Histology categorizes tissues into four primary types:
Epithelial Tissue: Covers body surfaces and lines cavities, offering protection, secretion, and absorption. Connective Tissue: Provides support and structure, connecting different tissues and organs. Includes bone, blood, and adipose tissue. Muscle Tissue: Specialized for contraction, enabling movement. It includes skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Nervous Tissue: Comprises neurons and supporting cells, responsible for transmitting electrical impulses throughout the body.
