To do a specialized activity, same cells combine together to form a tissue. Study of tissues is called Histology, and one who specialized in Histology is called Histologist.
There are different kinds of tissues in our body to perform different functions. Similar cells combine together to form a tissue.
Different kinds of tissues:
1. Nerve tissue
2. Connective tissue
3. Muscle tissue
4. Epithelial tissue
Now we study about all tissue types one by one:
1. Nerve tissue: Nerve tissues are combination of nerve cells as we have already studied the main function of nerve cells is conduction of impulses through out the body, and so the job of nerve tissue is also the conduction of impulses.
2. Connective tissue: The examples for Connective tissues are Adipose tissue, Cartilage and bone. Cartilage is an elastic and fibrous tissue attached to bones.
3. Muscle tissue: There are two types of Muscle tissues in our body such as Voluntary muscles and Involuntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are found in legs and arms and in the parts of the body where the movement is voluntary. Involuntary muscles are found in our body where the movement is involuntary or the movement is not in our conscious control, such as heart and digestive system. Cardiac muscle is a best example for an involuntary muscle tissue.
4. Epithelial tissue: These tissues are placed through out the body as a covering or lining or internal organs in exocrine and endocrine glands as well as an external covering covers the body as skin.
