Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the basic hierarchy of biological organization in the human body. Cells are the smallest unit of life and serve as the building blocks for all living organisms.

Recognize that tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. This means that tissues are composed of cells, not the other way around.

Consider the types of tissues in the human body, such as epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues, each formed by specific types of cells.

Reflect on the role of tissues in forming organs. Multiple tissues combine to form organs, which then work together in organ systems to maintain the body's functions.

Conclude that the relationship between cells and tissues is hierarchical: cells combine to form tissues, and tissues combine to form organs, illustrating the organized structure of the human body.
