This tissue looks like thin, flat cells resembling "fried eggs" under the microscope.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
This connective tissue cushions organs, stores energy, and helps insulate the body
What is adipose connective tissue?
Found lining the small intestine with microvilli for absorption.
What is simple columnar epithelium?
This tissue has tall, narrow cells with nuclei at varying heights, creating the illusion of multiple layers
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
This epithelium provides protection against abrasion
What is stratified squamous epithelium?
This tissue forms the dermis, providing strength against stress from many directions.
What is dense irregular connective tissue?
What is areolar connective tissue?
This cartilage provides flexibility and support in the nose.
What is hyaline cartilage?
The connective tissue lies beneath the skin and cushions many internal organs.
This tissue looks like a shiny, rope-like bundle of collagen running parallel in the same direction.
What is dense regular connective tissues?
I resist compression and provides strength in intervertebral disc.
What is fibrocartilage?
This epithelium tissue lines trachea and is equipped with cilia and mucus- secreting goblet cells.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
This tissue shows square-shaped cells arranged neatly, often forming ducts or tubules.
What is simple cuboidal epithelium?
I allow diffusion of gases and nutrients in capillaries and alveoli.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
Found filling space between organs, under epithelial and surrounding blood vessels.
What is areolar connective tissue?
