The four major types of animal tissues are: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body and lines organs and cavities within the body (Campbell et. al, …show more content…
Meristematic tissue, it is in this region where new cells are produce. Dermal tissue provides a protective cover for the entire body of a plant. Ground tissue is responsible for the plants metabolic functions. Vascular tissue transports materials like water and nutrients between the root and the shoot system. They are arranged finely in the regions of the plants organ. For example in roots, stem and leaves the arrangements of these tissues are the same. The dermal tissue is located on the outer part, ground tissue is between the dermal and vascular tissue and the meristematic tissue has three main types the apical meristem that occurs in the tips of stems and roots, intercalary meristem takes between the tip and base of stems and leaves and lateral meristem occurs at the side of stems and roots. Plant tissues are characterized and classified according to their structure and function. The organs that they form will be organized into patterns within a plant which will aid in further classifying the
