Introduction
•Similar cells with a common function are
called tissues.
• The study of tissues is called histology.
• There are four (4) primary or major tissue types:
1. Epithelial Tissue
2. Connective Tissue
3. Muscle Tissue
4. Nervous Tissue

• Cells readily divide
• Cells tightly packed
• Cells often have desmosomes
• Function in protection, secretion, absorption, and excretion
• Classified according to cell shape and number of cell layers
