SPECIALIZED CELLS AND TISSUE
TISSUE TYPES
The cells that come together to make tissue all have a somewhat similar structure and act in the same way.
Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nerve tissue are the four primary forms of tissue, each of which originates from a distinct cell layer in the early embryo.
Connective tissues include blood, bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments among other things.
There are many different types of epithelial tissues, including the epidermis and the tissues that line practically every organ.
Naturally, muscles and nerves are composed of muscle and nerve tissues, respectively.
White matter
Contains a lengthy nerve that is wire-like and insulated.
Gray matter
Contains both the bodies of nerve cells and support cells.
Nerve tissue
An view of nerve tissue taken using a microscope, displaying the glial cells that are there to support the nerve cells (neurons).
The creatures that resemble spiders provide the nourishment.
Elastic cartilage
Light and pliable; holds
Hyaline cartilage
Tough yet flexible; The most common
Elastic cartilage
Chondrocytes, which are spherical cells, can be seen in a sample of cartilage taken from the epiglottis.
These cells are embedded in fibers of elastin, which give the cartilage its lightness and flexibility.
Loose connective tissue
A portion of the connective tissue in the body is made up of cells that are only loosely encased in the fibers.
The nuclei of fibroblast cells can be observed here as black dots.
Connective dermal tissue
Connects dermis of skin to underlying organs
Skeletal muscle tissue
Connective tissue that is white in color surrounds each bundle of contractive filaments, which can be seen here in the form of stripes.
The nuclei are represented by the dark patches.
Dense connective tissue
This sturdy and dense tissue is present in the lower layer of the epidermis, as well as in the ligaments and tendons (dermis).
Dermis
Lower layer of skin
Sweat gland
Part of epithelial tissue Of skin
Adipose tissue
Adipocytes are cells that are found surrounding internal organs and under the skin, and they are responsible for the formation of a fatty connective tissue known as adipose.
Fat tissue
Beneath dermis layer Of skin
Smooth muscle tissue
Smooth muscular tissue is characterized by its long fibers, which are responsible for involuntary contractions.
They are located in a variety of tubular internal organs, such as the intestine, for example.
Spongy bone tissue
Spongy bone has a honeycomb-like structure that is both lightweight and strong, and it is in these huge open areas where bone marrow may be found.
Blood
Blood is a fluid connective tissue found throughout the body.
It is composed of platelets, which are pieces of cells, as well as liquid plasma, which contains red and white blood cells.
