Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Many components of our body consist of specific cell groups and the surrounding materials. These groups of special cells are called tissue. The tissue structure and function are so strongly linked that, considering its composition, we can often predict the function of a tissue and vice versa. In our body 4 types of tissues are present. These are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue.
