    This document defines and describes the four main types of tissues in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. It provides details on the characteristics, functions, classifications, and components of each tissue type. Epithelial tissues line body surfaces and cavities and perform protective, secretory, selective absorption and other functions. Connective tissues connect and support other tissues and include fibers and ground substance. Muscle tissues contract to produce movement and maintain posture, with three types: skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Nervous tissue consists of neurons and neuroglial cells that conduct electrical signals and perform sensory and motor functions.

    Epithelia
    ●
    Epithelial tissue, or an epithelium (plural:
    epithelia), is a sheet of cells that covers a
    body surface or lines a body cavity.
    ●
    It occurs in the body as
    (1) covering and lining epithelium
    (2) glandular epithelium.
    ●
    Functions:
    (1) protection (skin)
    (2) absorption (intestine)
    (3) filtration (glomerulus of kidney)
    (4) excretion (tubules of kidney)
    (5) secretion (glands)
    (6) sensory reception (ear, nose).
    Epithelia - characteristics
    1. Polarity - apical, lateral, basal domains.
    ●
    Apical domain - microvilli, cilia, stereocilia.
    ●
    Lateral domain - cell junctions:
    ●
    Tight junction (zonula occludens)
    ●
    Gap junctions
    ●
    Desmosomes (macula adherens)
    ●
    Basal domain - basement membrane.
    2. Specialized connections.
    3. Supported by connective tissue - basal lamina.
    4. Avascular but innervated.
    5. Regeneration.
