What is animal tissue?

Back

Animal tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body. There are four main types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue.

What are the four main types of animal tissues?

Back

The four main types of animal tissues are: 1. Epithelial tissue, 2. Connective tissue, 3. Muscular tissue, 4. Nervous tissue.

Front

What is epithelial tissue?

Back

Epithelial tissue is a type of tissue that covers the surfaces of the body, both inside and out. It serves as a protective barrier and is involved in absorption, secretion, and sensation.

Front

What is connective tissue?

Back

Connective tissue supports, binds together, and protects tissues and organs of the body. Examples include bone, blood, and adipose (fat) tissue.

Front

What is muscular tissue?

Back

Muscular tissue is responsible for the movement of the body and is classified into three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.

Front

What is nervous tissue?

Back

Nervous tissue makes up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body.

Front

What is parenchyma tissue?

Back

Parenchyma tissue is a type of plant tissue that is involved in photosynthesis, storage, and tissue repair. It consists of living cells with thin cell walls.

Front

What is xylem?

Back

Xylem is a type of plant tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What is phloem?

Back

Phloem is a type of plant tissue that transports sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.

Front

What is collenchyma tissue?

Back

Collenchyma tissue is a type of plant tissue that provides support while allowing for growth. It has thicker cell walls than parenchyma.
