The study of learning the structure and function of the human body (anatomical physiology) is the basis of medicine (basic medicine) and is an essential subject of educational institutions aiming for medical occupations. In anatomical physiology, students first learn terms and directions for each part of the human body. Also, as the name "anatomy" suggests, the hierarchy at each level can be observed as the human body is subdivided. That is, individuals,organ systems, organs, tissues, cells, organelles, etc. The tissues can be classified into four types. That is, epithelial tissue, supporting tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. This paper focuses on the differences in the histological classification of blood and lymph from the literature.Blood and lymph circulate in the body and carry various organic substances such as nutrients and waste products and gas. Some literature treats blood and lymph as one of the supporting tissues, while others do not. In this paper, after detailing the physiological characteristics of blood and lymph, the concept of tissue classification of blood and lymph is investigated using various textbooks, and the position in the tissue is considered.
