Understand how cells work together to form tissues.
Learn
Types of Tissues
- Epithelial tissue: Covers body surfaces, lines organs and cavities
- Connective tissue: Supports and connects (bone, blood, cartilage)
- Muscle tissue: Enables movement (skeletal, smooth, cardiac)
- Nervous tissue: Transmits electrical signals
- Organization hierarchy: Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ Systems
