Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 3 TSC 058 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Four Tissue Types
Captions available
The idea
The body is built from four main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissue.
In practice
Epithelium covers surfaces and lines cavities; connective tissue binds and supports; muscle moves; nervous tissue carries signals.
Where people slip
Each tissue handles differently under instruments, which is one reason surgeons choose different instruments for different tissues.
