Skeletal muscle tissue is packaged by connective tissue sheets into organs called skeletal muscles, which are attached to the skeleton. These muscles, which can be controlled voluntarily (or consciously), form the flesh of the body, the so-called muscular system.

The cardiac muscle is a specialized type of muscle that is only found in one organ in the body, the heart.

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites (and dendritic branches), which allows them to integrate a large amount of information from neighboring neurons. These processes are neuron cell body projections. A large percentage of neurons in the central nervous system are multipolar neurons.

The glass-like and transparent cartilage seen on many joint surfaces is referred to as hyaline cartilage. It can also be present in the ribcage, nose, larynx, and trachea. Hyaline cartilage is pearl-grey in color, firm, and contains a significant quantity of collagen. It has no nerves or blood arteries, and its structure is simple.

Collagenous connective tissue is known to be able to withstand great pulling forces exerted in the direction of fiber orientation; great tensile strength and stretch resistance

Elastic cartilage, also known as yellow fibrocartilage, is a form of cartilage that gives specific portions of the body, such as the ears, both strength, and flexibility.

A mix of hyaline cartilage and dense fibrous connective tissue, the fibrocartilage is a transitional tissue characterized to be white, densely organized, opaque, and tufted composed of chondrocytes and fibroblasts.

Transitional epithelium is a form of stratified epithelium, often, it is known as the urothelium. Transitional epithelium is a form of tissue that stretches and changes shape. When relaxed, the transitional epithelium appears cuboidal, and when stretched, it appears squamous. This tissue is made up of numerous layers of epithelial cells that may contract and stretch to accommodate the degree of distension required. Transitional epithelium lines the surface tissues of the urinary system.

Areolar connective tissue is known to be loosely packed for the support and nourishment of the structures with which it is associated.
