| Question | Answer |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Adipose tissue *fat* | (Loose) Connective | Located wherever areolar connective tissue is located, like the subcutaneous layer deep to skin | It reduces heat loss through skin, acts as an energy reserve, and supports and protects organs |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Simple squamous | Epithelial | Lines the outside of the intestines | Present at sites of filtration, diffusion, and secretion |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Simple Cuboidal | Epithelial | Found in *kidneys* | It's function is to secrete & absorb |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | (Nonciliated) simple columnar | Epithelial | Lines the *inside of the intestines* | It's function is to secrete & absorb (more effective than cuboidal cells) |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar | Epithelial | Lines most of the respiratory tract, like the *trachea* | They secrete mucus that traps foreign particles which are then swept away for elimination |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Stratified squamous | Epithelial | They line wet surfaces and can be found in the *skin of the vagina* | Provide *protection* against abrasion, water loss, UV radiation, and foreign invasion. First line of defense against microbes |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Transitional | Epithelial | Lines the urinary *bladder* | Allows urinary organs to stretch |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Areolar | (Loose) Connective | Found in papillary region of dermis & subcutaneous | Provides strength, support, and elasticity |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Reticular | (Loose) Connective | Can be found in *liver, spleen, and lymph nodes* | It forms the stroma of organs and binds smooth muscle tissue cells |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Dense Regular | Connective | Forms *tendons* and ligaments | They provide strong attachment between various structures |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Dense Irregular | Connective | Can be found in the *reticular region of dermis* | Provides pulling strength in many directions |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Elastic | Connective | Can be found in the *lungs* and the walls of elastic *arteries* | Provides stretching with recoil so it goes back to its original shape |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Hyaline Cartilage | Connective | Most abundant cartilage in the body; found at *the ends of long bones* | It provides smooth surfaces for movement at joints, flexibility, and support; weakest type of cartilage |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Fibrocartilage | Connective | Can be found in the intervertebral discs and the meniscus | They support and join structures together; Strongest type of cartilage |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Elastic Cartilage| Connective | Can be found in the ear and nose | Provides strength and elasticity; maintains the shape of certain structures |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Spongy Bone | Connective | Houses blood-forming tissue |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Skeletal | Muscular | Usually found attached to bones by tendons | Functions: motion, posture, heat production, and protection |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Cardiac | Muscular | Only found in the heart wall | It pumps blood to all parts of body |
| Name, tissue type, location & function | Smooth | Muscular | Found on the walls of hollow internal organs | Provide motion |
