs together and help keep themselves in the proper place.
 This type of tissue has so much space in its cellular matrix, that during the inflammation
process fluid is actually soaked up into this area causing the swelling of tissues. This process is
called what?________________
 Adipose Tissue:
 Is actually what type of tissue? ___________________Tissue
Function:
1)
2)
 Blood:
 Is concidered a connective tissue because its individual cells are conposed of protein moleculs
surrounded by a fluid matrix.
Types Of Muscle Tissue:
Skeletal:
-Muscle is packeged by connective tissue sheets into organs called skeletal muscles, which attach
to the skeletal system. These are also V_______________ muscles.
Function:
Cardiac Muscles:
-Is found only in the ______________.
-This type of muscle is under I________________ C_______________.
Smooth Muscle:
-Get its name, because unlike skeletal or cardiac muscle, smooth muscle has no striations (one nucleus /
cell). Is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, bladder, uterus, blood vessles.
-When smooth muscle contracts its organs constrict and dialate. Ex) how food is moved in intest
