Select 5 different organs, describe the tissues that comprise each organ, and explain the function of those tissues as they relate to that specific organ.
Organ | tissues associated | primary functions of that organ | function of of tissue | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Brain | nervous tissue connective tissue and epithelial tissue | control of body system and behaviour | nervous tissue, cells comprising the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system are classified as nervous tissue. In the central nervous system, neural tissue form the brain and spinal cord. In the peripheral nervous system, neural tissues form the cranial nerves and spinal nerves, inclusive of the motor neurones. | |||
Skin | epithelial tissue nervous tissue connective tissue and muscular tissue | protection and support and containment also temperature and fluid regulation |
epithelial tissue. The epithelial tissue are formed by cells that cover the organ surface such as the surface of skin, Airway, surface of soft organs and the reproductive tract and inner lining of digestive tract. The cells comprising and epithelial layer are linked via semipermeable tight junctions, hence this tissue provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ it covers. In addition to this protective function, epithelial tissue may also be specialised to function in secretion and excretion and absorption. Epithelial tissue helps to protect organs from microorganisms and injury and fluid loss.

Stomach | epithelial tissue connective tissue muscular tissue and nervous tissue | chemical and mechanical digestion of blood | muscular tissue. Muscle cells form the active contractile tissue of the body known as muscle tissue for Muscular tissue. Muscle tissue function to produce force and cause motion, Either locomotion aur movement within internal organs. Muscle tissue is separated into three distinct categories, visceral or smooth muscle, found in the inner lining of organs stomach; skeletal muscles typically attached to bone which generate gross movement. And Cardiac muscles found in heart where it contracts to pump blood throughout an organism. | |||
Sternum | epithelial tissue connective tissue and nervous tissue | support and protection and blood cell production |
connective tissue. Connective tissue are fibrous tissues made up of cells separated by non living material, which is called an extracellular matrix. This metrics candy liquid or rigid. For example blood contains plasma as its matrix and bone's matrix is rigid. Connective tissue give shape to organs and hold them in place. Blood, bone, tendon, ligament, adipose, and areolar tissue are example of connective tissue. One method of classify and connective tissue is to divide them into three types. Fibrous connective tissue Skeletal connective tissue Fluid connective tissue. |

Kidney | epithelial connective and nervous tissue. | Waste removal and fluid regulation | all are covered above. |
