What is the medical term meaning a structure above the cellular level?

Answer 1

cells combine together forming a tissue. there are four basic type of tissues the whole human body is made of 1)nervous tissue 2)connective tissue 3)muscular tissue 4) epithelial tissue.

1) nervous tissue constitute the brain and spinal cord and nerves
2) connective tissue: blood , bones and the matrix that gel everything in our body is basically connective tissue
3) muscular tissue: the heart , the skeletal muscles(biceps , triceps etc) and the smooth muscles(present in various structures inside body e.g walls of blood vessels ,etc
4)epithelial tissue:forms the lining of body's every structure e.g skin, the buccal mucosa(the inside cheek lining ) etc


the combination and varieties of these four basic tissues make up the organ e.g liver is an organ , stomach is another organ and the working together of these organs constitute a systems e.g gastrointestinal system(G.I.T or the gut).
hence systematically we have
1) cells
2) tissues
3) organs
4) systems
5)human body....or otherwise any animal plant/living object .
