Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial tissue covers other tissues.
Epithelial tissues are very thin layers of cells used to cover organs and other surfaces. May be found covering blood vessels, individual organs and other small organs. There are 4 types of epithelia tissue.
Pavement or Squamous Epithelium
54667158826500Squamous epithelium is the scientific name for a type of cell found in the human body. These cells make up the outer layer of skin, as well as lining the internal organs. They are called "squamous," or "scaly," for their distinctive thin, flat shape. This type of epithelium would be found in the mouth or the blood vessels as they make up the outer layers of the skin.
Tessellated Epithelium
Epithelium composed of a single layer of flattened scale like cells. These types of cells would be found in the body linings around your body. For example in the pulmonary alveoli.
Stratified Epithelium
A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. This type of epithelium is only found in the skin.
Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Ciliated columnar epithelial cells are rectangular in shape and have between 200 to 300 hair-like protrusions called cilia. This type of tissues is found in the trachea and the fallopian tube in the female reproductive system.
1st organ = Skin. The role it plays is to cover the skin so it protects it.
2nd organ = Glands. The role is to absorb things into it.

Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue connects tissues together.
Example: bone, blood and lymph tissues.
Most common type of connective tissue is areolar tissue.
Areolar tissue forms layers beneath the skin and lining of the gut and is also a packing material between muscles and other organs.
It is made up of a jelly-like matrix in which there are
