Areolar connective tissue holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. It also serves as a reservoir of water and salts for surrounding tissues. Almost all cells obtain their nutrients from and release their wastes into areolar connective tissue. -

Transitional epithelium is an epithelial tissue which in a relaxed state appears as a stratified cuboidal epithelium. The cells in the transitional epithelium are pear-shaped or round, but as tissue is stretched, cells become flattened, giving the appearance of stratified squamous epithelium

Fibrocartilage provides the tough material of the intervertebral discs; the intraarticular cartilages of the knee, wrist and temporo-mandibular joints; the articular cartilage of the temporo-mandibular joint and of the joint between the clavicle and the sternum -

Elastic cartilage is resilient, easily returning to its original shape after bending or distortion, and has more flexibility and elasticity than other cartilage types. Its matrix contains a dense, interwoven network of elastic fibers embedded in a small amount of amorphous extracellular ground substance. -

In this type of tissue, the collagen fibres are densely packed, and arranged in parallel. This type of tissue is found in ligaments (which link bone to bone at joints) and tendons (connections between bones or cartilage and muscle)

Hyaline, or articular, cartilage covers the ends of bones to create a low-friction environment and cushion at the joint surface. When cartilage in the joint is healthy, it effectively allows fluid bending/straightening motions and protects the joint against weight-bearing stresses. -

They possess a single axon with several symmetrically radiating dendrites. Some neurons have multiple axons or lack axons all together. Multipolar neurons can be classified on the basis of their dendritic branching pattern and shape of the soma into stellate, pyramidal, fusiform, Purkinje, and glomerular cells.

Cardiac muscle tissue forms the muscle surrounding the heart. With the function of the muscle being to cause the mechanical motion of pumping blood throughout the rest of the body, unlike skeletal muscles, the movement is involuntary as to sustain life.

Skeletal muscle is one of the three significant muscle tissues in the human body. Each skeletal muscle consists of thousands of muscle fibers wrapped together by connective tissue sheaths. The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi.

Smooth muscle is present throughout the body, where it serves a variety of functions. It is in the stomach and intestines, where it helps with digestion and nutrient collection. It exists throughout the urinary system, where it functions to help rid the body of toxins and works in electrolyte balance.
