The four basic animal tissue types and their core functions: epithelial (covering/lining), connective (support and transport), muscular (movement), and neural (signal conduction).

Concept context

The four basic animal tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, neural) and the cockroach as a model organism for organ-system level organisation.
