Epithelial Tissue

Example: Skin surface, lining of the gut

Connective Tissue

Example: Bone, blood, fat

Nervous Tissue

Example: Brain, spinal cord, nerves

Epithelial tissue classification

By shape and number of layers: Shape: Squamous (flat), Cuboidal (cube-shaped), Columnar (tall); Layers: Simple (one layer), Stratified (multiple layers), Pseudostratified (looks layered but isn't)

Tissue repair process

Regeneration — damaged tissue is replaced by the same kind of cells.
