Explanation of Solution

The four basic types of tissues and their functions are listed as follows:

  • Epithelial tissues: They are the components of secretory glands. Epithelial tissues also line the internal passages and chambers as well as cover the exposed surfaces.
  • Connective tissue: The connective tissues fill the internal spaces and help to provide structural support. They also help to store energy.
  • Muscle tissue: Muscle tissues are present in skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. These tissues are involved in contractions to produce suitable movements.
  • Nervous tissue: Nervous tissue is the characteristic feature of the nervous system which conducts electrical impulses to carry information to and from the brain.
