front 14 Identify the tissue type. transmits electrical signals | back 14 nervous tissue |
front 15 Identify the tissue type. anchors, packages, and supports body organs | back 15 connective tissue |
front 16 Identify the tissue type. cells may absorb, secrete, and filter | back 16 epithelium |
front 17 Identify the tissue type. most involved in regulating and controlling body functions | back 17 nervous tissue |
front 18 Identify the tissue type. major function is to contract | back 18 muscle |
front 19 Identify the tissue type. synthesizes hormones | back 19 epithelium |

front 23 Describe five general characteristics of epithelial tissue. | back 23 1. Polarity - an apical surface that is distinct from the basal surface. 2. Specialized contacts so cells fit closely together. 3. Supported by connective tissue (basement membrane). 4. Avascular but innervated. 5. Easily regenerated. |
