Accepted Answer

A tissue is defined as a group of similar cells that perform a common function. A membrane is a thin layer of tissue that lines body cavities, but not all tissues are membranes. A thin sheet of cells embedded in a matrix characterizes a specific type of tissue called epithelial tissue. The most complex organizational unit of the body is the organ, which is composed of multiple tissues working together to perform a specific function.
