Tissue Form & Function

Animal and plant tissues vary in structure and function. [1] Animal tissues include four main types - epithelial, muscle, connective and nervous tissues. Epithelial tissues cover organs, muscle tissues enable movement, connective tissues connect parts of the body, and nervous tissues transmit electrochemical signals. [2] Plant tissues are divided into meristematic and permanent tissues. Meristematic tissues have dividing cells that help plants grow, while permanent tissues aid functions like transport and storage without dividing. [3] Tissues form through cell grouping and specialization, enabling organisms to carry out complex functions.

A tissue is a group of cells, in close
proximity, organized to perform one or
more specific functions.
All living organism is made up of the basic unit called the cell.
Generally, living organisms fall into three categories; animals,
plants, and microbes (microorganism). According to the Cell
Theory, a cell is the structural and functional unit of all these
organisms. Unlike unicellular microbes, animals and plants
show the higher level of organization. They have complex body
structure. Cells are grouped together to form tissues in animals
and plants. These tissues vary in their structure, function, and
origin. Difference between an animal tissue and a plant tissue
are discussed below.
Animal Tissue

Animal body is made of four different types of tissues.

 Epithelial Tissue
 Muscle Tissue
 Connective Tissue
 Nerve Tissue
 Epithelial Tissue: All organs in the body are lined with a group of tissues
called epithelial tissues. They cover the surface of all internal as well as
external organs. There are four types of epithelial tissues: Squamous
epithelium, Stratified epithelium, Cuboidal epithelium and Columnar
epithelium. They may be cuboidal, columnar or even flat. The main
functions of these tissues involve protection, secretion, absorption,
sensation etc..

 Muscle Tissue: This type of tissue forms three types of muscles, namely
skeletal (striated or voluntary) muscle, smooth (non-striated or
involuntary) muscle and cardiac (heart) muscle. They help in movement
by contraction and relaxation of muscles.
 Connective Tissue: As the name suggests, they connect the different
tissues, organs, and parts of the body. Different types of connective
tissues are Areolar tissue, Adipose tissue (fat), Blood, Lymph, Bone, and
Cartilage. They connect and support organs and also transport
substances between organs.

 Nervous Tissue: These tissues are made up of specialized cells called


nerve cells (neurons). They conduct and transmit electrochemical
impulses between neurons.
Plant Tissue
Plant structure is different from the animal skeletal structure. A plant
tissue is different from those in animals. Plant tissues are basically
divided into two: Meristematic tissue and Permanent tissue.

 Meristematic tissue: These tissues comprise of cells which have the


dividing capacity. They are immature and help plants to divide
continuously throughout the life. Depending on the site of location, it
is of three types. Apical, lateral and intercalary meristems. These
meristems enlarge the cell and increase the length and width of the
stem, roots, and leaves.
 Permanent tissue: Permanent tissues are derivative of meristematic
tissue. They don’t have the dividing capability but aid in other
functions like conduction of substances, storage of food etc. Two
types of permanent tissues are found in plants i.e. simple and
complex permanent tissue. Simple permanent tissues include
parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma while complex tissues
are xylem and phloem.
