Report on Tissue
• Epidermis - Cells forming the outer surface of the leaves and of the young plant body.
• Vascular tissue - The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These transport fluid and nutrients internally.
• Ground tissue - Ground tissue is less differentiated than other tissues. Ground tissue manufactures nutrients by photosynthesis and stores reserve nutrients.
Connective tissue
Connective tissues are fibrous tissues. They are made up of cells separated by non-living material, which is called extracellular matrix
Muscle tissue
Muscle cells form the active contractile tissue of the body known as muscle tissue. Muscle tissue functions to produce force and cause Nervous tissue
Cells comprising the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system are classified as neural tissue. In the central nervous system, neural tissue forms the brain and spinal cord and, in the peripheral nervous system forms the cranial nerves and spinal ner
Epithelial tissue
The epithelial tissues are formed by cells that cover the organ surfaces such as the surface of the skin, the airways, the reproductive tract, and the inner lining of the digestive tract. The cells comprising an epithelial layer are linked via semi-permeable, tight junctions; hence, this tissue provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ it covers. In addition to this protective function, epithelial tissue may also be specialized to function in secretion and absorption. Epithelial tissue helps to protect organisms .
