Stratified squamous keratinized epithelium- epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cells, with the outermost layers being flattened and filled with keratin, providing protection against abrasion and water loss.

???

Stratified non keratinized epithelium- epithelial tissue consisting of several layers of cells where the outermost layer is typically moist and flexible, providing protection while allowing for surface hydration.

???

Simple columnar epithelium- epithelial tissue characterized by a single layer of tall, column-like cells that often specialize in absorption and secretion.

???

Simple cuboidal epithelium- epithelial tissue composed of a single layer of cube-shaped cells, ideal for secretion and absorption, commonly found in glands and ducts.

???

Fibrocartilage- a tough, shock-absorbing type of cartilage packed with thick collagen fibers. It acts like a heavy-duty rubber pad between bones to handle heavy weight and strong pressure

???

Hyaline cartilage- a type of connective tissue that is smooth and glassy in appearance, providing support and flexibility, commonly found in the nose, trachea, and at the ends of long bones.

???

Cardiac muscle- a specialized, involuntary tissue found only in the heart

???

Adipose tissue- Connective tissue that stores fat, provides insulation, and supports organs.

???

Reticular connective tissue- a mesh-like, supportive network of thin branching fibers

???

Areolar connective tissue- a soft, loose, and flexible web of fibers and cells found throughout the body

???

Nervous tissue- the main body tissue that controls and coordinates body activities
