why are animals heterotrophic

what are the defining characteristics of animals
nervous and muscle fibers
what are tissues
group of similar cells acting as a functional unit
what provides structural support for epithelial tissue
basement membrane
functions of epithelial tissue
protection, absorption, secretion
tissue that covers outside of the body, lines organs and cavities, closely joined cells
epithelial
shape of epithelial tissue that regulate different passages in the body
squamous
shape of epithelial tissue for absorption and secretion eg. kidney, thyroid
cuboidal
shape of epithelial tissue for absorption of nutrient eg intestine
columnar
tissue found in the skin
stratified squamous epithelial
example of where to find simple squamous epithelium
alveoli
simple columnar epithelium example location
intestine or stomach
cuboidal epithelium example of location
kidneys
main function of connective tissue
bind and support other tissues
