Tissue development, also known as histogenesis, is the process by which cells proliferate, differentiate, and organize into functional tissues. This complex sequence begins during embryogenesis and continues through postnatal growth. The primary stages include:
Cell Proliferation: The rapid division of cells through mitosis, leading to an increase in cell number. Cell Differentiation: The process by which unspecialized cells become specialized to perform specific functions. Morphogenesis: The development of the structure and shape of tissues and organs.
