Groups of specialized cells that function together to perform specialized tasks
Tissue
Four types of animal tissue
- Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nervous tissue
- Epithelial Tissue
Lines body cavities and the outer surface of the body
protects structures
Forms glands that produce hormones, enzymes, and sweat
Made of cells tightly packed together
- Connective Tissue
Supports & protects structures
For the blood
Stores fat
Fills empty space
- muscle Tissue
Allows for movement
- Nervous Tissue
Responds to stimuli
Transmits & stores information
