|---|
| Simple Squamous epithelium | Thin, flat cells allow rapid diffusion Fit closely together,  |
| Stratified Squamous epithelium | Many layers. Found lining or covering areas that have a lot of abrasion,  |
| Simple cuboidal epithelium | Secretes substances in many glands and filters in kidney tubules,  |
| Simple columnar epithelium | Often found with goblet cells; tall cells line the intestines and absorb nutrients,  |
| Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium | Beating cilia protect the lungs from inhaled debris,  |
| Skeletal muscle | Striated cells, cylindrical, may be very long, multiple nuclei,  |
| Cardiac muscle | Branched cells, intercalated discs allow cells to contract together; striated involuntary,  |
| Nervous tissue (neuron) | Highly specialized cells capable of sending electrochemical messages throughout the body for rapid control of body functions,  |
| Adipose | Stores energy and provides insulation; very little matrix,  |
| Areolar CT | Loose CT that wraps muscles. Gel-like matrix, fibroblast cells,  |
| Blood | Cells in liquid matrix,  |
| Bone | Rigid, strong matrix provides support and protection to the body,  |
| Dense CT | Semi-rigid matrix; makes up tendons and ligaments,  |
| Hyaline cartilage | Smooth, glassy matrix; cells in lacunae,  |
