  1. Chapter 4 TISSUES AND MEMBRANES

  2. TISSUES • 4 Main types of tissues: • Epithelial tissue protects the body by covering internal and external surfaces • Connective tissue supports and connects organs and tissue © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

  3. TISSUES • Muscle tissue contains cell material which has the ability to move the body • Nervous tissue contains cells that react to stimuli and conduct an impulse © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

  4. MEMBRANES • Epithelial membranes are classified according to secretions produced: • Mucous membranes • Serous membranes • Connective tissues support and connect the organs and tissues © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

  5. ORGANS AND SYSTEMS • Organs are groups of tissues joined together to perform a single function • An organ system is a group of organs that together perform a specific function © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

  6. ORGANS AND SYSTEMS • The human body has 10 organ systems: • Skeletal - Respiratory • Muscular - Circulatory • Digestive - Excretory • Integumentary - Nervous • Reproductive - Endocrine © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

  7. DEGREE OF TISSUE REPAIR • Damaged tissues are repaired continually • Depending on the type and location of injury, some tissues are repaired quickly © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

  8. PROCESS OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE REPAIR • There are two types of epithelial tissue repair: • Primary repair involves skin where there is no infection present • Secondary repair occurs in large, open wounds with tissue loss © 2004 Delmar Learning, a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
