Q & A
What are the four basic types of tissues in the human body?
-The four basic types of tissues in the human body are epithelial tissue, muscular tissue, connective tissue, and nervous tissue.
What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?
-Epithelial tissue primarily serves as the covering and protecting layer of various organs and cavities within the body, forming a barrier to keep different body systems separate.
What does the term 'squamous' in the context of epithelial cells refer to?
-Squamous refers to a type of epithelial cell that is thin and flat, resembling scales, and is found in places where a very thin barrier is needed, such as blood vessels or lung alveoli.
What is the difference between simple and stratified epithelial tissues?
-Simple epithelial tissues consist of a single layer of cells, while stratified epithelial tissues consist of multiple layers, providing additional protection and the ability to withstand wear and tear.
What are the three types of muscular tissues and their primary locations?
-The three types of muscular tissues are skeletal muscle (attached to the skeleton), smooth muscle (found in the walls of organs like the iris of the eye and bronchi in the lungs), and cardiac muscle (found in the heart).
How does the structure of cardiac muscle differ from skeletal muscle?
-Cardiac muscle cells are branched, cylindrical, and have a single nucleus with intercalated discs that facilitate electrical impulses for rhythmic contractions, unlike skeletal muscle cells which are long, cylindrical, unbranched, and multinucleated.
What is the most important function of blood in the body?
-The most important function of blood is transportation, particularly of oxygen to every cell in the body.
Why is the brain particularly susceptible to damage related to oxygen deprivation?
-The brain is susceptible to oxygen deprivation because it uses 20% of the oxygen that enters the bloodstream, despite making up only 2% of the body mass.
How does the number of bones in the human body change from birth to adulthood?
-Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood, this number reduces to 206 as some bones fuse together during growth.
What are the two main components of the nervous system?
-The two main components of the nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord.
What is the role of glial cells in the nervous system?
-Glial cells support and insulate neurons, supply them with nutrients and oxygen, and help protect them by destroying pathogens.

🧬 Epithelial Tissue: Our Body's Protective Covering
The first paragraph introduces the concept of epithelial tissue, which acts as the body's protective barrier and lining for various organs and cavities. It explains that epithelial tissues can be simple or stratified, with different shapes like squamous, cuboidal, and columnar, each serving specific functions. The paragraph delves into the roles of these tissues, such as providing a permeable surface for substance transport in blood vessels and lung alveoli, and protecting delicate linings in the esophagus and mouth. It also touches on the unique structure of pseudostratified epithelium found in the lungs and emphasizes the importance of epithelial tissues in maintaining the body's integrity and function.
💪 Muscular Tissue: Powering Movement and Expression
This paragraph focuses on muscular tissue, highlighting its role in movement and the unique contractile proteins that enable it. It distinguishes between three types of muscle tissues: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles are voluntary and striated, aiding in deliberate movements, while smooth muscles are involuntary and control functions like blood vessel contraction and eye dilation. Cardiac muscles, found in the heart, are responsible for its rhythmic contractions. The paragraph also includes a quiz about the strongest muscle in the body, which is the tongue, and discusses the importance of muscles in facial expressions and overall health.
🩼 Connective Tissue: The Body's Supportive Framework
The third paragraph explores connective tissue, which includes a variety of substances that connect and support the body's structures. It discusses blood as a type of connective tissue, emphasizing its role in oxygen transportation and the importance of red blood cells containing hemoglobin. The paragraph also covers other connective tissues like bones, which provide the body's framework and support, ligaments and tendons, which connect bones to each other and muscles, respectively, and cartilage, which offers flexibility in areas like the nose and ears. It concludes with a look at softer connective tissues like arol tissue and adipose tissue, which play roles in repair and insulation, respectively.
🧠 Nervous Tissue: The Communication Network of the Body
The final paragraph delves into nervous tissue, which forms the body's complex nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It explains the function of the nervous system in decision-making and communication through electrical signals. The paragraph describes neurons and glial cells, the primary components of nervous tissue, detailing their structures and functions. Neurons are depicted as the communication links, while glial cells are portrayed as supportive, providing nutrients, insulation, and protection. The paragraph concludes by illustrating how nervous tissue works in harmony with muscular tissue to facilitate movement, emphasizing the intricate coordination of different tissues in the body.

