TYPES OF TISSUES by Mind Map: TYPES OF TISSUES

1. Muscle Tissue

1.1. Skeletal

1.1.1. Can be attached to bone.

1.1.2. Composed of elongated cells, each has several nuclei.

1.1.3. Provides voluntary movements that a person can control

1.2. Smooth

1.2.1. Can line esophagus

1.2.2. Composed of spindle-shaped cells, each has one nucleus

1.2.3. Controls the size of the pupil of the eye

1.2.4. It produces slow involuntary movements of the stomach.

1.3. Cardiac

1.3.1. In heart

1.3.2. Made up of short, branched cells. Each contains one nucleus.

2. Nervous Tissue

2.1. Neurons

2.1.1. Are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells

2.1.2. Has three general structures:

2.1.2.1. Dendrites

2.1.2.1.1. Cell Body

2.1.2.1.2. Are the rootlike extensions

2.2. Neurotransmitter

2.2.1. When the nerve impulses reached the axon terminal, nerve impulses which is electrical in nature will be converted into chemical messages by releasing chemical substance

2.3. Supporting Cells

2.3.1. Synapse

2.3.1.1. Neuroglia or Glial Cells

2.3.1.1.1. These cells form myelin, protect, support, and maintain equilibrium in your nervous system.

2.3.1.2. Very small gap between the axon terminal and dendrite

3. Epithelial Tissue

3.1. Simple

3.1.1. Simple Squamous

3.1.1.1. Simple Cuboidal

3.1.1.1.1. Simple Stratified

3.1.1.1.2. Single layer of cube like with large, spherical central nuclei.

3.1.1.2. Single layer of flattened cells

3.2. Functions

3.2.1. It protects the underlying tissue

3.2.1.1. It absorbs

3.2.1.1.1. It secretes

3.3. Stratified

3.3.1. Stratified Squamous

3.3.1.1. Stratified cuboidal

3.3.1.1.1. Stratified columnar

3.3.1.1.2. Generally two layers of cube like cells.

3.3.1.2. Thick membrane composed of several layer of cells.

3.4. Transitional

3.4.1. Has several layers

3.4.2. Designed to be stretched

3.4.3. It returns on its own shape or length.

3.5. Pseudostratified

3.5.1. The tissue doesn't have one layer.

3.5.1.1. "Pseudo" means 'False'

3.5.1.1.1. "Stratified" means 'More than one layer."
