PY - 2018 T2 - Junqueira’s Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, 15e AB - Despite its complexity, the organs of the human body are composed of only four basic tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues. Each tissue is an assemblage of similarly specialized cells united in performing a specific function. The basic tissues, each containing extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as cells, associate with one another in the variable proportions and morphologies characteristic of each organ. The main features of the basic tissue types are summarized in Table 4–1.
