2. Collagenous Connective Tissue. Collagenous fibers consist of collagen types I, II, or III present in all connective tissue types. There are two forms of collagenous connective tissue: loose or areolar connective tissue and dense connective tissue.

3. Areolar Connective Tissue. The most prevalent type of collagenous connective tissue is loose connective tissue (areolar connective tissue). It occurs in small, elongated bundles separated by regions of aggregate particles.

4. Transitional Epithelium. A transitional epithelium consists of many layers of cells that flatten when stretched. It lines the majority of your urinary tract and enables the expansion of your bladder. This tissue serves as a highly effective permeability barrier, resistant to water and the vast majority of tiny molecules.

5. Elastic Cartilage. Elastic cartilage provides relatively elastic support and helps maintain the shape of a flexible body. It is primarily found in the larynx, the external ear, and the tube connecting the middle ear to the throat (eustachian or auditory tube).

6. Hyaline Cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is a connective tissue with a glossy and smooth appearance. It is found in the walls of the respiratory tract, such as the bronchi, nose, the rings of the trachea, and rib tips. Collagen is abundant in hyaline cartilage, a protein found in connective tissue, skin, and bones that helps hold the body together. Different body parts benefit from the support and flexibility provided by hyaline cartilage.

7. Fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage is the tough, extremely resilient tissue found mainly in the intervertebral disks and ligament and tendon insertions.

8. Cardiac Muscle Tissue. This muscle is an involuntary, striated muscle tissue located solely in your heart. It is responsible for the ability of the heart to pump blood.

9. Skeletal Muscle Tissue. Skeletal muscle, also known as voluntary muscle, is the most common muscle in your body. They are attached to bones via tendons and skin. They are in charge of assisting with physical movements.

10. Smooth Muscle Tissue. This muscle is an involuntary muscle that lacks sarcomeres and thus no striations. Smooth muscle cells line the walls of the internal organs.
