What are the four major types of tissue?	1. connective 2. epithelial 3. muscle 4. neural
Function of connective tissue	Protects and supports body cells and organs
Function of epithelial tissue	Covers the surface of the body cells, hollow cavaties, line ducts, and glands
Function of muscle tissue	Responsible for movement
Function of nerve tissue	Transmit impulses or action potential
Origin of four major tissues	After eight or nine days when sperm fertilizes oocyte, mass of cells that are produced embeds in the lining of the uterus. these cells begin to form germ layers.
Where do epithelial tissues originate?	Epithelial tissues originate from three germ layers (ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal)
Where do connective tissues originate?	Connective tissues originate from one germ layer (mesodermal)
Where do muscle tissues originate?	Muscle tissues originate from one germ layer (mesodermal)
Where do nerve tissues originate?	Nerve tissues originate from one germ layer (ectodermal)
Interstitial fluid	Found in microscopic spaces between cells of a tissue
Plasma	The liquid portion of the blood
