What are the 4 types of tissue tissue groups give an example and identify a function? ›

Overview. There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).

Animal tissues are distinguished into four basic types namely epithelial, connective, nervous and muscle tissues.

Epithelial tissues act as coverings controlling the movement of materials across the surface. Connective tissue integrates the various parts of the body and provides support and protection to organs. Muscle tissue allows the body to move. Nervous tissues propagate information.

epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

Specialized connective tissues include adipose, cartilage, bone, blood, and lymphatic tissues. These tissues contribute to diverse functions. Adipose tissue is a loose, specialized connective tissue that functions primarily in energy storage and release, temperature insulation, organ protection, and hormone secretion.

Connective tissue also stores fat, helps move nutrients and other substances between tissues and organs, and helps repair damaged tissue. Connective tissue is made up of cells, fibers, and a gel-like substance. Types of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, fat, blood, and lymphatic tissue.

Connective tissues are characterized by an abundance of intercellular matrix with relatively few cells. Connective tissue cells are able to reproduce but not as rapidly as epithelial cells. Most connective tissues have a good blood supply but some do not. Numerous cell types are found in connective tissue.

Epithelial tissues act as coverings, controlling the movement of materials across their surface. Connective tissue binds the various parts of the body together, providing support and protection. Muscle tissue allows the body to move and nervous tissues functions in communication.

Connective tissue is the most abundant and diverse type of animal tissue.

Bone is a type of specialized connective tissue. Connective tissues are specialized to connect and anchor bones. They give support to various parts of creating a packing around organs. The main functions of connective tissues are binding, supporting, and backing together.

Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Muscular tissue such as cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Epithelial tissue lines the GI tract organs and other hollow organs and is found on the skin surface (epidermis). Connective tissue such as fat and other soft padding tissue, bone, and tendon.

Connective tissue is made up of cells, fibers, and a gel-like substance. Types of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, fat, blood, and lymphatic tissue.

A group of cells of similar origin that are structurally similar and perform a particular function are called tissue e.g., nervous tissues, blood, etc.

Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
