The document discusses different types of tissues in the human body including muscle tissues, nervous tissues, epithelial tissues, and connective tissues. It provides descriptions of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, neurons, dendrites, axons, simple squamous epithelium, stratified squamous epithelium, simple cuboidal epithelium, pseudostratified columnar epithelium, areolar connective tissue, adipose tissue, and collagenous, reticular, and elastic fibers. Examples of where each tissue is found in the body are also provided.

muscle, which controls itself. (4)
The smooth muscle can
be found in the wall of
hollow organs, like the
stomach. Its there to
protect the organs but
isn’t as colorful as the
skeletal muscles, they
blend in with the walls
of the organs. (4)

Simple Squamous-
Physically flat,
scalelike cells.
Substances can easily

microscopic air sacs in
the lungs are made of
this tissue. (4)
EPETHELIAL

5. Pseudostratified- found in the
lining of air passageways in the
respiratory system and in areas of
the male reproductive system.
Only a single layer of irregularly
shaped columnar cells touches the
basement membrane, and
Simple Cuboidal- because of the differing heights,
many are not tall enough to reach

Glandular- specialized for

multicellular glands. (4)
EPETHELIAL

6. Areolar connective
tissue consists of a loose
arrangement of fibers. It
contains all of the cell
Fiber types include: types mentioned, as
•Collagenous fibers: well as all three fiber
strong and flexible types. Areolar also has
fibers that appear as an abundance of ground Adipose tissue
wavy bundles in substance, which consists of adipocytes,
tissue sections. appears white in tissue which store fat
•Reticular fibers: thin preparations.(5) droplets. The nucleus
collagen fibers of the adipocyte is
coated with a located adjacent to
glycoprotein. They the plasma
tend to branch membrane.(5)
extensively forming
delicate networks.
•Elastic fibers:
consist of the protein
elastin, which allows
for stretching and
recoiling. (5)
