muscle tissuetissue type that provides the movement of body parts nerve tissue tissue type that allows for communication and coordination of body functions simple squamous epithelial tissue found in the alveoli of the lungs, lining of blood vessels; allows for rapid diffusion of substances, filtration, osmosis simple cuboidal epithelial tissue found in lining of kidney tubules ad ovaries; secretes and absorbs simple columnar epithelial tissue found in lining of most organs of the digestive tract; secretes digestive fluids and absorbs nutrients from food psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelial tissue found in lining of respiratory system; protects, secretes, and moves mucous stratified squamous epithelial tissue forms epidermis, found in lining of the throat and mouth; protects, prevents water loss and entry of chemicals or microorganisms transitional epithelial tissue found in inner lining of the bladder; protects, prevents contents of urinary tract from diffusing back into internal environment areolar connective tissue loose connective tissue; fills space between muscles, binds skin to organs, blood vessels nourish nearby epithelial tissue adipose connective tissue fat; beneath skin, between muscles, around kidneys, surface of heart, around joints, cushions joints/organs, insulates, stores energy dense connective tissue connective tissue that makes up tendons and ligaments cartilage connective tissue found in the ends of bones, nose, fetal skeleton, rings in airway (hyaline), external ear, parts of larynx, flexible, elastic support (elastic), meniscus of the knee, intervertebral discs, absorbs shock (fibrocartilage)
