ANIMAL TISSUE


The tissue found in animals have comparatively some different properties than the plant tissue.

Epithelial tissues are the covering and protective tissues in the animal body.

Epithelial tissue covers almost all organs and cavities within the body.

Epithelial tissue also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate.

Epithelial tissue cells are closely packed (as shown in the image given above) and form a continuous layer.

Connective tissues are made up of the cells those are separated by non-living material, and known as an extracellular matrix.

This matrix could be either liquid or rigid.

Connective tissues are further divided as −

             Fibrous connective tissue

             Skeletal connective tissue and

             Fluid connective tissue


Tendons are the example of fibrous connective tissue.

Bone is an example of a skeletal connective tissue.

Bone forms the framework and provide supports to the body.

Blood is an example of fluid connective tissue.

Blood has a fluid (liquid) matrix known as plasma.

In plasma, the red blood cells (RBCs), the white blood cells (WBCs), and the platelets are remaining suspended.

Muscular tissue largely consists of elongated cells, and also known as muscle fibers.

The muscular tissue is accountable for the movements in our body.

The muscular tissue contains special proteins known as contractile proteins; and this protein helps in contraction and relaxation and supports free movement.

The brain, spinal cord, and nerves all are composed of the nervous tissue.

Cells of the nervous tissue are extremely particular and sensitive for being stimulated and then transmitting the stimulus swiftly from one place to another within the body.

The cells of nervous tissue are known as nerve cells or neurons.



Nerve impulses allow us to move our muscles whenever we want to do so.

A week in my life as a Physiology Student

 Medtips Magazine Medicine|lifestyle|Food A Week in My Life as a Physiology Student Hello there!  Welcome back to my blog!  If you’re new here, my name is Godswill  A fourth-year medical college student in the Faculty of Basic Medicine, Department of Human Physiology, University of Calabar. This week, I had an incredible experience attending a zonal conference at Port Harcourt Nigeria, and I’m excited to share the highlights with you. https://www.profitablecpmrate.com/sd3f9izw6r?key=5e340e8deb55161236c662054c277acb Day 1: The Journey Begins On Monday 9th December 2024, I embarked on a road trip to Port Harcourt for a zonal conference themed “Physiology in the Modern Era: Challenges and Opportunities.” Representing my department felt like a big deal, and I was thrilled to travel alongside delegates from my PSA. We left Calabar at noon and arrived in Port Harcourt around 7:30 PM. The journey was long but exciting, and the city’s vibrant energy was captivating. Arriving...

Path to Clinical Physiology in Nigeria

PATH TO CLINICAL PHYSIOLOGY: clinical Physiology Hallmark of Diagnostic Medicine Recently, I've received invitations to share insights on publishing articles about clinical physiology and documenting the journey of starting clinical postings. While I had this idea in mind previously, it gained clarity as I interacted with numerous established and aspiring clinical physiologists. Drawing inspiration and gathering valuable information from these encounters, I've crafted an article with the topic "PATH TO CLINICAL PHYSIOLOGY" that encapsulates the collective wisdom and experiences of those in the field. First of all, WHAT IS CLINICAL PHYSIOLOGY? Clinical Physiology is a branch of medical science that focuses on the study of the normal functioning of the body's systems and how they respond to various stimuli. In Nigeria, the field of Clinical Physiology has evolved, encompassing diverse specialty areas that contribute to the understanding and management of health an...
