Connective tissue characterized by storage of fat.

Thin, single-layered epithelial tissue lining blood vessels, facilitating diffusion.

Epithelial tissue functions in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensory reception but not in contraction.

Connective tissue comprising tightly packed collagen fibers, forming tendons and ligaments.

Muscle tissue characterized by its striped (striated) appearance under the microscope.

Striated muscle tissue attached to bones, controlled voluntarily.

Tissue specialized in transmitting electrical impulses throughout the body.

Muscle tissue found in the heart, striated and branched in structure.

Cells responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix, including collagen fibers, in connective tissue.

Connective tissue specialized in energy storage and thermal insulation.

Loose connective tissue has fewer collagen fibers compared to dense connective tissue.

Epithelial tissue found in the respiratory tract, with cilia that move mucus.

Connective tissue composed of cells suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma.

Cartilaginous tissue providing flexibility and the ability to return to its original shape.

Connective tissue characterized by a solid matrix, containing osteocytes responsible for bone maintenance and repair.
