Which of the following is NOT one of the four primary tissue types?

What is the main function of epithelial tissue?

Which tissue type is responsible for movement and contraction?

What is the primary function of nervous tissue?

Groups of similar cells and extracellular products that carry out a common function are called tissues.
The study of tissues is called histology.
There are four primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines the inside of organs and body cavities.
Epithelial tissue is avascular (lacks blood vessels).
Characteristics of epithelial tissue include polarity, cells connected to each other by intercellular junctions, high regeneration capacity, and attachment to a basement membrane.

Connective tissue is found in blood, body fat, ligaments and tendons, dermis of the skin, and in the cartilage of some joints.
Connective tissue has a large amount of extracellular matrix.

Epithelial tissue is different from other tissue types in its characteristics and functions.
Endocrine is not one of the four primary tissue types.

Histology is the study of tissues.
There are four primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
Each tissue type has unique characteristics and functions.