Highlights
The human body is primarily composed of four types of tissue: epithelial, muscular, connective, and nervous tissue.
Epithelial tissue acts as the body's covering and protective layer, including the skin and linings of organs and cavities.
Epithelial tissues are classified into simple and stratified types based on the number of cell layers.
Squamous epithelial cells, resembling scales, are very soft and found in areas requiring a thin barrier, such as blood vessels and lung alveoli.
Cuboidal and columnar epithelial cells have distinct shapes and functions, with cuboidal cells providing mechanical support in kidney tubules and salivary glands.
Stratified epithelial tissues, with multiple layers, are found in the skin to withstand wear and tear, and in the lining of the mouth and esophagus.
Pseudostratified epithelium, misleading in appearance, is found in the lungs and has specialized functions.
Muscular tissue is responsible for movement and comes in three varieties: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.
Skeletal muscles are voluntary and show striations under the microscope, while smooth muscles control involuntary movements without striations.
Cardiac muscle, found in the heart, has a unique structure with intercalated discs for electrical impulse transmission.
The tongue is identified as the strongest muscle in the body relative to its size, playing a crucial role in speech and swallowing.
Connective tissue encompasses various substances including bones, blood, and fat, serving diverse functions in the body.
Blood's red color is due to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.
The brain, despite its small size relative to body mass, consumes the most oxygen, highlighting its high metabolic demand.
Bones provide the body's framework and reduce in number from birth to adulthood due to fusion.
Ligaments and tendons are types of connective tissue that connect bones to each other and muscles to bones, respectively.
Adipose tissue serves as a cushion and insulator within the body, with unique cellular structures filled with fat globules.
Nervous tissue forms the nervous system, with neurons and glial cells playing critical roles in transmitting and supporting electrical signals.
Glial cells, despite being less recognized, are more abundant than neurons and provide essential support and protection for them.
The nervous system's coordination with muscular tissue is fundamental to movement, showcasing the body's intricate design.
Transcripts
although we animals are such a bunch of
complicated creatures we are basically
made up of just four types of tissue
epithelial tissue muscular tissue
connective tissue and nervous tissue now
first up is the epithelial tissue you
can think of them as the Thin packing or
covering material of pretty much
everything in our body so if you look at
yourself in the mirror most of what you
see is epithelial tissue so what are
they they are the covering and and
protecting tissues of our body
epithelium covers most organs and
Cavities within the body it also forms a
barrier to keep different body systems
separate so that they can go about their
own function without interfering in
other organ system functions the skin
the lining of the mouth the lining of
the blood vessels the lung alveoli
kidney tubules all of these are made of
epithelial tissue they are again
classified based on how many of them are
there together that is how many layers
are there and how they look now based on
how they look they can be just three of
them very very simple very very easy
they can be like a line they can be like
a cube or they can be like a cylinder
that's it only the one which looks like
a line has a funny name a weird name
actually more than funny
squamous squamous you must be wondering
what on Earth were they thinking I was
also thinking the same thing but uh you
know I realized that SAS has come from a
Latin word
Squam which means the scale of a fish or
a serpent and true to the name they look
like scales just that they aren't that
hard in fact they aren't hard at all
they are very very very soft the other
two have very obvious names cuboidal and
columnar now if you just put a single
layer it's called Simple and if you put
many layers no it's not called
complicated hold on it's called
stratified so simple and stratified
let's do some permutations and
combinations and then you have met every
kind of epithelial cells there is to
meet okay quiz time what's the first one
I'm sure you'll get this it's simple SAS
simply because there is one layer of
Schamus epithelial cells and this one
simple columnar single layer columnar
cells and this one simple cuboidal you
see where I'm getting I'm sure you are
okay what about this one there's more
than one layer so it's stratified what
is the type of cells cuboidal so
stratified cuboidal cells next what
about this this one is also simple many
layers so stratified and type of cells
squas so stratified squalus or squamous
