Open Stax: Anatomy and Physiology: Types of Tissues

Curated by ACT

The term tissue is used to describe a group of cells found together in the body. Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each of these categories is characterized by specific functions that contribute to the overall health and maintenance of the body. This resource helps students better understand the structure of tissues.
