Function of epithelial
-protection, diffusion, absorption, secretion
Fastest cell mitotic/ replication rate
E
Tissue is mostly cells and very little matrix
E and M
Contains the most cell junctions
E
Avascular
E
Has a nerve supply
E and M and N
Tissues can be arranged in a single layer (simple) or multiple layers (stratified)
E
Different shapes of cells (squamous, cuboidal, columnar)
E
Functions of connective
protection, gives body structure, homopoiesis, energy storage, mineral storage, body temp homeostasis, binds organs together, carries oxygen, immune system, blood clotting
Slower replication rate but cells do replicate
C
Less cells but much more matrix than epithelial
C
Some is vascular some is avascular
C
Most have nerve supply, some dont
C
Fewest Cell junctions
C
Shapes of cells vary depending on specific type of tissue
C
Most abundant tissue in the human body
C
Function of nervous system
Create and send impulses throughout the body and support the nerve tissue
How do neurons and neuroglia replicate
Neurons-slow to none Neuroglia- can replicate
Types of nerve cells
Neurons and Neuroglia
Many neuroglia cells and fewer neurons and little matrix between
N
Vascular
N
Has a nerve supply
N
Few cell junctions but more than connective tissue
N
Function of muscle tissue
Produce force of motion
