Epithelium Tissue Forms Coverings in the body Produces substances from glands Protection Absorption Filtration Excretion Secretion Sensory Reception
Connective Tissue Most Abundant Tissue Binding and Support Protection Insulation Transportation of Substances
Muscle Tissue The body’s contractile tissue Allows body to move Skeletal Muscle Smooth Muscle Cardiac Muscle
Nervous Tissue Neuron is the functional unit Receives and transmits electrical impulses Sensory perception Homeostatic regulation
