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.
