Answer
Dear Allahyar,

This sounds like a homework question, which you'll need to answer partly for yourself, but I can get you started with this:

Animal tissues include
1.  connective tissues:

2. epithelial tissues:

3.  muscle tissues
(found in muscles and in organs that have some contractility, such as the intestinal tract, reproductive system, etc.)

4.  nervous tissues
(which comprise the nervous system:  the central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral (all other nerves).

Hope that helps get you started.
