Body Tissues
By Jack Cunius
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial tissue lines the cavities and surfaces of our body's organs. Similar to the various shapes of Legos, connective tissue can take many different forms. These include columnar cells, cuboidal cell, and squamous cells.
Why Epithelial Tissue is most suitable for where it is found in the human body:
Epithelial tissue is most suitable for its location and function in the body because the epithelial tissues flat, orderly structure allows this specific type of cell to perform essential functions, namely due to the formation of tight junctions. For example, epithelial tissue is able to allow nerves to interact, as well as react to external stimulus.

Nervous Tissue
Nervous tissue is composed of branching cells that function to transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors, which controls muscles activities.
Connective Tissue
Connective tissue composed of various fibers, which allow elasticity. Connective tissue functions to support and anchor various parts of the body.
Muscular Tissue
Muscular tissue is striated, and functions to allow movement to our skeletons. It is consciously controlled, and is what allows us to move our extremities.
