The term tissue is used to describe a group of cells found together in the body. Microscopic observation reveals that the cells in a tissue share morphological features and are arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions. There are four main tissue types in the human body, which are covered in this chapter. (Thumbnail Image from "Cells of the Cervix", National Cancer Institute, Don Bliss (Illustrator), Pu
