Mind Map of Chapter 6 Animal Tissues

• Fluid matrix in which blood cells are suspended
• Contains proteins, salts and hormones

Plasma

Blood platelets

White Blood cells (WBC)

Red Blood Cells (RBC)

Blood cells

Straw-coloured fluid containing inorganic salts and organic compounds

Fluid, slightly alkaline.Transport gases, digested food, hormones and waste materials

Lymph

Blood

Help in transportation of materials and provide defence

• Strong, inflexibile, embedded in hard matrix composed of calcium and phosphorus compounds
• Supports body, anchors muscles and support organs

• Semi-rigid, flexible, matrix made of collagen, sugar, protein
• Provide support and flexibilty

Bone

Cartilage

• Connect two bones
• Elastic, contain very little matrix and have strength

• Connect muscles to bones
• Fibrous, great strength but limited flexibility

Tendon

Ligament

Fluid

Skeletal

Adipose

Dense regular connective tissue

Areolar

Types

Cardiac

Smooth

Striated

Types

Columnar

Glandular

Cuboidal

Ciliated

Squamous

Types

• Elongated cells called muscle fibres made up of contractile proteins.
• Responsible for body movement.

• Connect and bind different tissues or organs.
• Cells are loosely spaced and embedded in an intercellular matrix.

Connective Tissues

Muscular Tissues

• Made up of nerve cells or neurons.
• Present in brain, spinal cord and nerves.
• Specialised for being simulated and transmitting stimulus rapidly

• Protective tissue covering the entire animal body internally and extremely
• It is the simplest tissue

Nervous Tissues

Epithelial Tissues

Animal Tissues

~ Due to this intertia, a body in uniform motion tends to continue its motion.

Motion

~ Due to this intertia, a body at rest tends to remain at rest.
