In the kidney, simple squamous epithelium lines the Bowman's capsule and glomerulus. It allow rapid filtration and diffusion as the kidney filters approximately 180 liters of blood per day.

Areolar connective tissue also known as loose connective tissue. It provide nutrition to the cells and acts as a cushion as protection to the organs from different external forces.

The main function of your osseous connective tissue bone is to make bones that enable your body to move by providing attachment sites for your muscles and tendons. It also provides structural support for internal structures, protects organs and tissues from damage, and serves as the storage of minerals.

Elastic cartilage provides structural support with moderate elasticity. It if found mostly in your larynx, the external part of the ear, as well as in the tube leading from the middle part of the ear to the throat known as eustachian and auditory tube.

Again, skeletal muscles are different. It is voluntary movement, which means you will be the one to control your own body or your muscles on how and when you decide to. The nerves in your somatic nervous system are sending signals to make them function. For example, walking.

Both smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are involuntary unlike skeletal muscles. Cardiac muscles are found in your heart. It helps in causing your heart to pump blood throughout the rest of the body. It is again an involuntary movement required to sustain life.

Smooth muscles are present throughout in your body. It is mostly found in your stomach and intestines as it helps in digestion and nutrient absorption. Also, it can be found in your unrinary system, it contributes in electrolyte balance and removing of body toxins.

The main function of your esophagus is to deliver food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach.

Duodenum receives undigested food from the stomach called chyme. It is where it mixes it with digestive juices and enzymes coming from the intestinal wall and pancreas, as well as with bile from the gallbladder.

Appendix is a thin tube measures approximately four inches long. It is located in the lower right abdomen. The function of appendix is not that clear and is considered unknown. But, there is a theory existed that the appendix is said to be the storage of good bacteria, known as rebooting the digestive system after a diarrheal illnesses.

Aside from the end of the bones as articular cartilage, hyaline cartilage are also found in the nose, trachea, larynx and bronchi. Hyaline cartilage provide structural support in respiratory system. The linings of trachea are held open by cartilaginous rings of hyaline cartilage.

Epiglottis is a flap of elastic cartilage found in the throat behind the tongue and in front of the larynx. At rest, the epiglottis is usually up right allowing air to pass into the larynx and lungs. It is letting the person to breathe. When you are swallowing, the epiglottis folds backward to prevent the entrance of food and liquid in the…[Read more]

Ciliated columnar epithelium is found mainly in respiratory tract as well as in fallopian tube. In the respiratory tract, it is found in tracheal and bronchial regions of the pulmonary system. As the name implies, it has a hair-like projections called cilia. Together with cilia, it also contain many goblet cells that produced mucus to form a…[Read more]
