Lymph connective tissue

Blood: monocyte

Blood: lymphocyte

Blood: basophil

Blood: eosinophil

Blood: neutrophil

Blood: erythrocytes

basically, a red blood cell

Blood: platelets

also called a thrombocyte 

Simple squamous epithelium - location

Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; serosae

Simple cuboidal epithelium - location

Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface

Simple columnar epithelium - location

Non-ciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - location

Ciliated variety lines the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract; non-ciliated type in males’ sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands

Stratified squamous epithelium - location

Nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry epithelium

Stratified cuboidal epithelium - location

quite rare, mostly found in the ducts of some of the larger glands (sweat glands, mammary glands)

Stratified columnar epithelium - location

also, quite rare, small amounts are found in the pharynx, the male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts

Transitional epithelium - location

Lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra

Areolar connective tissue - location

Widely distributed under epithelia of body, e.g., forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds capillaries

Adipose connective tissue - location

Under skin in subcutaneous tissue; around kidneys and eyeballs; within abdomen; in breasts

Reticular connective tissue - location

Lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen)

Dense regular connective tissue - location

tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses

Dense irregular connective tissue - location

Fibrous capsules of organs and of joints; dermis of the skin; submucosa of digestive tract

Elastic connective tissue - location

Walls of large arteries; within certain ligaments associated with the vertebral column; within the walls of the bronchial tubes

Hyaline cartilage connective tissue - location

Forms most of the embryonic skeleton; covers the ends of long bones in joint cavities; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx

Elastic cartilage connective tissue - location

Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis

Fibrocartilage connective tissue - location

Intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint

Bone connective tissue - location

Supports and protects (by enclosing); provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)

Blood connective tissue - location

contained within blood vessels

Lymph connective tissue - location

primarily located in lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus, and throughout the mucosal linings of the body, playing a crucial role in the immune system.

Skeletal muscle tissue - location

In skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin

Cardiac muscle tissue - location

The walls of the heart

Smooth muscle tissue - location

Mostly in the walls of hollow organs
