What is a group of cells with similar structure and function plus extracellular substance?
tissue
the study of tissues
histology
what are the four types of tissues?
epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
what is the location of epithelial tissues? list some examples
coversbody (internal/external)
Ex. skin, kidney, glands

-act as barrier(skin keeps bacteria out)
-diffusion and filtration(lungs and kidneys)
-secretion(sweat glands)
-absorption(small intestine)
how are epithelial tissues classified?
according to number of cell layers and cell shape
-simple vs. stratified(identifies number of cell layers)
-squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional(cell shape)
what cell surface increase the surface area of a cell for max. absorption of substances? List Ex.

What is hard connective tissue consisting of two types: compact and spngey?
bone
what type of cells are bones composed of?
Osteocytes
-osteoblasts-build bone cells
-osteoclasts-break down bone cells
Compare spongey and compact bone.
-compact-stronger, makes yellow bone marrow
