Term
Main functions
Definition

 

 

 

1. Protects the body's internal living tissues

and organs.

2. Protects against invasion by infectious

Organisms.

Definition

By helping to synthesize and absorb vitamin D, Encourages more calium obsorption

 digestion and assimilation of dietary fats and oils are essential for the body

Definition

Connective tissue (areoler and adipose=adipocytes)

Group of cells for lobuoles 

Heat, fat, and shock obsorption

Term
Oil (sabcoues) Glands
Definition

Straified squamous epithelium 

All over the body excepte hands and feet Empty via ducts in hair folicule secrete sebum (mixture of fat, oil, and hydrocarbons)
