Tissues: Epithelial and connective, the Integumentary system and Endocrine system anatomy overview Flashcards
Epithelial tisuue
-covers exposed surfaces
-lines internal passageways
Connective tissue
Comprises much of the body. Binds structures, provides support/protection, frameworks
Muscle tissue
Contractile, pull at their attached ends, muscle fibers
Nervous tissue
sences certain types of changes in their enviorments and respond by transmitting nerve impulses to other nerve cells
Epithelial Tissue Charracteristics
Basal lamina, Apical surface, Lack blood vessels, Readily divide/repair, intercellular junctions, Secretion, absorption, excretion
