Tissues - the collection of specialized cells that perform a specific function.
3. 4 TYPES OF TISSUES A. Epithelia
covers exposed surfaces
lines internal passageways and chambers
B. Connective
fills internal spaces
provides structural support
stores energy
4. C. Muscle
contracts to provide active movement
D. Neural
conducts electrical impulses and carries information
5. Epithelial Tissue No blood vessels (avascular)
functions:
1. Provide physical protection.
2. Control permeability
3. Provide sensations
4. Produce specialized secretions. Gland cells
Exocrine - leave body
Endocrine - released internally by gland cells ( ex. Hormones)
