The document summarizes different types of tissues in the human body including epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. It provides examples of where each tissue type is found and their general functions, which include protection, regulation of chemical exchange, secretion of products, joining bodily structures, and generating force. Specific tissues like arteries and veins are compared in terms of their layer structure, fiber content, lumen size, and appearance.

Spinal Chord The epithelium protects the tissues that lie beneath from radiation, desiccation, toxins, invasion by pathogens, and physical trauma. It is also responsible for the regulation and exchange of chemicals between the underlying tissues and a body cavity. It is also responsible the secretion of hormones into the circulatory system, as well as the secretion of sweat, mucus, enzymes, and other products that are delivered by ducts.
Connective tissue joins bones and muscles to one another and holds tissues in their proper place. The function of connective tissue is either to join bodily structures like bones and muscles to one another or hold tissues like muscles, tendons, or even organs in their proper place in the body.
