Tissues are collections of specialized cells and cell products that perform a specific function. Organs are formed by two or more tissues that are united in patterns to perform a series of specific functions. Systems are formed by an interacting group of organs that performs one or more specific functions essential for the well being of the organism. Epithelium is a tissue composed of closely apposed cells with very little or no intervening intercellular substance. Cellularity: adjacent cells are joined by specialized junctions.
