The Tissue Types of the Human Body
The human body is a complex structure. Yet, despite its complexity, it consists of only four tissue types; epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Each has their own unique characteristics and function. During this week's Discussion, you will focus on the epithelial and muscle tissues.
Respond to the two topics below for this unit's Discussion. Then, throughout the week, review your classmates' posts and comment as appropriate on at least two other posts per the Discussion Guidelines below:
Epithelial tissue is one of the four tissue types of the human body.
Describe the various functions of epithelial tissue. In your post, describe the multiple morphologies (shapes) and structures of epithelial tissue. Provide an example of an organ in the human body that has epithelial tissue.
