Classification of Tissues

  Tissue level of organization: Classification of Tissues.

---

Introduction:

• Groups of cells having similar structure and performing similar functions are called “Tissue.”

• Human body contains FOUR basic types of tissues.

• Epithelium Tissue.

• Connective Tissue.

• Muscular Tissue.

• Nervous Tissue.

Classification of Tissues.

• Human tissues are further classified as follows,

1. Epithelium Tissue:

1. Simple Epithelium:

1. Simple Squamous Epithelium.

2. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

3. Simple Columnar Epithelium.

2. Stratified Epithelium:

1. Stratified Squamous Epithelium.

2. Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

3. Stratified Columnar Epithelium.

4. Transitional Epithelium

3. Pseudostratified Epithelium.

2. Connective Tissue:

1. Loose Connective Tissue:

1. Areolar Connective Tissue.

2. Adipose Tissue.

1. White Adipose Tissue.

2. Brown Adipose Tissue.

3. Reticular Connective Tissue.

2. Dense Connective Tissue:

1. Fibrous Connective Tissue.

2. Elastic Connective Tissue.

3. Cartilage.

1. Hyaline Cartilage

2. Fibrous Cartilage

3. Elastic Fibrocartilage.
