    The document summarizes the four main types of tissues in the body: epithelial tissue which forms protective layers, connective tissue which binds tissues together using fibers, nervous tissue which transmits signals through neurons, and muscle tissue which allows for body movement and functions. Each tissue is composed of different cell types that give them their unique structures and specialized functions.
