The Animal Body: Basic Form and Function
The four primary tissues are epithelia, connective tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissues
Practice this chapterThe four primary tissues are epithelia, connective tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissues The basic building blocks of complex animals are four primary tissues.
Animal bodies come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Limits on animal size and shape include impacts to their movement.
four primary tissues — epithelia, connective tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissues. connective tissue — type of tissue made of cells, ground substance matrix, and fibers. columnar epithelia — epithelia made of cells taller than they are wide, specialized in absorption. pseudostratified — layer of epithelia that appears multilayered, but is a simple covering.
Worked example
What does “four primary tissues” mean in The Animal Body: Basic Form and Function?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for four primary tissues.
- 2The book says: epithelia, connective tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissues.
- 3Do not use the meaning of connective tissue. That term means type of tissue made of cells, ground substance matrix, and fibers.
Result: epithelia, connective tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissues
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for four primary tissues.
Do not swap four primary tissues and connective tissue. four primary tissues means epithelia, connective tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissues. connective tissue means type of tissue made of cells, ground substance matrix, and fibers.
