Tissue areas can be classified into four primary types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Each type has unique characteristics and functions:
Epithelial Tissue: Covers body surfaces and lines body cavities. It is involved in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Connective Tissue: Supports, binds, and protects other tissues and organs. It includes various forms such as bone, blood, and adipose tissue. Muscle Tissue: Responsible for movement. It is classified into three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Nervous Tissue: Comprises neurons and supporting cells, responsible for transmitting and processing information through electrical and chemical signals.
