Answer 1

Question:-

What is Tissue? What are types of tissues?

Answer:-

A tissue, in biology, is defined as a group of cells that possess a similar structure and perform a specific function. The word tissue originates from French, which means “to weave.”

☆Tissues Types:-

In animals, there are 4 types of tissues, namely:

• Muscle tissue (cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle tissues)
• Connective tissue (cartilage, blood, bone)
• Nervous tissue (neurons and neuroglia)
• Epithelial tissue (simple epithelium, simple cuboidal, simple columnar epithelium, etc).

☆Plants have their own set of tissues, namely:-

• Dermal Tissues (epidermal cells, stomata, trichomes)
• Ground tissues (Collenchyma, parenchyma, sclerenchyma)
• Vascular tissue (Vessel elements, tracheids, companion cells and sieve tubes)

☆Concept of Tissues:-

The concept of tissues can be traced back to 1801 when it was introduced by Xavier Bichat, a French anatomist and pathologist. He had proposed that tissues are a central element in human anatomy, concluding that organs are essentially a collection of distinct tissues.
