Intro to Histology: The Four Tissue Types | Corporis

The four types of tissue you find in your body are muscles, nervous tissue, epithelial tissue, and connective tissue. But they all look really similar at first glance under a microscope. The goal of this video is to clarify some of those tissue types and give you real world examples.

Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m a freelance science writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and a master’s in clinical exercise physiology. I used to work in the clinical setting as a certified athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. After working in the clinical setting, I went back to school and became a teacher. The goal of my content is to help normal people, not just pre-med students, learn about the human body. That might mean explaining a topic from an anatomy class or exploring a topic from medical history.

It so amazing how youtubers on biology are saving our a**. They explain way better than our professors in classes. They just throw the lessons on our faces like dirty laundry and we have to sorte them out by ourselves. My classmate just send me this video to watch and I like it. Your explanation is clear like crystal. Thanks I appreciate it 🙏

the 4 types of tissues are obviously kleenex, puffs, charmin, and bounty

Your page is AMAZING!!!!! I am two weeks into my anatomy class with an exam this coming Tuesday on 4 Chapters including LAB. To say I am lost and confused is an understatement lol. However, your videos are truly helping me understand this stuff. I can cry from happiness. I hope everyone struggling comes across your page. Wonderful resource.

I'm a week late to Histology this summer, so this is really helping me out. Thank you SO SO SO MUCH for breaking it down like this, including pictures, and explaining the meanings of the names. Rote memory seems to be the charm for me, but I'm also relying on photographic memory (thus the visuals with text body works wonders for my brain.) Much Aloha!!!

I'm taking anatomy and the way the teacher explains it feels overwhelming to me, she doesn't break down the word like "striated" and "pseudostratified" and how simple squamous means one layer of flat cells, it helps so much how this professor makes it easier for us to understand what is what. And the pictures too, thank you so much for making histology interesting and learnable!!(:

[@mad8805]

I understand tissues. I can memorize the different types of tissues, their functions, and locations. But I CAN NOT for the life of me figure out what they all look like because they all look the damn same and my teacher told me “epithelial tissue has a lumen but connective tissue doesn’t, what look like lumen on the connective tissue are actually cells” well let me tell you the lumen and cells look IDENTICAL and then she told me to look at the nuclei within the actual tissue to be able to tell where the cells are...but BOTH pictures of the tissues have nuclei that isn’t in the white part (the white part is the lumen/cell I’m talking abt) also because we were looking at adipose tissue which has fats and oils in the cells, the nucleus is pushed to the side so you can’t even see it under the microscope😑 There’s no way for me to differentiate them. I give up.
