Epithelial tissue Epi - upon | thele - nipple |
Small amount of ECM thin Aggregated polyhedral cells For lining the surface or body cavities; glandular secretion |
|
|
|
Connective tissue |
Abundant amount of ECM For support and protection of tissues/organs |
|
|
|
Muscle tissue |
Moderate amount of ECM Elongated cells For strong contractions and body movements |
|
|
|
Nervous tissue |
Very small amount of ECM Long, fine processes For receiving, generating, and transmitting nerve impulses |

Cells responsible for the organ's specialized functions |
|
|
|
Stroma |
Cells which have a supporting role in the organ |
