Chapter 4
I. Types of tissue
A. What are the differences between cells and tissues? Tissues a group of cells
found together in the body
B. Four major types in the human body:
1. Epithelial tissue
a) General locations: cover the exterior surface of the body, line
internal cavities and passageways
b) Major functions: covers exterior
2. Connective tissue:
a) General locations: fat and other soft padding tissue
b) Major functions: binds cells and organs of the body together
3. Muscle tissue:
a) General locations: cardiac, smooth, skeletal
b) Major functions: excitable responds to stimulation and contracting
to provide movement
4. Nervous tissue:
a) General locations: brain, spinal cord, nerves
b) Major functions: allowing the propagation of electrochemical
signals of the form of nerve impulses
, C. Which germ layers give rise to the different types of tissue? Ectoderm,
mesoderm, endoderm
D. How are tissue membranes different from tissues? Thin layer or sheet of cells
1. Epithelial membrane:
a) Which tissues make up the membrane? connective and epithelial
b) Examples of membrane locations. Synovial (joints),
c) Three types of epithelial membranes:
(1) __mucous________ membranes produces mucus which
lines _body cavities and hollow passageways that open to
external enviornment______________
(2) ____serous________ membranes line the
_______caelomic_(do not open to outside)____ cavity of
the body and contains ______serous________ fluid.
