# 5 Cell interactions in tissues

You may know from previous studies that in multicellular organisms, cells tend to be organised into groups, or tissues.

These are cell junctions, and an important component of all tissues, the extracellular matrix (which so far have only been mentioned in passing). The focus here is on animal tissues.
