Epithelial Tissue
Tissue that covers the body and lines body cavities, characterized by closely packed cells with little matrix.
Connective Tissue
The most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body, consisting of relatively few cells in an intercellular matrix.
Muscle Tissue
Tissue responsible for movement, classified into skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle types.
Nervous Tissue
Tissue that facilitates rapid communication between body structures and controls body functions, primarily composed of neurons and glial cells.
Neuron
A conduction cell in nervous tissue that transmits nerve impulses, consisting of a cell body, axon, and dendrites.
Squamous Cells
Flat, scale-like cells that can form simple or stratified epithelial tissue.
Cuboidal Cells
Cube-shaped cells that often form simple cuboidal epithelium, specialized for secretory activity.
Columnar Cells
Tall, column-like cells that can form simple columnar epithelium, specialized for absorption and secretion.
Transitional Epithelium
A type of epithelium that can stretch, found in areas like the urinary bladder.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
A single layer of scalelike cells primarily involved in transport functions such as absorption.
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Multiple layers of closely packed cells primarily providing protection.
Areolar Tissue
A type of connective tissue that acts as a glue to hold organs together.
Adipose Tissue
Connective tissue that stores lipids and serves as fat storage.
Fibrous Tissue
Connective tissue characterized by bundles of strong collagen fibers, such as tendons.
Bone
A type of connective tissue with a calcified matrix, providing support and protection.
Cartilage
A type of connective tissue with a gel-like matrix, containing chondrocytes as the cell type.
Blood
A fluid connective tissue with a liquid matrix, responsible for transportation and protection.
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Striated and voluntary muscle tissue that attaches to bones and is under conscious control.
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Striated and involuntary muscle tissue that composes the heart wall and is not under conscious control.
Smooth Muscle Tissue
Non-striated and involuntary muscle tissue found in blood vessels and other tube-shaped organs.
Axon
The part of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Dendrites
The part of a neuron that carries nerve impulses toward the cell body.
Glial Cells
Supportive and connecting cells in nervous tissue that assist neurons.
Tissue Regeneration
The process by which injured tissues repair themselves, with epithelial and connective tissues regenerating easily.

What are two classifications of cells that are associated with arrangement of cells?
Simple & Stratified
Simple
a single layer of cells of the same shape
Stratified
a classification associated with many layers of cells, named for shape of the cells on the outer layer
