Animal Tissues
Class 9 Biology
Introduction
l tissues are groups of cells performing specific functions.
provide structure, support, and perform vital activities.
l tissues are classified into four main types:
helial Tissue
nective Tissue
scular Tissue
vous Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
ers body surfaces and lines internal organs.
ctions: Protection, absorption, secretion, and excretion.
es:
uamous: Thin, flat cells (skin, alveoli).
boidal: Cube-shaped cells (glands).
umnar: Tall cells (intestine).
ated: Hair-like projections (respiratory tract).
Connective Tissue
Connects, supports, and binds different body parts.
Functions: Transport, flexibility, strength, storage.
Types:
- Bone: Provides shape and support.
- Cartilage: Flexible support (nose, ear).
- Ligaments & Tendons: Enable joint movement.
- Blood: Transports gases, nutrients, hormones.
- Adipose: Stores fat and energy.
Muscular Tissue
nt of the body and its parts.
ary): Skeletal muscles.
oluntary): Internal organs.
in the heart, involuntary.
drical, cardiac muscles are branched, unstriated muscles are spindle-shaped.
Nervous Tissue
ntrols and coordinates body activities.
ade up of neurons, the structural and functional units.
nctions:
eceive stimuli from surroundings.
ransmit impulses between body parts.
neuron consists of dendrites, cell body, and axon.
Summary of Animal Tissues
ial Tissue: Protection, secretion, absorption (skin, glands).
ctive Tissue: Support, transport, binding (bones, blood).
lar Tissue: Movement (skeletal, cardiac, smooth).
us Tissue: Coordination and control (brain, spinal cord).
