Functions of tissue

some of the functions of tissues include the following

1. Epithelial tissues: this act as coverings,

b. it also control the movement of materials across their surface.

2. Connective tissue: this binds the various parts of the body together,

b. it also provides support and protection.

3. Muscle tissue: This allows the body to move about freely

4. Nervous tissues: This functions in communication

There are four different types of tissue.

1. Epithelial tissue, also referred to as epithelium, refers to the sheets of cells that cover exterior surfaces of the body, lines internal cavities and passageways, and forms certain glands.

2. Connective tissue, as it's name implies, blinds the cells and organs of the body together and functions in the protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body.

3. Muscle tissue is excitable, responding to stimulation and contracting to provide movement, and occurs as three major types: skeletal (voluntary) muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle in the heart.

4. Nervous tissue is also excitable, allowing the propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body.
