TISSUES
4 Main types of tissues:
Epithelial tissue protects the body by covering internal and external surfaces
Connective tissue supports and connects organs and tissue

TISSUES
Muscle tissue contains cell material which has the ability to move the body
Nervous tissue contains cells that react to stimuli and conduct an impulse

MEMBRANES
Epithelial membranes are classified according to secretions produced:
Mucous membranes p. 51 (what is included in each category)
Serous membranes p.51 (what is included)
Connective tissues support and connect the organs and tissues

ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
Organs are groups of tissues joined together to perform a single function
An organ system is a group of organs that together perform a specific function

ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
The human body has 10 organ systems:
Skeletal - Respiratory
Muscular - Circulatory
Digestive - Excretory
Integumentary - Nervous
Reproductive - Endocrine

8. DEGREE OF TISSUE REPAIR
Damaged tissues are repaired continually
Depending on the type and location of injury, some tissues are repaired quickly

9. PROCESS OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE REPAIR
There are two types of epithelial tissue repair:
Primary repair involves skin where there is no infection present
Secondary repair occurs in large, open wounds with tissue loss

Activity
See page 52 Table 4-1
Create a chart that summarizes the function, Characteristics, and location of each type of tissue (include the subtypes of each tissue as well) ex. Include the 9 types of connective tissue
Include a basic drawing of each
