Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
This tissue allows the body to interact with both its internal and external environments.
Epithelial Tissue
This tissue protects and supports the body and its organs.
Connective Tissue
Many types of this tissue bind organs together, store energy reserves as fat, and help provide the body immunity to disease causing organisms.
Connective Tissue
This tissue is composed of specialized cells for contraction and generation of force.
Muscular Tissue
This tissue generates heat that warms the body.
Muscular Tissue
This tissue detects changes in a variety of conditions inside and outside of the body and generates responses in the form of electrical signals called nerve action potentials that activate muscular contractions and glandular secretions.
