a group of similar celss specialized to perform a specific function
primary types: epithelial, connective, muscle,and nervous |
|
|
Epithelial Tissue
|
one of the primary tissues; covers the surface of the body and lines body cavaties, ducts, a vessels
|
|
|
Connective tissue
|
primary tissue; form and function vary extensively; functions include support, storage, and protection.
|
|
|
Muscle Tissue
|
highly specialized to contract or shorten to produce movemnt
ex: skeletal, cardiac, smooth |
|
|
Nervous Tissue
|
made up of cells called neurons and supporting cells
|
|
|
gland
|
organ specialized to secrete or excrete substances for further use in the body for elimination
