simple squamous epithelium
Which tissue has tall rectangular cells with nuclei at different levels?
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
This epithelial tissue helps absorb nutrients in the digestive tract, sometimes aided by microvilli.
simple columnar epithelium
This connective tissue type is found in tendons and ligaments
dense regular connective tissue
Which tissue has multiple flat cell layers?
stratified squamous epithelium
This connective tissue provides smooth surfaces for joint movement and supports the respiratory passages.
hyaline cartilage
This connective tissue type is found beneath the skin, around kidneys, and behind the eyes
adipose tissue
Which tissue is loose with fibroblasts and collagen/elastic fibers?
areolar connective tissue
This connective tissue provides an internal framework for soft organs like the spleen and lymph nodes.
reticular connective tissue
This connective tissue type forms part of the fetal skeleton and is found at the ends of long bones.
hyaline cartilage
Which tissue has parallel collagen fibers with fibroblast nuclei squeezed between?
dense regular connective tissue
This connective tissue stores minerals, protects organs, and provides structural support
compact bone
This connective tissue is found in the shafts of long bones like the femur and humerus.
