  examples of organs made      up of different tissues

 2. Connective Tissue

 all connective tissues "connect" one part of the body to another.
adipose tissue is also in this category although it isn't really a connector between tissues but rather often interfaces between tissues.  

   Cartilage:

 compact bone is arranged in units called osteons.

  Nervous tissue is capable of sending and receiving electrochemical signals. 
  there are two main types of cells:

1.  Neurons receive/send information via electrochemical signals called neurotransmitters.
2. Neuroglia (glial cells) maintain homeostasis, produce myelin, and support/protect neurons. 

  4. Nervous Tissue

    ovary

dendrite(s)

muscle tissue is responsible for movement.
skeletal muscle acts against bones, cardiac muscle contracts to pump blood, and smooth muscle moves products around the body.

   Connective Tissue "Proper"

cell body ​

    cardiac muscle
    has striations                    AND 
  intercalated discs

 all epithelial tissues have a free surface meaning one side of the tissue does not touch another tissue. 

  skeletal muscle
    has striations
