| Simple Cuboidal | thyroid or kidney-secretion and some absorption-glands, tubes |
| Simple Columnar | Jejunum-absorptionlining of small intestine, vas deferens-contains large white goblet cells |
| Psuedostratified Ciliated Columnar | trachea protection-contains large white goblet cells |
| Stratified Squamous | skin or esophagus-protection against abrasionepidermis, oropharynx (throat), anal canal |
| Connective Tissues | protection, support, transport |
| Areolar connective tissue | binds skin, between muscles-contains thin purple elastic fibers, wider pink collagenous fibers, and purple dots fibroblasts. |
| Adipose | fat-energy storage and insulation under the skin and around organs.-colorless, big cells. |
| Dense Regular Connective Tissue | connection-tendons and ligamentsmuch more regular line up in a parallel structure |
| Hyaline Cartilage | support-costal (rib) cartilage, end of the nose.contains middle sized lacunae containg the chondrocytes. |
| Fibrocartilage | support-padding between vertebrae, pubic symphysis-contains smaller lacunae containing chondrocytes |
| Elastic Cartilage | flexibility-outer ear, epiglottis in larynxcontains the largest lacunae-purple between the lacunae are elastic fibers. |
