Blood: The fluid consisting of plasma, blood cells, and platelets that is circulated by the heart
through the vertebrate vascular system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to and waste materials
away from all body tissues
Cartilage: Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans
and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the
elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard
and rigid as bone but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.
Bone: Bones are rigid organs that constitute part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They
support, and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and
store minerals
Epithelial tissue: There are two main types of epithelial tissue: lining and glandular. You can
develop colorectal cancer in both of them. The functions of epithelial Structure
Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and
ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialised to form the covering or lining of all
internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial tissue that occurs on surfaces on the interior of
the body is known as endothelium. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together, with almost no
intercellular spaces and only a small amount of intercellular substance
Connective tissue is a type of tissue made up of fibres forming a framework and support
structure for body tissues and organs. Connective tissue is responsible for providing structural
support for the tissues and organs of the body. This function is important in maintaining the
form of the body, organs and tissues. It also hold the body together and all internal organs into
place bones, heart, kidneys.
A muscle tissue: A tissue composed of fibres capable of contracting to effect bodily movement.
A contractile organ consisting of a special bundle of muscle tissue, which moves a particular
bone, part, or substance of the body such s the heart muscle; the muscles of the arm.
There are three types of muscle tissues- smooth, skeletal and cardiac. Smooth tissues regulate
the blood pressure and flow of blood in arteries. Also found in the digestive system in the
stomach and intestines to cause the peristalsis movement
Nervous tissue: is the material that makes up the brain, spinal cord and network of nerves
around the body. Nervous tissue consists of one or more nerve cell called neurons that relay
messages to and from various parts of the nervous system. Nervous tissue consist of two main
types of cells: neurons and Nerve cells, or neurones transmit nerve impulses that move
information around the body.
Neuroglias are also known simply glia and have various functions in support of nerve cells but
do not transmit nerve impulses themselves. In the brain cell, the brain is like central computer
that controls all bodily functions, then the nervous system is like a network that relays
messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal
cord, which runs from the brain down through the back and contains threadlike nerves that
branch out to every organ and body part.

The nervous system is composed of all nerve tissues in the body. ... These systems generally
but not always work in opposition to each other
The main tissue types of the body and the role these play in two named organs of the body
Produce a presentation which shows an understanding of the four main tissue types and the
role they play in two named organs.
The brain and spinal cord are made up of many cells, including neurons and glia cells. Neurons
are cells that send and receive electro-chemical signals to and from the and from the brain and
nervous system.
