Animal Tissues 4 Types Epithelial Tissue Muscle Tissue

Animal Tissues 4 Types : • Epithelial Tissue • Muscle Tissue • Nerve Tissue • Connective Tissue

Epithelial Tissue Type Location Function Squamous Lines the mouth and the lungs - Protects underlying tissue - Allows certain substances to pass through (e. g. gases and solutions) Columnar Lines the inside of the small intestine - Provides support to other cell types. - Absorbs food, water and minerals. - Contains goblet cells to secrete mucus. Appearance

Epithelial Tissue Type Location Function Ciliated Lines the breathing - Mucus from passages. goblet cells traps passages dust. - The beating cilia drives out the mucus with the dust. Cuboidal (glandular) Lines the glands - Produces a variety of secretions (e. g. sweat, milk and sebum=oil) Appearance

Muscle Tissue Type Location Function Striated Found in voluntary muscles - Responsible for all voluntary actions such as walking and running. Unstriated/ Smooth Lines the blood vessels, stomach and intestine walls. - Responsible for involuntary actions such as dilation and constriction of blood vessels. Appearance

Muscle Tissue Type Cardiac Location Found in the walls of the heart only Function - Responsible for involuntary contraction and relaxation of the heart. Appearance
