Document Summary
If something has the same structure, it will perform the same function (ever cell is built for a specific function) Study of the cells that make up the tissues: epithelial. Forms a boundary between the internal and external environment. Lining of the digestive tract which absorbs nutrients. Nothing in your body can happen w/o the function of the nervous system. We need an intact nervous system for anything to happen (master control centre) Cardiac muscles are muscles of the heart. Allows things to permeate through the blood and organs. Catch all for all of the rest of the tissues. Hard to describe it in one word. Regulates what passes through to the tissue beneath the surface. Mucus protects against acidic environments and helps things move along much easier. Thickness and amount of cells that are stacked on top of each other. Simple single layer of cells all attached to one membrane. Stratified will have two or more layers of cells.
