Ivy Tech APHY 101 – An Introduction to the Human Body Practice Test

Tissues are formed by cells that share similar structure and work together to perform a specific function. Cells are the basic building blocks that come together to create a tissue, with their surrounding matrix providing support. Molecules are the chemical components that make up cells and other structures, but they don’t by themselves form a tissue. Organs are larger structures built from multiple tissues, and systems are even broader, made up of several organs working together. So the best answer is that tissues consist of cells.
