What are the major tissue types and their function?

There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).

What type of tissue function is to support cells?

Connective tissue
Connective tissue binds the cells and organs of the body together and performs many functions, especially in the protection, support, and integration of the body.

What is epithelial tissue and its function?

Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.

What are the major connective tissue types?

The major types of connective tissue are connective tissue proper, supportive tissue, and fluid tissue. Loose connective tissue proper includes adipose tissue, areolar tissue, and reticular tissue.

What tissue pumps blood?

How the heart works. The heart is a large, muscular organ that pumps blood filled with oxygen and nutrients through the blood vessels to the body tissues.

What are the major functions of connective tissue?

The primary functions of connective tissues include:

  • Transportation of nutrients and metabolites through direct diffusion between organs and connective tissue proper.
  • Immunological defense (fights invading cells via inflammation)
  • Structural support.
  • Tissue repair (after injury)
