Tissues are composed of cells. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a specific function. There are four primary types of tissues in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Each type of tissue has a distinct structure and function that contributes to the overall physiology of the body.

I remember tissues being a level above cells, but I think cells are the basic building blocks. So, I’m leaning towards C as well.

I’m torn between cells and organs. I know tissues are made of something smaller, but I can’t recall if it’s just cells or something else.

I feel like this is similar to a practice question we did on the hierarchy of biological organization. Cells definitely seem to be the right answer.

I think tissues are made up of cells, but I’m not completely sure. I remember something about that from our last lecture.

Okay, I remember learning that tissues are collections of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. So the correct answer has to be C, cells.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know tissues are important, but I'm not sure if they're made up of muscles, flesh, cells, or organs. I'll have to guess on this one.

Tissues are the basic building blocks of the body, so they must be made up of cells. I'm confident C is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's C) cells. Although 'flesh' does sound like it could be a plausible answer. This exam is really testing our anatomy knowledge!
