What are the main types of animal tissues?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous, and fluid tissues.
What is the function of epithelial tissue?
Epithelial tissue covers the surface of the body, lines body cavities, and forms the active parts of glands.

What is the function of epithelial tissue?
Epithelial tissue covers the surface of the body, lines body cavities, and forms the active parts of glands.
Describe the characteristics of connective tissue.
Connective tissue supports and binds other tissues, gives form and strength to organs, and includes tissues like yellow elastic, collagenous, reticular, adipose, cartilage, and bone.
What is the role of muscle tissue?
Muscle tissue specializes in contracting to facilitate movement and includes striated voluntary (skeletal), smooth (involuntary), and cardiac (involuntary striated) muscles.
What are the components of nervous tissue?
Nervous tissue consists of nerve cell bodies and nerve processes (axons and dendrites) that conduct impulses throughout the body.
What is the function of blood as a fluid tissue?
Blood transports oxygen and carbon dioxide, defends against infection, and includes components like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
What is the difference between plasma and serum?
Plasma is the fluid part of unclotted blood, while serum is the fluid portion remaining after blood has clotted.
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium?
It forms the outer layer of the skin and lines the first part of the digestive tract, providing protection and durability.
How does cartilage differ from bone?
Cartilage is a firm but flexible connective tissue, while bone is rigid and formed by calcified osteoid tissue.
What are granulocytes and their types?
Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell with granules that stain differently; they include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils.
