00:00:00 - 00:25:00

The YouTube video titled "Tipos de tejido: Clasificación, características, funciones - Anatomía Humana | Kenhub" provides a comprehensive overview of the four main tissue types in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers both the exterior and interior of our body, and epithelial cells are classified based on their morphology and organization. Connective tissue is the most abundant and diverse tissue in the body, and it provides structure and support, connects and binds tissues, protects the body, and serves as an energy storage and transport system. Muscular tissue is responsible for voluntary movement and posture, and there are three main types: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Finally, nervous tissue includes neurons and support cells called glial cells, and it is subdivided into the central and peripheral nervous systems.

• 00:00:00 In this section, we learn that there are roughly 32 trillion cells in our body, with over 200 types of specialized cells that work together to achieve homeostasis. These specialized cells form the four main types of tissues in the body: epithelial, muscular, connective, and nervous tissue. Within these tissues, we find different types of cells, each with a specific function. The first tissue we explore is epithelial tissue, which covers both the exterior and interior of our body, providing protection and coverage. Epithelial tissue can either be the lining or the glandular tissue, which is responsible for producing and secreting macromolecules into the bloodstream or directly onto an epithelial surface. Epithelial cells are classified by their morphology and organization, with cuboidal, squamous, and columnar being the most common shapes. They are also usually either simple or stratified, meaning there is either one layer of cells or multiple layers, respectively.
• 00:05:00 In this section, the different types of epithelial tissues have been described, including simple and stratified cuboidal, squamous, and columnar epithelia. Each type of tissue has specific functions, such as absorption, secretion, protection, and lubrication. The epithelial tissues also have specialized projections on their surfaces, like microvilli, stereocilia, and cilia, to optimize absorption and movement of substances along the epithelial surface. Additionally, the unique epithelial tissue called transitional epithelium, or urothelium, found in the urinary tract has been discussed. Finally, the role of the membrane basal as a specialized extracellular matrix that provides support to tissues has been explained.
• 00:10:00 In this section, the video discusses the characteristics and functions of the tissue type known as connective tissue, which is the most abundant and diverse tissue in the body. The tissue is made up of cells in a matrix extracellular that contains various types of fibres, such as collagen, elastic, and reticular, which provide physical properties to different types of connective tissues. Connective tissue's main function is to provide structure and support, connect and bind tissues, protect the body, and act as an energy storage and transport system. The tissue type contains various cell types, either immature or mature, that produce and maintain the specific connective tissue. Connective tissue also contains immune cells that protect the body against foreign invaders. The tissue can be classified based on the type of matrix extracellular, which can be liquid, semi-solid, or solid.
• 00:15:00 In this section, the different types of connective tissues are discussed, including those with liquid matrices such as blood composed of red and white blood cells suspended in plasma. Other types have semi-solid matrices including loose connective tissue, reticular tissue acting like a framework for other cells, and adipose tissue which surrounds organs and is composed of fat cells. Dense connective tissue is also discussed, including the regular type containing a lot of collagen and organized fibers, irregular type with a more disorganized structure, and elastic type with flexible elastic fibers. Lastly, solid matrix connective tissue like cartilage is reviewed, with the cartilage hialino type specifically mentioned as the most common in the body.
• 00:20:00 In this section, we learn about different types of connective tissue, including cartilage and bone. Cartilage includes hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage, and epiphyseal cartilage, and all contain chondroblasts or chondrocytes. Bone tissue, on the other hand, comes in two forms: compact or cortical and spongy or trabecular, with the latter containing spaces where bones produce and store bone marrow. The video also covers the three types of muscle tissue: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles, which differ in their appearance and location in the body. Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the heart, while smooth muscle surrounds arteries and various organs in the digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts. Skeletal muscle is associated with the skeletal system and is responsible for voluntary movement and posture.
• 00:25:00 In this section, the four types of tissues in the body are discussed. Firstly, the epithelial tissue is categorized according to its lining or glandular functions. Then, the connective tissue is explored, which includes blood, semisolid and solid matrices. The next type is the muscular tissue, which includes three main types - cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Lastly, the nervous tissue, which includes neurons and support cells called glial cells, is discussed. The system is subdivided into the central and peripheral nervous systems.
