In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function. [1] [2] Tissues occupy a biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ. Accordingly, organs are formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues. [3]
Soft tissue connects and surrounds or supports internal organs and bones, and includes muscle, tendons, ligaments, fat, fibrous tissue, lymph and blood vessels, fasciae, and synovial membranes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Soft tissue is tissue in the body that is not hardened by the processes of ossification or calcification such as bones and teeth .
The body consists of many different types of tissue, defined as cells that act with a specialised function. [8] The study of tissues is called histology and is often done with a microscope. The body consists of four main types of tissues. These are lining cells , connective tissue, nerve tissue and muscle tissue. [9]

Magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET), is an imaging modality to image the electrical conductivity of biological tissues [1] Medical imaging, creating images of the human body or parts of it, to diagnose or examine disease; Microscopy, creating images of objects or features too small to be detectable by the naked human eye
Histologic specimen being placed on the stage of an optical microscope Human lung tissue stained with hematoxylin and eosin as seen under a microscope. Histology, [help 1] also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, [1] is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues.
In a multicellular organism, an organ is a collection of tissues joined in a structural unit to serve a common function. [1] In the hierarchy of life, an organ lies between tissue and an organ system. Tissues are formed from same type cells to act together in a function. Tissues of different types combine to form an organ which has a specific ...
