Epithelial Tissue

Fuction: provides protection, secretion, absorption, and sensation. It acts as a barrier against
physical and chemical damage.

Example: Found in the lining of blood vessels (endothelium) and the alveoli of the lungs. It
facilitates the exchange of gases and nutrients.

Connective Tissue

Function: Provides structural support, binds organs together, stores energy (as fat), and
facilitates the transportation of substances.

Example: Adipose Tissue: Stores fat and provides insulation, cushioning, and a source of
energy.

Muscle Tissue

Function: Responsible for movement and generating force. There are three types of muscle
tissue: skeletal (voluntary movement), smooth (involuntary movement in organs), and cardiac
(involuntary contraction in the heart).

Smooth Muscle Tissue: Found in the walls of organs like the digestive tract and blood vessels,
controlling involuntary processes.

Nervous Tissue

Function: Enables communication between different parts of the body and coordinates various
physiological functions. Nervous tissue consists of neurons and supporting cells called
neuroglia.

Neurons: These are the primary functional cells of the nervous system. They transmit electrical
signals (nerve impulses) to communicate information throughout the body
