ANIMAL TISSUES
Tissue : A group of cells similar in structure, function
and origin.
Eptithelial tissue
There are four types of tissues
found in animals Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
Based on functions & location tissues are
classified into four types :
No Type Origin Function
1 Epithelial tissue Ectoderm, endoderm, Protection,
mesoderm secretion,
absorption etc.
2 Connective tissue Mesoderm Support, binding,
storage, protection,
circulation.
3 Muscular tissue Mesoderm Contraction and
movement
4 Nervous tissue Ectoderm Conduction and
control
I. Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial tissues line body surfaces and cavities, as well as form glands. The
cells of the tissue are closely connected to each other via cellular junctions and
because epithelium is found on the edges of organs, it has two distinct
surfaces. The apical surface is exposed to the body cavity or exterior, while the
basal surface is adjacent to the underlying tissue (see the figure below).
Epithelia contain no blood vessels (they are non-vascular) and are dependent
upon the underlying connective tissue for nutrients.
Epithelial cells can be one of three shapes: squamous (flattened), cuboidal,
or columnar. If the epithelium consists of one cell layer it is called simple
epithelium. Stratified epithelium has more than one layer. The combination of
cell shape and the number of cell layers is used to classify epithelial tissue.
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Simple Squamous
Epithelium
Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the
gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and the urinary bladder. Contractions of these muscles
propel fluid or materials through the organs (i.e. food through the GI tract, blood through
blood vessels, urine pushed out of bladder). Smooth muscle cells are not striated (hence the
name “smooth” muscle); they have a single nucleus, and have tapered ends. Examine the
smooth muscle on the muscle composite slide as well as the blood vessel slide. In blood
vessels there is a layer of smooth muscle deep to the epithelial layer. It is thicker on the artery
than on the vein, but can be seen in both.
