EPITHELIAL TISSUE
It is a continuous protective layer of cells that covers the internal and external surfaces of your body and its organs.
Epithelial tissue
Muscle tissue is made up of ...
elongated cells, called muscle fibres.
Connective tissue provides
structural support and holds other tissues in place.
Is found in the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

COVERING EPITHELIUM
There are two types of epithelial tissues
Covering epitheliam and glandular epithelium.
There are three types of muscle tissue:
Striated muscle tissue
Cardiac muscle tissue
Smooth muscle tissue
It provides insulation and a reserve of fuel for the body. It also transports substances within the body.
Connective tissue.
Nerve tissue transmits
information to generate the appropriate responses.
PICTURE 2
Striated muscle tissue
Covering epithelium can be a single layer of cells for example...
The lining of
the digestive tract or walls of blood capillaries.
It forms the muscles that join to the bones and generate their movement. It contracts voluntarily.
Striated muscle tissue
It is found in places like your nose, ears, joints, rib cage and discs between the vertebrae.
Cartilage
Nerve tissue collects
sensory information from both outside and inside the body.
PICTURE 3
Adipose tissue
The cells are arranged_______________ and have__________.
The cells are arranged closely together and have very little interstitial fluid.
Cardiac muscle tissue forms...
the myocardium, which is the muscular layer of the heart. It contracts involuntarily.
is firm but flexible and is a support tissue.
Cartilage tissue
Glial cells
provide nutrition and protect neurons.

Blood tissue
They can secrete substances outside of the body, such as
the sebaceous glands, or into the bloodstream or such as the endocrine glands that produce hormones.
Smooth muscle tissue
It is found in the walls of blood vessels, intestine and bladder. It contracts involuntarily.
It is made up of plasma and blood cells.
Blood tissue
Nerve tissue is located ...
all over the human body in the form of nerves
