General Regeneration- epithelial has a high rate of cell division, that’s why it
characteristics can replace damage cell or lost cell easily.
of Epithelial Function- protection, secretion, absorption, and sensation.
tissue Attachment- the lower surface of the tissue is connected to a
membrane situated beneath it. This membrane serves as a support
structure for the tissue.
Avascularity- Epithelial tissues does not possess blood vessels.
Instead it relies of the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen, from blood
vessels or underlying tissues.
Cellularity- Epithelial tissue consists of cells that are closely packed
together with minimal extracellular matrix separating them
Classify Based on the number of cells
epithelial Simple- single layer, involves absorption, secretion and filtration
tissues based Stratified- Two or more layers, provides protection against wear
on the number and tear.
of cell and the Based on the shaped of the cells
shape of the Squamous- flat and thin, for diffusion and filtration
cell Cuboidal- cube shaped with equal height and width. They have
secretory and absorptive functions.
Columnar- column shape being taller than they are wide. Their
main function includes absorption and secretion.

Describe the Connective Tissue Proper

classification • Loose Connective Tissue-
of connective • Dense Connective tissue-provides strength and resistance to
tissue tension
Cartilage
• Hyaline Cartilage-provides smooth surfaces for joint
movement and support structures
• Fibrocartilage-found in intervertebral discs and some joints
• Elastic Cartilage-provides flexibility and shape

Give example
of each major
type
Discuss three Skeletal Muscle Tissue- attached to bones by tendons.
type of muscle Multinucleated and have long, cylindrical cells. It enables body
tissue movement, posture maintenance and voluntary actions.
 Cardiac Muscle Tissue- Consists of branching cells connected by
intercalated discs, which allow electrical signals to pass between
cells. Has the ability to contract continuously without fatigue due to
their reliance on aerobic metabolism.
Smooth Muscle Tissue- Found in the walls of internal organs,
blood vessels and air ways. Have spindled shape cells with single
nucleus. They help move substances through various body
systems, such as digestion, blood circulation.

nervous tissue to do. Controls your actions and keeping things in balance.
