TISSUE Tissue is a biological structure made up of cells of the same type. - Cells of the same phenotype(e., same genes expressed). An aggregation of morphologically similar cells and associated extracellular matrix acting together to perform one or more specific functions in the body. - There are four basic types of tissue: muscle, nerve, epithelia, and connective. An organ is a structure made up of or more tissues
