Tissues are groups of cells that work together as a unit. They provide shape to the body and help it conserve heat and store energy. There are four types of tissues: Connective tissue: Includes blood, bones, tendons, fat, ligaments, and areolar tissues Epithelial tissue: Found in many places in the body, including the skin, blood vessels, and intestine Muscle tissue: Sometimes called composite tissues because they contain small amounts of areolar tissue Nervous tissue: Sometimes called composite tissues because they contain small amounts of areolar tissue
