Detailed explanation-1: -Tissue is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. A nonliving material, called the intercellular matrix, fills the spaces between the cells. This may be abundant in some tissues and minimal in others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cells group themselves together to make up the tissues and organs of our bodies. They are a bit like building blocks.
Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).
Detailed explanation-4: -Over 200. Even within a specific tissue (like blood, bone, or muscle) there are many different cell types. For example, bone tissue cells include osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Image by Department of Histology, Jagiellonian University Medical College.
