Overview of tissues: tissues: 2 or more cells put together to perform a common function, 4 basic types of tissues, epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous. Epithelial tissue: epithelial tissue is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity. It can occur in 2 forms: covering and lining, or glandular epithelium: covering and lining epithelium: forms the outer layer of the skin. Simple epithelia: consist of a single layer of cells; very thin. Function with absorption, secretion, and filtration: simple squamous epithelium: thin and often permeable. It is important with secretion and absorption: simple columnar epithelium: single layer of tall, closely packed cells. Stratified epithelia: contains 2 or more cells; the basal cells divide and push upward to replace the older surface cells. Stratified epithelia are more durable than simple epithelia, and are associated with protection because they are stronger: stratified squamous epithelium: the most widespread of the stratified epithelia.
