  2. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function. [1] [2] Tissues occupy a biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ. Accordingly, organs are formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues. [3]

  3. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Intermediate filaments are heteropolymers whose subunits vary among the cell types in different tissues. Some of the subunit proteins of intermediate filaments include vimentin , desmin , lamin (lamins A, B and C), keratin (multiple acidic and basic keratins), and neurofilament proteins ( NF–L , NF–M ).

  4. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    Dense connective tissue also known as fibrous tissue [8] is subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue. [9] Dense regular connective tissue, found in structures such as tendons and ligaments , is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion, giving it tensile strength in one direction.

  5. Histology - Wikipedia

    There are four basic types of animal tissues: muscle tissue, nervous tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial tissue. [5] [9] All animal tissues are considered to be subtypes of these four principal tissue types (for example, blood is classified as connective tissue, since the blood cells are suspended in an extracellular matrix, the plasma). [9]

  6. Epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelium

    Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of cells with little extracellular matrix. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Epithelial (mesothelial) tissues line the outer surfaces of many internal organs, the corresponding inner surfaces of body cavities, and the inner surfaces of blood vessels.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_matrix

    In biology, the extracellular matrix (ECM), [1] [2] also called intercellular matrix (ICM), is a network consisting of extracellular macromolecules and minerals, such as collagen, enzymes, glycoproteins and hydroxyapatite that provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells.
