Histology covers a wide range of tissues, each with unique characteristics and functions. Some of the commonly studied tissues include:
- Epithelial Tissue: Lines surfaces and cavities of organs, providing protection and facilitating absorption and secretion. - Connective Tissue: Supports, binds, and protects organs. Types include bone, cartilage, and blood. - Muscle Tissue: Responsible for movement. Types include skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. - Nervous Tissue: Comprises neurons and supporting cells, essential for transmitting electrical signals.
