Animal Tissues

Epithelial Tissues

Nervous Tissues

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

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

Muscular Tissues

Connective Tissues

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

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

Types

Areolar

Dense regular connective tissue

Adipose

Skeletal

Fluid

Ligament

Tendon

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

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

Cartilage

Bone

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

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

Help in transportation of materials and provide defence

Blood

Lymph

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

Straw-coloured fluid containing inorganic salts and organic compounds

Blood cells

Red Blood Cells (RBC)

White Blood cells (WBC)

Blood platelets

Plasma

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