From the Paper:

"Tissue (King, 2005) is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. A nonliving material, called the inter cellular matrix, fills the space between the cells. The inter cellular matrix contains salts and fibers that are unique to a specific tissue, giving them their distinct characteristics. There are four main tissue types that comprise the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous. Each is designed for a specific purpose. Epithelial tissues are sheets of cells that cover a body surface or line a body cavity (Flashcard Exchange, 2005). "
