Task 1- tissues Tissues are groups of similar cells which have a similar structure and function. All of these cells work together to complete various tasks. There are four different types of tissues in the human body that I am going to give examples of. These include the epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ collagenous tissue and the nerve tissue. The first time of tissue is the epithelium tissue which has the function of helping to protect the body. There are four main types of epithelium tissues;

The collection and use of human tissue samples‚ from the deceased or living‚ is a practice doctors and surgeons perform to be able to undergo research on diseases‚ cancers‚ and the functionality of tissues in the human body. While there are many issues surrounding the use of human cells and tissues in scientific research‚ the main problem pertains to morality and subsequently ownership and consent. Laws today state that patients must give consent to donate tissue samples to doctors for this procedure
