A tissue can be defined as a group of cells that are structurally similar and in close proximity. Tissues are generally responsible for performing specific functions in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants. Therefore, tissues in living organisms function together as a unit.

There are four main types of tissues and these includes;

I. Connective tissue.

II. Epithelial tissue.

III. Muscle tissue.

IV. Nervous tissue.

In this scenario, the various types of tissues are matched with their functions as follows;

1. Muscle tissue: propels food through the digestive tract. It is mainly performed by peristalsis.

2. Epithelial tissue: lines internal and external body surfaces. It also referred to as epithelium and it comprises of sheets of cells.

3. Nervous tissue: conducts electrical impulses. A neural circuit can be defined as a group of neurons in the body of a living organism which are interconnected by synapses to perform specific functions when they're activated.

4. Connective tissue: transports oxygen to the body tissues predominantly through the Erythrocytes (red blood cells).

5. Epithelial tissue: functions in secretion and absorption.

6. Muscle tissue: pumps blood.

7. Connective tissue: stores fats and minerals.
