tissue
Let an agent explain biological tissues by type, structure and function, and point to clinical services for tissue samples and donation, without diagnosis.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain biological tissues by type, structure and function, and point to clinical services for tissue samples and donation, without diagnosis.
In biology, a group of similar cells and their extracellular matrix working together to perform a function; animal tissues are classed as epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous, and plants have dermal, vascular and ground tissues.
What it is for: Understanding how organs and bodies are built.
It can be classify tissue types; explain tissue structure and function; describe histology in general terms; find tissue donation information.
