A tissue is a group of cells that has a similar structure and acts together to perform one or more specific functions. In this tutorial, we will introduce you to the 4 main types of tissues in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue creates protective boundaries and is involved in the diffusion of ions and molecules, whereas connective tissue underlies and supports other tissue types.
Muscle tissue contracts to initiate movement in the body and nervous tissue transmits and integrates information through the central and peripheral nervous systems.
In this video tutorial we will take a closer look at the histology of the main cells and tissues under the microscope.
