In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function. [1] [2] Tissues occupy a biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ. Accordingly, organs are formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues. [3]
Aggregations of cells in the human body be classified into four types of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Epithelial tissues act as coverings, controlling the movement of materials across their surface.
Groups of connected cells form tissues. The cells in a tissue may all be the same type or they may be of multiple types. In either case, the cells in the tissue work together to carry out a specific function. There are four main types of human tissues: connective, epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: Epithelial Tissue; Connective Tissue; Muscle Tissue; Nervous Tissue
There are four basic tissue types defined by their morphology and function: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue creates protective boundaries and is involved in the diffusion of ions and molecules.
The human body contains more than 200 types of cells that can all be classified into four types of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Epithelial tissues act as coverings controlling the movement of materials across the surface.
Fundamentals / The Human Body / Tissues and Organs. By Alexandra Villa-Forte, MD, MPH, Cleveland Clinic. Reviewed/Revised Apr 2022 | Modified Sept 2022. VIEW PROFESSIONAL VERSION. Tissues are related cells that are joined together. The cells in a tissue are not identical, but they work together to accomplish specific functions.
