• Muscle

• Nervous

• Cardiac

The process by which cells undergo replication in tissues to produce identical cells

• Mitosis

• Cancer

Epithelial tissue is classified (named) based on:

• amount of cells and size of cells

• number of cell layers and shape of the cells

• color of cell layers and shape of cells

• location of cells in body and how much fluid it holds

These cells are found in the epidermis and help with IMMUNE function:

• Langerhans

• Merkel

• Melanocytes

• Keratinocytes

What are melanocytes known for in the epidermis?

• producing melanin a pigment that results in skin color

• producing immune system fighting cells

• producing keratin

• producing new skin cells
