| epithelial tissue | covers organs, forms inner lining of body cavities, lines hollow organs |
| basement membrane | base of epithelial cells; connects to underlying tissue |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| ligament | type of dense connective tissue; binds bone to bone |
| tendon | type of dense connective tissue; binds muscle to bone |
| loose connective tissue | beneath skin & epithelial cells, between muscles |
| adipose tissue | beneath skin, behind eyeballs, around kidneys, on surface of heart |
| dense connective tissue | tendons, ligaments, dermis |
| elastic connective tissue | connects parts of spinal column, in walls of arteries and airways |
| hyaline cartilage | ends of bones, nose, and rings in walls of respiratory passages |
| elastic cartilage | external ear, part of larynx |
| 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 |
| collagenous fiber (white fiber) | thick, threadlike fiber of collagen w/ great tensile strength; holds structures together |
| elastic fiber (yellow fiber) | provides elastic quality to parts that stretch |
| reticular fiber | thin fiber of collagen |
| skeletal muscle | voluntary, striated, multinucleate muscle tissue |
| cardiac muscle | involuntary, striated, branched muscle tissue |
| 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 |
