Mind Map of Chapter 6 Animal Tissues

Animal Tissues

Nervous Tissues

Epithelial Tissues

Muscular Tissues

Connective 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

• 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.

Types

Types

Types

Striated

Squamous

Dense regular connective tissue

Skeletal

Fluid

Adipose

Areolar

Smooth

Ciliated

Help in transportation of materials and provide defence

Cardiac

Cartilage

Bone

Cuboidal

• 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

Ligament

Tendon

Glandular

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

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

Blood

Lymph

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

Straw-coloured fluid containing inorganic salts and organic compounds

Columnar

Blood cells

Plasma

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

Blood platelets

White Blood cells (WBC)

Red Blood Cells (RBC)

Rest

Motion

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

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