This document compares and contrasts the main tissues found in plants and animals. In plants, there are meristematic tissues which allow growth, and permanent tissues including simple tissues like parenchyma and complex tissues like xylem and phloem which provide structure and transport. In animals, the four primary tissue types are epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous tissues. Epithelial tissues cover and protect organs, connective tissues connect and support, muscular tissues allow movement, and nervous tissues conduct electrical signals.
