Tissues Notes

This document provides an overview of the main tissue types found in plants and animals. It discusses meristematic tissues in plants, which are dividing cells responsible for growth. It also outlines the three main types of permanent plant tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma. In animals, it describes four primary tissue types - epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous tissue - and their various forms and functions. Connective tissues are specialized for connecting and supporting other tissues, while epithelial tissues cover surfaces and line body cavities. Muscular tissues contract to cause movement and nervous tissues transmit electrical signals.

Connective tissues
➢ Connective tissues are specialised to connect various body parts.
➢ The main function is binding, supporting and packing together different
organs of body.
➢ The cells of connective tissue are living, separated from each other and
are very less in number.
➢ Homogeneous gel like intercellular substance called matrix form the
bulk of connective tissue. Cells are embedded in matrix.
(a) Areolar
They are found between skin and muscles, around blood vessels, nerves, fill
space inside organs.

(1) It act as supporting and packing tissue between organs lying in body cavity.
(2) It helps in repair of tissue after an injury.
(3) It fixes skin to underlying muscles.
They are of 2 types:
(1) Tendons
They are inelastic, cord like, strong
structures that join muscle to bone.
They are made of white fibres.

(2) Ligaments
They are highly elastic and has great
strength but contain very little
matrix. They connect bone to bone
and are made of yellow and white
fibres.
(b) Adipose
They are basically an aggregation of fat cell. Each fat cell is rounded or oval and
contain a large droplet of fat that almost fill it. They are abundant below the
skin, between internal organs, in yellow bone marrow. it acts as an insulator

(regulates body temperature, it forms shock absorbing cushion around kidney
and eye ball.)

(c) Skeletal Tissue


They are of 2 types:

(1) Bone
(2) Cartilage
Bone
It is very strong, non-flexible tissue, porous,
highly vascular, its matrix is made up of proteins,
heavily coated with P, Ca and Mg salts. These
minerals are responsible for hardness of the bone.

Function
(1) It forms endoskeleton of human being and other
vertebrates.
(2) It provides shape and support to body.
(3) It protects vital body organs.
(4) It serves as a storage site of Ca and Phosphate.
Cartilage
It is a flexible connecting tissue connecting joints between
bones, ribs cage, ear, nose etc. It acts like shock absorbent.

(d) Fluid
(a) Lymph
(b) Blood
Blood
In this cell move in a fluid or liquid medium called plasma
(55%). The blood plasma does not contain protein fibres
but contain blood cell or corpuscles. Plasma is a complex
fluid which contains inorganic salts and organic
compounds.
(1) RBC: Red Blood Cells or erythrocytes
(2) WBC: White Blood Cells or leucocytes
(3) Platelets: They are non-living.

Page 14 of 16
Blood occurs in blood vessels (Arteries, Veins, Capillaries)

Function
(1) They transport nutrients,
hormones, vitamins to tissue.
(2) They transport excretory
products tissue to liver and kidney.
(3) RBC carry oxygen to tissue for
oxidation of food.
(4) WBC fight diseases.
(5) Platelets disintegrate at the site
of injury and helps in blood
clotting.
