There are four major types of tissues in the human body. Those consist of : Connective, muscular, nervous, epithelial.

Types of connective tissues found at

Some muscular tissues from http://www.up.ac.za/academic/medicine/telemed/Hist/018/img/018-001.jpg

Here is nervous tissue from http://www.okc.cc.ok.us/biologylabs/Images/Cells_Membranes/nuero.jpg

Last but not least, epithelial tissue found from http://www.stegen.k12.mo.us/tchrpges/sghs/ksulkowski/images/20_Simple_Columnar_Epithelial_Tissue.jpg

Final Conclusion: Now you have seen it all! You just spent time looking through the basics of science all the way to our basic building blocks. There is a lot of information presented there and it may be overwhelming. One just needs to take it step by step. It eventually all fits together, just as the levels of organization shows. To emphasize some points of the cells, here is a video of the first part of the lab project: Build a Cell.
