| Muscle tissue | -specilized for contraction -skeletal msucle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle -excitable tissue |
| Nervous tissue | -receives, generates and sends electrical signals from one part of the body to another -excitable tissue |
| Epithelial tissue functions | -layers of cells covering internal or external surfaces -provide physical protection -control permiability -provide sensation -produce specialized secretions |
| Glands | Structures that produce fluid secretions |
