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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stratified squamous epithelium in esophagus It is protected by this type of epithelial linings normally because it is not exposed to dryness or to abrasion. It is a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. It contains scattered submucosal mucous glands responsible for lubrication and moisture.

Simple cuboidal epithelial linings in the kidney tubules enable absorption and transportation of filtered substances.

This is my illustration of a plant cell.

PLANT CELLS are the building blocks of plants. The primary function of plant cell is performing PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which means that PLANT CELLS are responsible for making foods for us. It happens in the CHLOROPLAST of the plant cell. A process of making food by the plants by using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.
