| simple squamous epithelium | single layer of flattened cells | 
| simple cuboidal epithelium | single layer of cube-shaped cells | 
| simple columnar epithelium | single layer of elongated cells | 
| pseudostratified columnar epithelium | appears to be many layers, but only one layer of elongated cells | 
| stratified squamous epithelium | many layers, top cells flattened | 
| stratified cuboidal epithelium | 2-3 layers of cube-shaped cells | 
| stratified columnar epithelium | top layer of elongated cells, lower layers cube-shaped |

| fibrocartilage | between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle, knee | 
| bone | bones of skeleton, middle ear | 
| blood | within blood vessels | 
| fibroblast | large star-shaped cell; secretes proteins that become fibers | 
| macrophage | motile cell sometimes attached to fibers; clears foreign particles from tissue by phagocytosis | 
| mast cell | large cell, usually located near blood vessel; releases substances that may help prevent clotting | 
| collagenous fiber (white fiber) | thick, threadlike fiber of collagen w/ great tensile strength; holds structures together |

| smooth muscle | involuntary, spindle-shaped, branched muscle tissue | 
| neuron | transmits nerve impulses, communicates w/ other neurons, coordinate, integrate, regulate body functions | 
| neuroglial cells | supply nutrients to neurons by connecting them to blood vessels, bind nervous tissue together, phagocytosis | 
| connective tissues | tissues which bind structures, provide support and protection, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells protect against infections, help repair tissue damage |
