What are tissues?

Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform specific functions in the body. They are the first level of organization among living organisms, and they can be classified into four main types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues. Epithelial tissues cover the body surfaces, lining the organs and serving as a protective barrier. Connective tissues provide support to body structures, including bones, tendons, and cartilage. Muscular tissues are responsible for movement, while nervous tissues control the coordination and communication of the body's functions through neurons. Together, these different types of tissues make up the complex structures and systems of the human body.
