Tissues
• There are four main types of animal tissues:
● Epithelial tissues
● Connective tissues
● Muscle tissues
● Nervous tissues
Epithelial Tissue
• Epithelial tissues, cover the outside of the body and line organs and cavities within the
body.
• It function as a barrier against mechanical injury, pathogens, and fluid loss.
• Epithelia also form active interfaces with the environment.
Epithelial tissue
Cuboidal epithelium
• Cuboidal epithelium, with dice shaped cells specialized
for secretion.
kidney tubules
thyroid gland
salivary glands
• During development, skeletal muscle fibers form by the fusion of many cells, resulting in
multiple nuclei in each muscle cell or fiber.
• The arrangement of contractile units, or sarcomeres, along the fibers gives the cells a
striped (striated) appearance.
Smooth muscle
• Smooth muscle, which lacks striations,
• It is found in the walls of the digestive tract, urinary bladder, arteries, and other internal
organs.
• Smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary body activities, such as churning of the
stomach and constriction of arteries.
Cardiac muscle
• Cardiac muscle forms the contractile wall of the heart.
