Description

Tissue is a group of similar cells that performs a specific function in the body. There are four primary types of tissues in the body:

1. Epithelial Tissue: This tissue is composed of tightly packed cells that form a protective barrier on surfaces such as the skin and lining the internal organs to protect them from damage, invasion, and water loss.

2. Connective Tissue: This tissue holds the body together and provides support by making up bone, cartilage, blood, and fat.

3. Muscle Tissue: This tissue generates force and movement through its ability to contract, allowing movement and positioning of the body.

4. Nervous Tissue: This tissue is responsible for transmitting electrical signals throughout the body to coordinate muscle movement, sensory perception, and other functions.

Each tissue is composed of cells that are adapted to perform specific functions within the body. They work together in a coordinated manner to carry out various bodily functions. Any damage or disease to tissues can lead to varied impairments or malfunctions within the body.
