Topic : Animal Tissues

Classification

Different types of tissues

I. Epithelial Tissues. - Epithelial tissues form closely packed continuous sheets of cells
with no intercellular spaces.

Location - They line cavities of hollow internal organs and also cover the external
surface of body and body organs.

Functions- They protect the body organs and prevent the entry of germs in the
body. They help in absorption, secretion, excretion, perception and gamete
formation.

II. Connective tissues-

It is present almost everywhere in the body. Cells of connective tissues are
suspended in the matrix or ground substance. Matrix is the intercellular substance.

Functions- Connective tissues hold various tissues and organs together.

Types of Connective Tissues

1. Connecting or binding tissues

2. Skeletal or supporting tissues
3. Fluid or transporting tissues

1. Connecting tissues : They are of the following types;

 Areolar tissue is the most abundant tissue in the body. It forms thin
sheets, binds skin with the underlying tissues and acts as a packing
tissue between and within organs in the body cavity.
 Adipose tissue store fats in the adipose cells which are filled with oil
globules.
 Fibrous connective tissues form tendons and ligaments.

2. Skeletal tissues - These tissues form skeletal framework of the body.

They are of two types: cartilage and bone.
 Cartilage is firm but elastic connective tissue. It supports the wall of
windpipe, nasal septum and external ear (pinna).
Being highly elastic, it is found between the bones at joints. It relieves
the bones of shocks and reduces friction between them.

 Bones are hard and non-elastic tissues. The inorganic salts of calcium,
magnesium and phosphorus in the matrix of bone make it hard,
strong and brittle.
Bones form supportive framework, protect delicate internal organs
and help in locomotion.

Red blood cells and white blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of long
bones.

3. Fluid tissues : These include blood and lymph.

 Blood is a red- coloured fluid tissue. Its fluid matrix is called plasma.
Plasma is straw- coloured and non living substance. The three types
of blood cells that float in plasma are-
Red blood cells (RBCs) supply oxygen to each and every body cell.
White blood cells (WBCs ) are called the soldiers of the body. They
fight and kill germs that enter the body.
Blood platelets are essential for clotting of blood.

 Lymph is filtered blood. It is blood plasma without blood cells and

blood proteins. It helps in exchange of substances between blood and
tissue cells. It helps in the protection of body against infection and
help in healing the wound.

III. Muscular tissues are contractile tissues. They form the flesh of the body .They are
made up of long, fibrous contractile cells, called muscle fibres. Each muscle fibre is
formed of highly contractile myofibrils. These myofibrils are formed of contractile
proteins. Because of myofibrils, muscle fibres can contract and relax. Muscle fibres
are arranged either in sheets or in bundles.

Functions of muscular tissues - They help in the movement of body parts and in
locomotion. They help in the movement of food in alimentary canal. They also help
in pumping blood to all parts of body.

IV. Nervous tissue is specialised for coordinating various life activities of organisms. It is
made up of nerve cells called neurons.

Location - It occurs in brain, spinal cord and sense organs.

Functions - The neurons of sense organs detect changes in the environment called
stimulus and send this message to the brain and spinal cord in the form of nerve
impulse for the appropriate response.
