There are four main types of tissues in the body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers and lines body surfaces and forms glands. It can be simple with one cell layer or stratified with multiple cell layers. Connective tissue supports and binds other tissues. It includes connective tissue proper, bone, cartilage, and blood. Muscle tissue allows for movement and includes skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Nervous tissue facilitates communication in the body.

Nervous – communication

Systems

16. Organ Systems:
Integumentary system – skin, glands, and hair; protects body
Skeletal system – bones, joints, ligaments; protects, supports body
organs, movement
Muscular system – skeletal muscles and tendons; movement
Nervous system – neuron cells (generate, conduct, and respond
to nerve impuses) and supporting cells (insulate, nourish, and
protect); fast-acting communication and control system

17. Endocrine system – various glands and tissue
scattered through out body; secrete hormones to
maintain homeostasis
Cardiovascular system – heart, blood vessels, and blood; transports
oxygen, nutrients, and waste
Lymphatic/immune system – lymphatic vessels and organs; defense to fight
infection
Respiratory system – larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs; supplies
oxygen, removes carbon dioxide

18. Digestive system – mouth, esophagus, stomach, and
intestine; breaks down food and absorbs nutrients
Urinary system – kidneys, bladder, ureter, and urethra;
eliminates wastes regulates water, electrolyte, and acid base
homeostasis
Reproductive systems –
testes, ovaries, ducts, penis, vagina, uterus; produce eggs
and sperm and hormones; in females supports and
nourishes the embryo and fetus
