Tissues of various types
Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue are the four basic tissue types defined by their morphology and function.
Epithelial tissue serves as a protective barrier and aids in ion and molecule diffusion.
Other tissue types are supported and underpinned by connective tissue.
Muscle tissue contracts to cause the body to move.
The central and peripheral nervous systems use nerve tissue to transmit and integrate information.
