The human body is composed of four primary types of tissue—epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous—each of which serves a specialized role. The epithelium covers surfaces and lines organs, connective tissue provides support and structure, muscle tissue enables movement, and tissues in the nervous system transmit signals for communication and control throughout the body.
