The document describes the 4 main types of human tissue: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue forms sheets that cover surfaces and line cavities. Connective tissue supports and connects other tissues, transporting nutrients. Muscle tissue is made of contractile cells that power movement. Nervous tissue forms the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, controlling body functions and processing sensory information.

Tissue looks like a sheet. - Epithelial tissues can be found throughout the body. They cover all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and make up the vast majority of gland tissue. - Squamous epithelial cells are found inside blood vessels, cuboidal epithelial cells are found in ducts like the kidney, and columnar epithelial cells are found in the lining of the small intestine. 2. Connective - tissue that supports, Tissue protects, and structures the body's other tissues and organs. It also helps in storing fat, transport nutrients as well as other substances between tissues and organs, and repair damaged tissues. One of its functions is to transport substances throughout the body. - these are the example of some types of connective tissue is loose connective tissue, which holds organs in place. Under loose connective tissue, there is Areolar tissue, which can be found in mucous membranes, Reticular tissue, which can be found in lymphoid organs such as tonsils, and Adipose tissue, which can be found beneath the skin. Dense connective tissue, that could be found in tendons or ligaments, is the second type of connective tissue. 3. Muscle Tissue - muscles are made up of fibers of muscle cells that are connected together in sheets and fibers. Muscle tissue is the only type of tissue that has cells that can contract, and it makes up the majority of the tissues in the muscles. - there are 3 types of muscle cells: cardiac muscle tissue, also known as myocardium, which is only found in the wall of the heart, skeletal muscle tissue, which is a cylindrical shaped cell attached to bones by tendons, and smooth muscle tissue, which is found at the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and stomach. 4. Nervous - organ system that Tissue controls body movements, sends and receives signals to and from various parts of the body, and plays a role in controlling body parts It also raises environmental consciousness and stimulates muscle contraction. - It also acts in major role in emotions, reasoning of a person and its memory. - nervous tissues can be found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and that they are made up of nerve cells known as neurons
