· Simple columnar epithelium

· Pseudo -stratified columnar epithelium

· Stratified squamous

· Stratified cuboidal

· Stratified columnar

· Transitional epithelium

· Air sacs of lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels

· Ducts and secretory portions of glands and kidney

· Bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus, bladder

· Ciliated tissues, trachea, upper respiratory tract

· Lines of oesophagus, mouth and vag*na

· Sweat glands, salivary glands, mammary glands

· Male urethra, ducts of some glands

· Lines of bladder, urethra and ureter

· Allows materials to pass through by diffusion, filtration lubrication

· Secretes and absorbs

· Secretes mucous and enzyme

· Secretes mucous, ciliated tissues moves mucous

· Protects against abrasion

· Protective tissues

· Secretes and protects

· Allows urinary organs to expands and stretch

connective

· Loose connective tissue

· Dense connective tissues

· Adipose tissues

· Blood

· Cartilage

· Bone

· Fibroblasts, adipose and WBCs

· Fibroblasts

· Adipocytes

· RBCs and WBCs & platelets

· Chondrocytes

· Osteocytes, osteoblasts

· Defends the body against antigens

· Makes plasma

· Oxygen transportation

· Preserve fats and heat in body

· Makes skeleton

· Preserve calcium

nervous

Neurons

Brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout the body

Electrochemical signalling throughout the body, functions of brain body connections, voluntary and involuntary actions

muscle

· Skeletal

· Smooth

· Cardiac

· Attached to bones

· Internal and hollow organs

· Heart

· Pull bones and make them move (voluntary)

· Move the food, urine etc (involuntary)

· Pumps blood and contraction of heart (involuntary)
