Expert Solution

There are four types of specific tissues in human body.

1. epithelial

2. connective

3. nervous

4. muscle.

TYPE OF TISSUES	SUB-TYPE	LOCATION	FUNCTIONS
Epithelial	· Simple squamous epithelium · Simple cuboidal epithelium · Simple columnar epithelium · Pseudo -stratified columnar epithelium · Stratified squamous · Stratified cuboidal · Stratified columnar · Transitional epithelium	· Air sacs of lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels · Ducts and secretory portions of glands and kidney · Bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus, bladder · Ciliated tissues, trachea, upper respiratory tract · Lines of oesophagus, mouth and vag*na · Sweat glands, salivary glands, mammary glands · Male urethra, ducts of some glands · Lines of bladder, urethra and ureter	· Allows materials to pass through by diffusion, filtration lubrication · Secretes and absorbs · Secretes mucous and enzyme · Secretes mucous, ciliated tissues moves mucous · Protects against abrasion · Protective tissues · Secretes and protects · Allows urinary organs to expands and stretch
connective	· Loose connective tissue · Dense connective tissues · Adipose tissues · Blood · Cartilage · Bone	· Fibroblasts, adipose and WBCs · Fibroblasts · Adipocytes · RBCs and WBCs & platelets · Chondrocytes · Osteocytes, osteoblasts	· Defends the body against antigens · Makes plasma · Oxygen transportation · Preserve fats and heat in body · Makes skeleton · Preserve calcium
nervous	Neurons	Brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout the body	Electrochemical signalling throughout the body, functions of brain body connections, voluntary and involuntary actions
muscle	· Skeletal · Smooth · Cardiac	· Attached to bones · Internal and hollow organs · Heart	· Pull bones and make them move (voluntary) · Move the food, urine etc (involuntary) · Pumps blood and contraction of heart (involuntary)
