Organs are made up of multiple tissue types that work together to perform complex functions. For example, the stomach includes:
- Epithelial Tissue: Lines the stomach and secretes digestive enzymes and mucus. - Connective Tissue: Supports the epithelial layer and binds it to underlying structures. - Muscle Tissue: Smooth muscle layers contract to churn food and mix it with digestive juices. - Nervous Tissue: Controls the muscle contractions and regulates enzyme secretion.
