Tissues
Tissues are groups of specialized cells that work
together for a particular function. In humans,
combinations of different types of tissues make up
organs, and groups of organs work together to
form organ systems.
Four Types of Tissue
1. Epithelial
2. Connective
3. Nervous
4. Muscle

RBCs
Red blood cells (RBCs) in humans are flattened disks because the cells lack a
nucleus. The pigment hemoglobin, which gives blood its red color, binds to
oxygen. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen to all the cells
of the body.
Leukocytes
White blood cells
function mostly in
fighting diseases. Some
of them move through
the walls of blood vessels
and enter body tissues to
engulf bacteria. There are
five types of white blood
cells: neutrophils,
lymphocytes, monocytes,
eosinophils, and
basophils.
Thrombocytes: platelets
