Distinguish among the four tissue types found in the human body. Provide an example of each type with its function and location. Epithelial tissue covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. The major function of epithelial tissue includes protection‚ secretion‚ absorption‚ and filtration. The skin is an organ made up of epithelial tissue which protects the body from dirt‚ dust‚ bacteria and other microbes that may be harmful. Cells of the epithelial tissue have different shapes

Nervous Epithelial tissue What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue? it never has contact with another cell‚ it always has a free surface. They contain no blood vessels (avascular) and depend on underlying tissues for needed nutrients and oxygen sources to maintain homeostasis. it is usually very thin for this reason

BIOS251 Week 3 Lab Exercise Tissues and Integumentary System 1. Describe the characteristics of epithelial tissue. (5 points) The most basic characteristics of the epithelial tissue is that it covers the surfaces of the body whether internal or external. It acts as a protective covering or boundary for such surfaces‚ including the outer layer of the skin‚ as well as the inner surface of the hallow organs like the stomach‚ colon‚ and blood vessels. Other characteristics is that it is made

Tissues Tissues are sets of the same cells carrying out particular functions these include; epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous. Epithelial tissues are the inside layer of internal and external surfaces and body cavities‚ including ducts carrying secretions from glands. They may be composed of some layers of cells‚ called compound epithelia or just a single layer which is known as simple epithelia. The lowest or bottom layer of cells is attached to the basement membrane for support and

connective tissue. The name means “soft connective tissue that progressively turns to bone.” FOP is a result of a mutation in the body’s tissue repair structures‚ which will cause fibrous tissue to turn to bone‚ or become ossified‚ randomly or upon tissue damage. In the majority of cases‚ any injury can cause the affected joints to become frozen in place indefinitely. Removal of the newly ossified tissue is counterproductive‚ as the attempt at repairing the tissue will simply signal the tissue to regrow