stratified and I've saved the best one
for the last this one is tricky so pay
tension this looks neither simple nor
stratified some cells are wider at the
bottom and narrower at the top while
other cells are narrow at the bottom and
wider at the top it's like they're
faking it right they are faking
stratified epithelium or they're half
stratified epithelium you might have
heard the word pseudo before it means
misleading or deceptive and that's
exactly their mean Pudo stratified
epithelium and they are found in the
lungs and they have some Celia on it
they have an awesome name for that too
pseudostratified cated columnar
epithelial cells wow okay now that you
know how they look you need to
understand what they do they all look
their different special ways for a
reason right so let's understand that
simple squamous for example is found in
cells lining blood vessels or lung
alveoli where transportation of
substances has to happen through a
permeable surface that is in places
where you need a very very very thin
barrier and where else are they found
whenever you need a delicate lining the
esophagus and the lining of the mouth
are also covered with squamous
epithelium now the skin which protects
the body so nicely is also made up of
squamous epithelium but not one layer of
spus epithelium since your body sheds
skin yes it does you just cannot see it
because the particles are way too small
epithelial cells are arranged in many
many layers to prevent bear and tear
around 600,000 particles of skin get
shed every hour you logically cannot
keep regenerating a single layer of spus
eal cells right so here you will have
yes you'll have stratified squamous
epithelial cells so these multiple
layers ensure that the skin can
withstand normal wear and tear you can
actually you know gently very gently
scrape the inner side of his cheek stain
it and observe it under the microscope
you'll find stratified scus epithelial
cells okay where would you find cuboidal
cells in the lining of kidney tubules
and ducts of salivary glands where
mechanical support becomes important now
epithelial cells can graduate further
earn themselves another degree and
specialize themselves to form glands
sometimes a portion of the epithelial
tissue folds Inward and a multicellular
gland is formed this is glandular
epithelium now a gland is an organ which
just gives out stuff the stuff that it
gives out can either be retained inside
the body or secreted outside the body
like salivary glands where saliva goes
out and sweat glands where sweat goes
out these are perfect examples of glands
which secrete substances outside the
body next up muscular tissue when you
think muscular you think movement well
you also conjure up images of Ric ran or
ar or swash and Egger taking care of the
bad guys and you're right a hell lot of
muscle tissue in your biceps and your
triceps will take you closer to the
arnal swash and egar look now you may
already know this it's easier to be
happy it takes 17 muscles to smile and
43 to frown unless you're trying to give
your face you know a workout smiling is
a much easier option for most of us
anyone who's ever scared or frown for a
long period of time knows just how
tiresome it is and how it doesn't do
anything to actually improve your mood
okay so there's something very special
about the muscles they contain an
exclusive protein which helps in
movement these are called contractile
proteins these contract and relax and
then they cause movement contractile
proteins okay muscular tissue comes in
three varieties and they have very very
obvious names one skeletal muscle so
where are they found yes they're
attached to the bones of the body or the
skeleton of the body now these are
muscles that move when you want them to
move they help you make a voluntary
movement and are called voluntary
muscles if I were to skip and jump in
front of you it would be completely
voluntary though totally weird and is a
perfect example of my skeletal muscles
in motion in fact fact you use 200
muscles to take one step that's a lot of
work for the muscles considering that
most of you take about 10,000 steps a
day and if you're not taking 10,000 at
least 10,000 steps a day you're spending
way too much time in front of the TV or
the computer go out and play go on okay
so now back to how skeletal muscles look
how exactly do they look when you stain
them and look at them under the
microscope some striations or B hands
can be seen that's why they're also
called stried muscles the cells in the
muscles are long cylindrical unbranched
and multinucleated multinucleated means
having many nuclei that's all once you
have a nice meal the movement of food
through the digestive tract is the last
thing you need to think about right
that's because our body is so welld
designed that it does it on its own so
if I'm to classify this the example of
movement of food down the elementary
Canal or say the contraction and
relaxation of blood vessels are
involuntary the involuntary muscles
