Three types of epithelial tissue
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Columnar
One cell thick
Simple
2 or more layers thick
Stratified
Supports and joins the body parts together.
Connective Tissue (composed of cells surrounded by a large quantity of intercellular matrix.)
Main types of connective tissue
Connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, adipose and blood
This is a contractile tissue composed of cells called muscle fibers.
Muscular Tissue
Muscular Tissue are responsible for
