    appositional growth
  12. Tissue changes with age can result from
    hormonal changes and improper nutrition

    neural tissue
  14. The repair process necessary to restore normal function in damaged tissues is
    isolation, reconstruction, and regeneration
  15. What are the four essential functions of epithelial tissue?
    • It provides physical protection
    • It controls permeability
    • It provides sensations
    • It produces specialized secretions
