What are simple, stratified, (and pseudostratified)
The extracellular matrix of blood is a liquid called
What is plasma?
The type of muscle tissue that is located in the walls of hollow internal structures (e.g., blood vessels, airways of lungs, and the urinary tract)
What is smooth muscle tissue?
Connective tissue fibers that return to their original shape if they're being stretched
What are elastic?
Epithelial tissue- linings and coverings, protection, secretion, absorption, senses
Connective tissue- support and protection of body organs, stores energy, and provide immunity
Nervous tissue- sense changes, conduct impulses
Muscular tissue- movement, temperature, heat
A type of epithelial tissue containing cells that can change shapes as the tissue stretches is called:
What is transitional?
This type of connective tissue is found where hip bones join, between vertebrae, menisci of knee, and portions of tendons
What is fibrocartilage?
What are neuroglial (Glial cells)
This type of epithelial tissues is often ciliated (be specific)
