Verified step by step guidance

Understand that tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions. The classification of tissue types is based on their structural and functional characteristics.

Recognize that the primary characteristic used to name tissue types is the cell shape and arrangement. This refers to the morphology of the cells and how they are organized within the tissue.

Learn the four main types of tissues in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. Each type is named based on its cell shape and arrangement, which determines its function.

For example, epithelial tissues are classified based on the shape of their cells (e.g., squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and the number of layers (e.g., simple, stratified). This naming convention helps identify their role in protection, absorption, secretion, etc.

Avoid confusion with other characteristics like location, color, or organ size, as these are not the primary factors for naming tissue types. Focus on cell shape and arrangement as the key criteria.
