““Layers or groups of SIMILAR cells with a Layers or groups of SIMILAR cells with a COMMON function.”COMMON function.”

Tissues are distinguished from each other Tissues are distinguished from each other because of differences in size, organization, because of differences in size, organization, and functionand function
