    • Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
      In epithelial tissue, cells are closely packed with little or no extracellular matrix except for the basal lamina that separates the epithelium from underlying tissue. The main functions of epithelia are protection from the environment, coverage, secretion and excretion, absorption, and filtration.
      • Connective tissues bind structures together, form a framework and support for organs and the body as a whole, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, and help repair tissue damage. They occur throughout the body.

        • Muscles are the largest soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Muscle is derived from the Latin word “musculus” meaning “little mouse”. The muscle cell, muscle fibre, contains protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing contractions that move body parts, including internal organs.

          Through contraction, the muscular system performs the following important functions: production of force and movement, supporting of the body, changing of body posture, stability of joints, production of body heat (to maintain normal body temperature), as well as, provision of form to the body.

          • Nervous tissue is specialized tissue found in the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. It consists of neurons and supporting cells called neuroglia.

            The nervous system is responsible for the control of the body and the communication among its parts. Nervous tissue contains two categories of cells—neurons and neuroglia.

            Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. It stimulates muscle contraction, creates an awareness of the environment, and plays a major role in emotions, memory, and reasoning.
