Epithelial Tissues
● Form protective coverings (covering body surfaces,
lines/covers internal organs, & composes glands)
● Function in protection, secretion, absorption, excretion
● Lacks blood cells, readily divide; cells are tightly packed.
Connective Tissues
● Support soft body parts and binds structures together
● Distributed throughout the body
● Has good blood supply and cells are farther apart than
epithelial cells

●
Produces body movements
Attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs, and the
heart.
-Hollow organs are the stomach, intestines, gallbladder,urinary
bladder & uterus of a female
Able to contract in response to specific stimuli
