Epithelial tissues form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in ______

The cells in epithelial tissue are tightly packed together with very little intercellular matrix. Because the tissues form coverings and linings, the cells have one free surface that is not in contact with other cells. Opposite the free surface, the cells are attached to underlying connective tissue by a non-cellular ______ membrane

Simple squamous Epithelium is a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries. They line the walls of blood vessels and air sacs of ______

Also, they involve in physiological processes like ______ and diffusion

Epithelial cells may be Simple Squamous, Stratified Squamous, Columnar or ______

Epithelial tissues perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory ______

Stratified Squamous Epithelia usually has protective functions, including protection against microorganisms from invading underlying tissue and/or protection against ______ loss.

Columnar Epithelium is a single layer of column-shaped cells which are tall and slender with oval-shaped nuclei located in the basal region, attached to the ______ membrane.

Cuboidal Epithelium is composed of cube-shaped cells which have equal width and height. They form the lining of the kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands where they provide mechanical ______.

Connective Tissues are the tissues that connect, support, and help bind other tissues. They are composed of a limited number of cells which are loosely spaced and embedded in an ______ matrix.

Ligament is a connective tissue which connects two bones to each other. This tissue is very elastic and has considerable ______.

Tendons connect bones to muscles and are another type of connective tissue. They are fibrous tissues with great ______ but limited flexibility.

Cartilage are connective tissues with widely spaced cells. They smoothen bone surfaces at joints and are also present in the nose, ear, ______ and larynx.

Blood has a fluid matrix called plasma, in which red blood corpuscles, white blood corpuscles and platelets are suspended. The plasma contains proteins, salts and ______.

Areolar Connective Tissue is found between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels and nerves and in the bone marrow. It fills the space inside the organs, supports internal organs and helps in repair of ______.
