There are four main types of human tissues: epithelial tissue covers internal and external body surfaces to protect from injury; connective tissues connect different body parts and provide structure and support; muscle tissue produces movement in internal organs and skeletal muscles; and nervous tissue forms the nervous system and is made up of neurons.

2. EPITHELIAL TISSUE
•Protects the body from
moisture loss, bacteria,
and internal injury.

3. EPITHELIAL TISSUE

4. CONNECTIVE TISSUES
•Connect the different
parts of the body
together.
•Provides structure and
support to the body.
•It can stretch and
squeeze easily.
•Ligaments
•Tendons
•Cartilage
•Bones

5. MUSCLE TISSUE
Produces action or
movement in your
internal organs.
•Skeletal muscle is
attached to bones and
causes movements of
the body.
•Cardiac muscle is found
in the heart.
•Smooth muscle lines
the walls of blood
vessels and certain
organs such as the
digestive and urogenital

6. NERVOUS TISSUES
•Forms the
nervous system
•Brain
•Spinal cord
•Nerves
•Neurons are the
basic units.
