A tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body.
Tissues are organized based on their structure and function, and they are classified into four main types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands, providing protection, secretion, and absorption.
Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues and organs, and includes types like bone, blood, and adipose tissue.
Muscle tissue is responsible for movement, while nervous tissue is specialized for communication and control through electrical impulses.
