Table of Contents

Animal Tissue

Tissue	Job	Made of
Epithelial	Cover & protect surfaces	Thin sheets of cells
Connective	Link / support / transport	Blood, bone, cartilage
Muscular	Move body parts	Muscle cells (contract & relax)
Nervous	Carry messages	Neurons

Key points

Muscle cells contract → chest moves when we breathe.
Blood (connective tissue) brings O₂ & food to every cell, takes waste to liver & kidney.

Animal Tissue Short Notes Class 9 Tissue Chapter 6

Epithelial Tissue

Type	Shape / Feature	Where found	Job
Simple squamous	Flat, thin	Blood vessels, lung alveoli, mouth, oesophagus	Quick exchange
Stratified squamous	Many layers	Skin	Wear-tear protection
Columnar	Tall, pillar-like	Intestine (absorb), respiratory (with cilia)	Absorb / secrete + sweep mucus
Cuboidal	Cube-shaped	Kidney tubules, salivary ducts	Support
Glandular	Folded in	Glands	Secrete substances

Quick facts

Cells packed tight → no gaps; all entries/exits cross at least one layer.
Basement membrane below every sheet.

Connective Tissue

Tissue	Matrix	Key Cells / Fibres	Main Job
Blood	Fluid (plasma)	RBC, WBC, platelets	Transport gases, food, hormones, waste
Bone	Hard (Ca + P salts)	Osteocytes	Support body, anchor muscles, protect organs
Ligament	Elastic, little matrix	Strong fibres	Bone-to-bone (flexible link)
Tendon	Fibrous, low stretch	Collagen bundles	Muscle-to-bone (strong pull)
Cartilage	Firm (protein + sugar)	Chondrocytes	Smooth joint surfaces; nose, ear, trachea, larynx
Areolar	Jelly-like	Fibroblasts	Fills spaces, supports organs, repairs
Adipose	Fat-filled cells	Adipocytes	Store fat, insulate, cushion

Quick facts

All connective tissues = cells + matrix (type decides function).

Muscular Tissue

Type	Control	Striations	Shape & Nuclei	Where found	Job
Skeletal / Striated / Voluntary	Yes (by will)	Yes (bands)	Long, cylindrical, unbranched, many nuclei	Limbs, bones	Body movement
Smooth / Unstriated / Involuntary	No	None	Spindle-shaped, pointed ends, 1 nucleus	Gut, vessels, iris, ureters, bronchi	Slow, steady inner movements
Cardiac	No (rhythmic)	Faint	Cylindrical, branched, 1 nucleus	Heart wall	Pump blood lifelong

Quick facts

All muscle cells = muscle fibres.
Contractile proteins shorten / relax → movement.

Nervous Tissue

Part	What it is	Job
Neuron (nerve cell)	Cell body + nucleus + cytoplasm	Receive & send signals
Dendrites	Many short branches	Collect stimulus / impulse
Axon	One long fibre (up to 1 m)	Carry impulse away
Nerve	Bundle of axons + connective tissue	Fast message highway

Quick facts

Found in brain, spinal cord, nerves.
Nerve impulse → muscle → rapid movement.
