Chapter 41, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Human body consists of different kinds of tissues. A tissue is a group of cells; together they are specialized to perform one or more particular functions. Tissue may contain only one type of cell or several types. All tissues are surrounded by nonliving extracellular matrix. They can differ according to the amount and kind of intracellular matrix. Organs are formed by the
