szöveté

The term "szöveté" is a Hungarian word that translates to "tissue" in English, referring to a group of similar cells that perform a specific function in an organism. In biology, tissues are fundamental building blocks of multicellular life, organized into more complex structures called organs. There are four primary types of animal tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities. Connective tissue supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement. Nervous tissue transmits electrical signals for communication. Plant tissues are also diverse, including dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. Dermal tissue provides protection, ground tissue forms the bulk of the plant, and vascular tissue transports water and nutrients. Understanding the different types of tissues and their functions is crucial for comprehending the overall structure and physiology of organisms. The study of tissues is known as histology.
