        Stores energy
    - - Examples
        
        Blood
        
        Function
        
        Carries oxygen and materials all around the body
        
        Lymph
    - - Examples
        
        Bones
        
        Function
        
        Gives strength, structure, and support to the rest of the body
        
        Description
        
        Contains dense ground substance and closely packed fibers
        
        Cartilage
- - - - Stratified Squamous
        
        Function
        
        Protects against abrasion
        
        Structure
        
        Flat cells stacked upon each other
        
        Location
        
        Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
      - Stratified Columnar
        
        Function
        
        Secretes and protects
        
        Structure
        
        Columnar cells stacked upon another columnar cell
        
        Location
        
        The male urethra and the ducts of some glands
      - Stratified Cuboidal
        
        Function
        
        Protective tissue
        
        Structure
        
        Stacked cubes on top of each other
        
        Location
        
        Sweat glands, salivary glands, and the mammary glands
    - - Function
        
        Secretes mucus; ciliated tissue moves mucus
      - Structure
        
        The cell columns are not equal and each one is unique
      - Location
        
        Ciliated tissue lines the trachea and much of the upper respiratory tract
    - - Simple Squamous
        
        Function
        
        Allows materials to pass through by diffusion and filtration, and secretes lubricating substance
        
        Structure
        
        Very thin, small, single layer of cells
        
        Location
        
        Air sacs of lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels
      - Simple Cuboidal
        
        Function
        
        Secretes and absorbs
        
        Structure
        
        Cubes on a single layer
        
        Location
        
        In ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules
      - Simple Columnar
        
        Function
        
        Absorbs; it also secretes mucous and enzymes
        
        Structure
        
        Very tall stretched cells and only one layer
        
        Location
        
        Ciliated tissues are in bronchi, uterine tubes, and uterus; smooth(non-ciliated tissues) are in the digestive tract, bladder
    - - Function
        
        Allows the urinary organs to expand and stretch
      - Strucuture
        
        Sort of randomly stacked, but in a form to expand
      - Location
        
        Lines the bladder, urethra, and ureters
