TISSUES OF THE HUMAN BODY

Tissues of the human body

There are four main types of tissues in the human body.

1. Muscle tissue
Muscle tissue allows the body to move. It helps us walk, run, breathe, and move internal organs. The heart is also made of special muscle tissue that pumps blood.

2. Nervous tissue
Nervous tissue controls the body and sends signals. It is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This tissue helps us think, feel pain, see, hear, and react quickly.

3. Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue covers the body and internal organs. It protects the body from damage, bacteria, and dehydration. It is found in the skin, inside the mouth, and in many organs.

4. Connective tissue
Connective tissue supports and connects different parts of the body. It includes bones, blood, fat, and cartilage. This tissue helps protect organs and hold the body together.

All tissues work together to form organs. Without tissues, organs could not exist, and the body could not function.