control their movements they do not show
any striations or bands when stained and
because of that they are also called
unstriated muscles very obvious and very
simple names now we cannot stop their
movements even if we want to do so the
iris of the eye and the broni in the
lungs all have unstriated muscles looks
like scientists loved giving them
different names based on how they look
look smooth and spindle like with a
single nucleus they are also called
smooth muscles and the last type the
movement which keeps you alive the
cardiac muscle and I'm sure you have
already guessed where it's found yes in
the heart the muscles of the heart show
a nice rhythmic moment of contraction
and relaxation throughout our life and
how do they look they're cylindrical
branched and they have a single nucleus
they look a lot like stried muscles just
they have these little intercalated
discs that is going to transfer
electrical impulses through the heart
causing these contractions to happen so
if I were to put these three types side
by side what do I see voluntary muscles
also called skeletal muscles long
cylindrical unbranched and multi
nucleate and then I have involuntary
muscles of two types one smooth muscles
that are long with pointed ends spindle
shaped and they have a single nucleus
and cardiac muscles that are branched
cylindrical and again with a single
nucleus now here's a little pop quiz
question for you which is the strongest
muscle in the body I don't think you
would have guess this it's the tongue
yes the tongue while you may actually
not be able to bench press too much with
your tongue it is in fact the strongest
muscle in your body in proportion to its
size if you think about it every time
you eat swallow talk you use your tongue
right ensuring that it gets quite a big
workout throughout day okay connective
tissue and as the name suggests it has
something to do with connections and is
a part of all connecting substances of
our body like bones blood and fat and
what exactly makes blood red the fluid
part of Blood The Matrix is actually
colorless and it's called plasma plasma
contains proteins salts and hormones so
in this plasma you have some red blood
cells what we call rbc's white blood
cells wbcs and plets floating around and
it's the rbcs as you guessed which give
the blood the distinctive red color and
again it's a substance called hemoglobin
inside the RBC which cause it to be red
so what is the most important function
of blood
Transportation yes but transportation of
what oxygen oxygen that drives every
single cell in your body the hemoglobin
in your RBC carries oxygen and supplies
it to every cell in your body and you
know what your brain uses 20% of that
oxygen which enters your bloodstream the
brain only makes up 2% of our body mass
yet consumes more oxygen than any other
organ in the body making it extremely
susceptible to damage related to oxygen
deprivation so breathe deep to keep your
brain happy and swimming in oxygenated
cells now the heart the muscle man of
the circulatory system let's take our
memory back to cardiac muscle pumps the
blood all through the body blood just
cannot flow because of gravitation you
know in fact the human heart you know
creates that much pressure enough
pressure to squirt blood an astounding
30 ft uh there used to be a medieval
misbelief that aristocratic blood was
blue it's of a Spanish origin sangri aul
which means of blue blood and was used
to refer to someone of very high rank
and birth and let's keep the suspense
going I'm going to let you find out why
why is it that Royal families are said
to have or said to have believed to have
blue blood our blood is red for sure
because of the iron content in the
hemoglobin that I spoke about just now
there are some blue blooded creatures
spiders and crabs May for good make for
good examples they have something
similar to blood it's called hemolymph
and there is a copper based pigment in
that which makes it blue what about
white blood cells typically used in
defense to protect our body against
foreign invaders no they're not going to
dish out a sword and armor from your
body and get you War Ready I am talking
about Invaders at a microscopic level
viruses parasites the ones that aren't
really supposed to be in our body but
are there we need to get rid of them
real fast and the wbcs actually help you
do that now platelets are found only in
mammals and they help in the clotting of
blood so three major blood types rbcs
wbcs platelets all swimming around
happily in in the plasma the next type
of connective tissue that you should
know about is the bone the framework
that supports the body and forms the
most valuable archaeological finds due
to which we're able to find out so many
evolutionary relationships and answer
some critical questions like where we
exactly came from one interesting fact
about bones is that you are born with
more bones than when you die yes really
babies are born with 300 bones but by
the time you reach adulthood the number
