tissue types

The human body is composed of four primary types of tissues—nervous, epithelial, muscle, and connective—each playing a distinct role in maintaining structure and function. This article examines a micrograph set from the Regents of University of Michigan Medical School, showcasing nervous tissue, stratified squamous epithelial tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and connective tissue. By exploring these tissues through detailed images, we gain insight into their unique characteristics and contributions to overall physiology.
