Squamous Protection Skeletal Glial cell

- It contracts Neurons Neurones are Supporting Dense Loose
- Forms the skin of muscle in response connective Connective

- Terrestrial vertebrates Cardiac stimulation Cell body signals called
Schwann body parts,

Absorption connective
- For e.g, the gut is lined tissue
with epithelial tissue - It is used
for

locomotion,
absorb nutrients from
food. The lung are also food
lined with epithelial movement
in gut, and
tissue and it functions heat
to absorb oxygen.
production

Secretion
- Glandular epithelium
secretes chemicals
- Endocrine glands
secrete hormones
directly into the
extracellular space
- Exocrine glands often
secrete through ducts;
they secrete mucus,
saliva, wax, milk etc.
