What are Some Examples of Morphological Characteristics in Specific Tissues?
Different tissues exhibit unique morphological characteristics:
Epithelial Tissue: Characterized by closely packed cells with minimal extracellular matrix, often forming protective barriers. Connective Tissue: Contains fewer cells and abundant extracellular matrix, providing structural support. Muscle Tissue: Cells are elongated and often show striations, specialized for contraction. Nervous Tissue: Composed of neurons with long processes and supporting glial cells, specialized for signal transmission.
