Types of Tissue that Make Up Our Body

Exocrine glands are glands that secrete its product directly into the bloodstream.

organs. Sweat is an example off exocrine glands.

 

Stratified squamous epithelium is an epithelium that consists of several layers that maintain structural integrity. A tattoo is an example of stratified squamous epithelium tissue.

Basement membrane is a thin, non-cellular region of tissue that separates the epithelium, mesothelium and endothelium from underlying connective tissue. the lining of the lips is an example of Basement Membrane.

Adipose tissue is a loose connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. The eye socket is an example of adipose tissue.

       

 

Fibrous connective tissue is a body tissue that provides support and shock absorption to surrounding organs and bones.

       

Dense connective tissue consists of large fibers that strengthen the tissues. These tissues form structures such as tendons and ligaments.

Skeletal muscle tissue allows movement of the bones in the human body.

Hyaline cartilage is a cartilage found on many joint surfaces. It’s very flexible, strong, and elastic. It also reduces friction at joints, allows movement, and keeps trachea and bronchi tubes open, and helps growth of the bones.

 













Epithelial tissue is the outermost layer of skin and it covers the entire body surface. the outer layer skin on my stomach is an example of epitelial tissue becasue its skin that covers my internal organs.

 

Bone tissue (osseous) is the most supportive connective tissue of the body. This tissue makes up the skeletal system. It provides support for the muscles, organs, soft tissue, movement, and provides protection of vital organs.
