2.1 Body Systems


 * 2.1 Tissues: The Foundation of Body Systems** page 58

"Tissue" comes from a Latin word meaning to weave. It is made up of cells that are "woven", or held together by fibres or sticky materials that are found between cells of tissues. Muscle tissue, like the skeletal muscle tissue, helps in body movement. It helps some organs carry out specific functions such as pumping blood from the heart. Nerve tissues transfer signals in the body and organs to tell the body how to repond to changes in its internal and external environments. The third tissue in your body is the connective tissue. It helps by holding together and supporting other tissues, such as the skeletal connective tissue. Connective tissue connects, protects, and insulates the organs in the body. The last important tissue in the human body is the epithelial tissue. It covers the surface of the organs and body, while also lining the inside of body parts, such as the mouth, esophagus, and stomach. . Organs depend on tissues to work together and perform a task like pumping blood by your heart. Tissues have a vital role in the body.
