Explanation:

- Epithelial tissue is made up of a group of differentiated cells whose function is to cover the external surfaces of the body, as well as the interior of the internal organs. All epithelia are firmly attached to a tissue called the basal lamina.

Additionally, epithelial cells can synthesize and secrete substances, as occurs with glandular or mucosecretory epithelium.

- Connective tissue is named for its function of maintaining intercellular attachment and providing support to the various tissues and organs of the body. It is made up of collagen, elastic fibers and microfibers, in addition to fundamental substance, forming the extracellular matrix.

- Muscle tissue is formed by muscle cells, called fibers, whose main characteristic is to contract and provide movement to the body —striated muscle— and internal organs, such as smooth muscle.

The muscle fibers are grouped into fascicles that can form muscle tissue.

- Nervous tissue is formed by neurons and glia cells, which provide support and nutrition to the former. Neurons are highly specialized cells that are capable of transmitting electrical impulses through their axons and dendrites, which is the main way of functioning of the nervous system.
