Muscle tissue contracts and relaxes to enable movement of body parts. Transporting oxygen is mainly the function of red - blood cells in the circulatory system. Regulating body temperature is related to processes like sweating and vasoconstriction/dilation. Protecting internal organs is more of a function of connective tissues like bones and cartilage. Regulating hormone levels is mainly the job of endocrine glands.
