A tissue is a group of cells of a particular type that are grouped together to perform the same function.

 Tissue types in animals

1. Epithelial tissue- This is a thin continuous layer of cells for lining and protection of internal and external surfaces.

2. Skeletal muscle- This is a bundle or sheets of elongated cells with fibres that can contract. Its contraction and relaxation brings about movement.

4. Blood tissue- This is a ?uid containing red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

The main functions of blood tissue are transportation of nutrients and gases as well as protection of the body against infections.

5. Connective tissue- This tissue consists of strong fibres that connects other tissues and organs thereby holding them in position.
