Epithetal Tissues
1. Functions
  1. Protection, filtration, secretion, absorption and excretion.
2. Examples
  1. Simple squamous epithelium.
    1. Simple cuboidal epithelium.
      1. Simple columnar epithelium.
        Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.
        Stratified squamous epithelium.
3. Characteristics
  1. Tightly packed cells that form a continuous layer.
4. Classification
  1. Covering and lining epithelium.
Functions
1. It binds together, supports, and strengthens other body tissues.
  1. Protects and insulates internal organs.

        Is the primary location of stored energy reserves (fat)
        Is the main source of immune responses.
Examples
1. Loose connective tissue.
  1. Adipose tissue
    1. Blood
      1. Fribrous connective tissue
        Cartilage
        Bone
Characteristics
1. Has cells that are widely separated by a matrix, which is a noncellular material that is made up of a ground substance and fibers.
  1. The ground substance is the component of the connective tissue between the cells and fibers
Classification
1. Loose fibrous connective tissue, dense fibrous connective tissue, adipose tissue, reticular connective tissue, cartilage, bone and the liquid connective tissues that are blood and lymph.
