- What four types of tissues discussed, which is the most abundant?
- where are red and white blood cells created
- Composes basement membranes; a soft packaging tissue with a jellylike matrix.
- Insulates against heat loss; provides reserve fule.
- Most involved in regulating body function quickly.
- Cells may absorb, protect, or form a filtering membrane.
- Firm matrix heavily invaded with fibers: appears glassy & smooth.
- Abundant nonliving extracellular matrix.
- Lines Body cavities & covers the body's external surface.
