Tissue: A Symphony
of Cells
In 1858, German anatomist Joseph von Gerlach soaked a few pieces of brain tissue overnight in a puddle of staining solution derived from insects. By morning, the stain had neatly outlined many of the microscopic features of the tissue, and thus began the scientific discipline of histology. With the aid of dyes, fluorescent stains, and better microscopes, researchers began to see a fascinating pattern. The body's trillions of cells eventually organized themselves into just one of four fundamental tissue types: muscle, nervous, connective, and epithelial.
