Tissue and its Types

TISSUE AND ITS TYPES (Animal)

General Science | Easy Learn |

Tissues are groups of connected cells. Many tissues are made entirely from one type of cell. For example, skin, fat, or heart muscle. Blood is also tissue in liquid form. The hardest tissue in the human body is tooth enamel.

Types of Tissue

There are four main types of tissue in the human body. These are connective, epithelial, muscular, and nervous tissue.

Connective Tissue

1. Connective Tissue: This type of tissue acts as a glue in the body. It is a dense tissue. It fills the space between the other tissues and organs and helps in binding them together. For example, adipose tissue (fat), bone, and blood.

Muscular Tissue

2. Muscular Tissue: This type of tissue is made of long and thin cells. It helps to relax and contract to allow muscles to move bones. It also helps sustain blood pressure and carry food through the digestive system.

Epithelial Tissue

3. Epithelial Tissue: This type of tissue is made up of three main shapes of the cell. This tissue lines and covers surfaces inside and outside the body. It forms, skin, and the lining of the body cavities such as the gut and lungs.

Nervous Tissue

4. Nervous Tissue: The nervous tissue is created by large groups of nerve cells. This form the brain, spinal cord, and masses of nerves that work together in the nervous system, the body’s high-speed communication network
