Complex tissues contain multiple cell types working together for specialized functions. Unlike simple tissues with one cell type, complex tissues coordinate different cells to achieve sophisticated tasks like protection, transport, and controlled exchange with the environment.
đŦ Key Concepts
Multiple cell types in one tissue
Coordinated functions for complex tasks
Protection and transport specialization
Environmental interaction control
Tissue Teamwork
Complex tissues demonstrate that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - different cell types collaborate to accomplish what no single cell type could achieve alone!
đ¯ Learning Objectives
Understand how complex tissues use multiple cell types to achieve protection, transport, and controlled environmental exchange functions.
