The document describes the main types of cells and tissues in the human body, including their functions and locations. The four main types are: 1. Connective tissues which include bone, cartilage, blood and adipose tissue. They attach structures together and help transport materials. 2. Epithelial tissues which include squamous, cuboidal and columnar cell layers. They protect the body surfaces, secrete substances, and aid in gas exchange. Epithelial tissues are found in the skin, lungs, and digestive tract. 3. Nervous tissues which include neurons that transmit electrical signals throughout the body to allow communication. Nervous tissues are located in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. 4
