Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems. The function of an organ system depends on the integrated activity of its organs. For instance, digestive system organs cooperate to process food. The survival of the organism depends on the integrated activity of all the organ systems, often coordinated by the ...
Connective tissue, as its name implies, binds the cells and organs of the body together and functions in the protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body. Muscle tissue is excitable, responding to stimulation and contracting to provide movement, and occurs as three major types: skeletal (voluntary) muscle, smooth muscle, and ...
Aug 30, 2023 · The Four Types of Tissues. Epithelial tissue, also referred to as epithelium (plural = epithelia), refers to the sheets of cells that cover exterior surfaces of the body (e.g. the skin surface), line internal body cavities (e.g. the pericardium), and form the lining of internal and many external surfaces of organs (e.g. the GI tract organs), and forms certain glands (e.g the adrenal glands).
Note that epithelial tissue originates in all three layers, whereas nervous tissue derives primarily from the ectoderm and muscle tissue derives from the mesoderm. Figure 4.1.2 – Embryonic Origin of Tissues and Major Organs: Embryonic germ layers and the resulting primary tissue types formed by each.

Tissues. Connective tissue is the tough, often fibrous tissue that binds the body's structures together and provides support and elasticity. It is present in almost every organ, forming a large part of skin, tendons, joints, ligaments, blood vessels, and muscles. The characteristics of connective tissue and the types of cells it contains vary ...

May 18, 2021 · The eleven distinct organ systems in the human body covered in this book seen in Figure 1.3.2 1.3. 2 and Figure 1.3.3 1.3. 3 include: The integumentary system functions to enclose internal body structures and is the site of many sensory receptors. Some organs of this system include skin, hair, and nails.
