Connective Tissue supports other tissues. Connective tissue consists of several cell types and extracellular products which, together, provide essential functions of mechanical reinforcement, immune surveillance, transport/diffusion of nutrients and wastes, and energy storage (fat).

The collagen of fibrous supporting tissues, the dermis of the skin, tendon, ligaments and bone is type I collagen, which provides tensile strength. The background will be clear, reflecting a ground substance-rich connective tissue.

This is because blood vessels are found in the connective tissue, and some white blood cells leave the blood vessels and make up part of the connective tissues. Histology Guide © Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Leeds :: Credits.

All of the various tissues of the human body can be categorized into four basic tissue types. All organs are built of these four tissues, which have consistent characteristics and arrangements from organ to organ. Thus an appreciation of the major features of these four basic tissue types can greatly simplify your understanding of the cellular composition of the many organ systems.

Four different types of tissue make up all the organs and tissues in the body. These are: Epithelia - covering cells. Connective tissue - 'space filling' tissue. Muscle - either striated or smooth. Nerves.

The 4 Basic Tissue Types in the Human Body. www.exploringnature.org. Tissues are groups of cells with a common structure (form) and function (job). There are four main tissues in the body – epithelium, muscle, connective tissue and nervous tissue. I. EPITHELIUM. Functions (jobs): 1) It protects us from the outside world – skin. 2) Absorbs – stomach and intestinal lining (gut) 3) Filters – the kidney. 4) Secretes – forms glands.

Epithelia are tissues consisting of closely apposed cells without intervening intercellular substances. Epithelia are avascular, but all epithelia grow on an underlying layer of vascular connective tissue. The connective tissue and the epithelium are separated by a basement membrane. Epithelium covers all free surfaces of the body. Epithelium also lines the large internal body cavities, where it is termed mesothelium.

Loose Connective Tissue. In this micrograph of loose connective tissue of the tracheal mucosa numerous (labeled) cells of the connective tissue are present. Note the relative size of the different cell types, their shapes, amount of rough ER and variously sized granules and inclusions.

The Histology Guide. You are here: Histology Guide > Epithelia. There are two types of epithelia, one that covers all the external body surfaces and line all the internal body cavities and tubes, and the other that are secretory, and often found in aggregates called glands, just beneath the body surfaces.

types of tissue histology
In histology, the types of tissues are: epithelium, muscle, connective tissue and nervous tissue. In Histology, the types of tissue are epithelium, muscle, connective tissue, and nervous tissue.
