Epithelial tissues are located in the outer layers of organs and blood vessels
throughout the body. They perform a variety of functions including protection,
secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception

2. Connective tissues provide structural and metabolic support for other tissues
and organs. They also mediate the exchange of nutrients and waste products
between tissues and the circulatory system. Some examples include areolar,
adipose and reticular connective tissues, cartilage and bones.

3. Adipose tissue is different than the other connective tissues because it is the
only connective tissue without real matrix and fibroblast. It supports and
protects organs, provides reserved fuel and insulates against heat loss.

4. Muscle tissue is composed of cells that has the ability to contract unlike other

responding to a stimulus which is dehydration and it is demanding the need for
water/body fluid in order for the blood to circulate properly and clean the
kidneys making us feel the sensation of thirst.
