5. Epithelial Tissue Covers and protects body surface Lines body cavities
Specializes in moving substances into and out of blood
Forms many glands

9. Connective Tissue
Specialized to support the body surface to connect and hold them together
Transport substances through the body

Have many nuclei
3 main types: Cardiac, smooth, skeletal
