How do Tissues Provide Protection?

Protection is another vital function of tissues, primarily carried out by epithelial tissue and immune cells:
Epithelial Tissue: This tissue forms the outer layer of the body and lines organs and cavities. It acts as a barrier to protect the body from physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration.
Immune Cells: Found in various tissues, immune cells like macrophages and lymphocytes defend the body against infections. These cells can recognize and destroy pathogens, playing a critical role in the body's immune response.
