Tipos de tejido

Hay cuatro tipos básicos de tejido: tejido conectivo, tejido epitelial, tejido muscular y tejido nervioso. El tejido conectivo sostiene y une otros tejidos como el óseo, el sanguíneo y el linfático. El tejido epitelial sirve de cobertura; entre éstos se encuentran la piel y el revestimiento de varios conductos en el interior del cuerpo. El tejido muscular consta de músculos estriados o voluntarios que mueven el esqueleto y de músculo liso, tal como el que rodea al estómago. El tejido nervioso está formado por células nerviosas o neuronas y sirve para llevar "mensajes" hacia y desde varias partes del cuerpo.
