Document Summary

Tissues - collections of specialized cells and cell products that carry out a limited number of function. Epithelial tissue- covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways and chambers, and forms glands. Connective tissue- fills internal spaces, provides structural support for other tissues, transports materials within the body, and stores energy. Muscle tissue- specialized for contraction and includes the skeletal muscles of the body, the muscle of the heart, and muscular walls of hollow organs. Neural tissue- carries information from one part of the body to another in the form of electrical impulses. Epithelial tissue has an exposed surface, which faces the exterior of the body or an internal space, and a base which is attached to underlying tissues. Epithelial- layers of the cells that cover internal or external surfaces. They are either attached to or derived from epithelia. Made almost entirely of cells bound closely together by interconnections known as cell junctions.
