What structures are made from cells that perform a specific function?
Structures in organisms that are made of cells that perform a specific function are called tissues. For example, all skeletal muscle cells can be considered tissue, because all their cells are the same and function in a similar way. There are four tissue types in the body; connective tissue, nervous tissue, muscle tissue, and epithelial tissue. From these four types, virtually all other tissues in the body are made. By combining different tissues together, in different arragements, the organism can produce its organs, which are a group of different tissues all working together for a common function.
Study of structures?
Anatomy = study of body structures, and the relationship between these structuresHistology = study of the structure of tissuesCytology = study of structure (and function) of cells
