Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are four fundamental types of tissue.
Connective tissue serves as the framework of the body, providing support and structure for the organs. Connective tissue is the most abundant, widely distributed, and varied type of tissue. It includes ligaments, tendons, fat, cartilage, bone, bone marrow, and blood. Like the name implies, connective tissues often bind organs together, hold organs in place, cushion them, and fill space.
Muscle tissue is made up of cells that form muscles and allow the muscles to contract, which makes body movement possible.
Epithelial tissue is made up of cells joined tightly together to form a protective layer around the body (skin) as well as to line some internal cavities and organs of the body. A characteristic of epithelial tissue is that it does not contain blood vessels.
Nervous tissue is made up of uniquely specialized cells, neurons, and neuroglia. Neurons transmit signals (messages) between the different parts of the body and neuroglia are connective tissue cells that support the neurons. This tissue allows the body to be able to use the five senses to inform the brain about stimuli it experiences and subsequently reacts accordingly.