is reduced to 206 that's because some
bones fuse together as you get
older and your feet account for one
quarter of all your body's bones you may
not really give your feet much thought
but they are home to more bones than any
other part of your body so how many
exactly of the 200 or so bones in the
body of the 206 bones in the body the
feet contain a whooping
52 now Bones come in a very hard Matrix
made up of calcium and phosphorus you
must have seen all these calcium
supplements right that is for
strengthening your
bones now two bones can be connected to
each other by another type of connective
tissue called the ligament when you run
and twist your ankle a minor injury that
could happen to you is a ligament tear a
major injury would be a fracture now
that's where there's a crack in your
bone and if you ever had it you know it
it's very very painful the ligament is
very elastic with very little Matrix and
then you have tendons which connect
muscles to bones they are filled with
fibers and not that elastic okay so to
summarize ligament is bone to bone and
tendon is muscle to Bone so ligaments
and tendons two important type of
connections cartilage is found in your
nose and your ears try twisting them a
bit and you can see that this is
actually possible however you cannot
bend the bones in your arms or legs both
are types of connective tissue but see
how different they are and how does it
look it has some widely spaced cells and
a solid Matrix embedded with proteins
and sugars now let's talk about some of
the softer connective tissues the tissue
that connects the skin and the muscle
all around the blood vessels and in the
bone marrow the bone marrow fills up the
hollow part of the bone it's a little
bit aier if I'm allowed to use that word
compared to Bone and tendon and this
ligament is called AOL tissue this
tissue is like a medical emergency kit
as well and helps in the repair of
damaged tissues another soft tissue that
you would read about or learn about is
the fat tissue or the adipose tissue
that does all the cushioning and in some
cases the extra cushioning of our body
and where is the is found this is easy
between the skin and the internal organs
the cells of this tissue are filled with
fat globules and this also will serve as
an insulator so you have blood cells
bone ligament tendons arol tissue
adipose tissue all unique all special
all important and all different types of
connective tissue and we made our
journey to the last tissue the nervous
tissue
it comes together to form nervous system
of the body whose main components are
the big boss the brain and the spinal
cord so what exactly does the nervous
system do it takes all important
decisions for you about what the body
should do how it should look like and so
on and so on and since this is such an
important system you would have guessed
that the cells in the system would be
super special too and you are right the
nervous tissues comprised of very very
special cells called neurons and Gile
cells now the work of the nervous system
is to one send stimuli like touch smell
taste sight and hearing and two send
impulses across the body through
electrical signals now neurons look like
typical cells with a cell body and a
nucleus now this is an important diagram
from an exam point of view and will make
it very easy if you ask me for an
analogy as you can see it looks
something like a tree with branches the
trunk and The Roots the branches are the
dendrites the trunk is the axon and the
routs are called the axon terminals you
heard that word before right what
exactly happens in a train or a bus
terminal trains or buses come in and go
out similarly at the axon terminals
important information through electrical
impulses transferred from one neuron to
the other they actually high jump across
from one neuron to the other through the
small space called the synapse but gal
cells they aren't as famous as neurons
right in fact all the attention is
stolen by the nerve cells no one even
talks about Gia that is plural for gal
cells but the fact is that there are 10
to 50 times more gal cells in our body
than nerve cells but neurons cannot even
function properly without the gal cells
they are the personal secretaries of the
neuron and do a lot of chores for the
neurons they hang around in bunches all
around the nerve cells in Greek actually
Gia means glue the glue of the nervous
system although only this is partially
accurate they do go surround the neurons
and support them but along with that
they Supply nutrients and oxygen to the
neurons they insulate one neuron from
the other and they also destroy
pathogens and help in protecting these
neurons many nerve fibers bundle up
together with the connective tissue and
make up a nerve the nerve impulses
generated allow us to actually move our
muscles so this nice
neat interplay of nervous and muscular
tissue is fundamental to movement you
can clearly see how different tissues
come together in such perfect
coordination to give you the gift of
life
