Tissues
Body tissues are classified into four types, based on
i. Epithelial tissue (covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms
glands).
ii. Connective tissue (binds and supports body parts).
iii. Muscle tissue (moves the body and its parts).
iv. Nervous tissue (receives stimuli and transmits nerve impulses).
Four basic tissue types: Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
