What are the Main Types of Tissues Studied in Histology?
There are four main types of tissues studied in histology:
Epithelial Tissue: Covers body surfaces and lines hollow organs, cavities, and ducts. It plays roles in protection, secretion, and absorption. Connective Tissue: Supports and binds other tissues. It includes bone, blood, and adipose tissues. Muscle Tissue: Responsible for movement. It includes skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissues. Nervous Tissue: Comprises neurons and glial cells, essential for transmitting and processing information.
