Activity “Know my worth: General Functions of Animal

Tissue”

I. Objective:

Specify the general functions of each animal tissue

II. Procedure:
Fill up the table below with the appropriate function based on the type
of animal tissue. Choose your answer from the box below, write only the
letter.
 Functions Type of Tissue
1.) Provides barrier between the
external environment and the A
organ it covers.
2.) Transmit nerve impulses around D
the body
3.) Excretes waste products such as A
sweat from the skin
4.) Responsible for virtually all the C
movements of the body, both
inside and out.
5.) Specialized to function in secretion A
and absorption
6.) Help to hold the other tissues B
together like during the formation
of organs and have the ability to
stretch and contract positively.
7.) Maintaining mineral homeostasis B

8.) Protects organisms from A

microorganisms, injury, and fluid

loss.

9.) The contraction helps the organs C

carry out their functions

10.) Responsible for the carrying D
of electrical and chemical signals
from the brain and central nervous
system to the periphery, and vice
versa

Type of Tissue
A. Epithelial tissue
B. Connective tissue
C. Muscle Tissue
D. Nervous Tissue
 Assessment
