A collection of specialized cells/cell products that perform a limited number of functions

Study of tissue appearance, function, organization

• cytology

• histology

• histopathology

• biology

Lines GI tract organs, hollow organs, epidermis

• epithelial tissue

• connective tissue

• muscle tissue

• neural tissue

Most abundant tissue type; found in bones, tendons, fat, and other soft padding tissue

• neural tissue

• epithelial tissue

• muscle tissue

• connective tissue

Lines the heart (cardiac), cavities and skin (smooth), and bones (skeletal)

• epithelial tissue

• neural tissue

• connective tissue

• muscle tissue

found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

• neural tissue

• muscle tissue

• epithelial tissue

• connective tissue

The synovial membrane:

• Lines cavities

• makes synovial fluid for lubrication

• lines the pleural membrane

• Lines joints, tendons, sheaths

The connective tissue membrane includes what membrane?

Epithelial membranes include:

• Mucous membrane

• synovial membrane

• respiratory membrane

• serous membrane

• cutaneous membrane

Membrane that lines the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts
