Animal Tissues: Asia Technological School of Science and Arts

This document discusses the six types of animal tissues: epithelial tissues, connective tissues, muscle tissues, nerve tissues, motor neurons, and vascular tissues. Epithelial tissues form linings and coverings, connective tissues provide structure and support, muscle tissues allow for movement, nerve tissues transmit electrical signals, motor neurons carry signals to muscles, and vascular tissues include blood and lymph involved in circulation. The document further explains the subtypes and functions of each tissue type.

Animal tissues

1.Epithelial Tissues
-these tissues form the linings or
coverings of free body surfaces both
internal and external.
Ex: External portion of the skin and inner
linings of the digestive tract, lungs, blood
vessels.
Sweat gland-epithelial cells with glandular
function.

3. Muscle Tissues
-these tissues have greater capacity
for
contraction than most other tissues.
-they are responsible for most
movement in higher animals.
Ex: cardiac, smooth and striated.
4. Nerve Tissues
-composed of nerve cells which are
easily stimulated and can transmit
impulses rapidly.
- each cell is composed of cell body
containing the nucleus and one or
more extensions called dendrite fibers.

2.1 Connective tissue


- these are tissues whose cells are
embedded in an extensive intercellular
matrix.

5. Motor Neuron
-carries the impulse to the axon and
then to the neutral root and to
the end
organ in contact with the
effector which
can be a muscle.

Connective tissue Proper


-these are composed of cells and
fibers which are embedded in the
amorphous ground which is mixture of
protein, carbohydrates and lipids.

6. Vascular Tissues
-these tissues are the blood and the
lymph which are very important in the
circulatory processes.

a. Loose Connective tissues


-these tissues have loose cells with
irregularly arranged fibers.
-allow more flexibility of the animal.
Ex: fat tissues and collagens
b. Dense Connective Tissues
-these tissues have compact
arrangement of many fibers which
limited ground substance and a small
number of cells.
Ex: Tendons (connect bones with muscles)
Ligaments ( connect bones with bones)
2.2 Cartilages
-these are specialized form of dense
fibrous connective tissues in which the
intercellular matrix has a rubber
consistency.
Ex: nose, ears, larynx, trachea
-Young babies are composed of
cartilages but
replaced by ones as they
grow old.
2.3 Bones
-these are connective tissues with
hard, relatively rigid matrix
impregnated with calcium carbonates
and calcium phosphates.

Blood
a. RBC
-red blood cells or erythrocytes.
-responsible for carrying the
oxygen and other digested food
to all parts of the body.
b. WBC
-White blood cells or the
leukocytes.
-proactive elements in the
immune system
that protect
the system from infections or
microorganisms.
c. Thrombocytes
-the blood platelets
-responsible for blood
coagulation esp.
when there
is hemorrhage due to the
wounds.
Lymph
-the liquid that develops from
an
inflamed body and at the
same time
responsible for
metastasis.
Metastasis
-the process wherein toxins
produced by cancerous cells are
carried from one part of body to
another.
