Cartilage provides support and flexibility to various structures in the body, such as joints and the rib cage.

Skeletal muscle tissue is responsible for voluntary movements of the body, allowing for locomotion and manipulation.

Stratified squamous epithelium primarily functions in protection against abrasion and pathogens.

Ciliated epithelial cells are specialized for the movement of substances across their surface, such as mucus in the respiratory tract.

Nervous tissue is responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses throughout the body, facilitating communication.

Tendons are connective tissues that connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement.

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat and provides insulation and cushioning.

Ciliated columnar epithelium is found in the lining of the respiratory tract, where it helps to trap and move particles out of the airways.

Simple columnar epithelium is specialized for absorption and secretion, commonly found in the intestines.

Blood is a connective tissue that is responsible for the transport of nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body.

Blood is a connective tissue that transports nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body.

Epithelial tissue is characterized by closely packed cells with minimal intercellular space, forming a protective layer.

Secretion is primarily a function of epithelial tissue, not connective tissue.

Epithelial tissue is not a type of connective tissue; it serves as a protective layer and is distinct from connective tissues.

Nervous tissue is responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses throughout the body.

Tendons are connective tissues that connect muscles to bones, facilitating movement.

Stratified squamous epithelium is designed to protect underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion, such as the skin.

Columnar epithelium is specialized for absorption and secretion, often found in the digestive tract.

Simple columnar epithelium is specialized for absorption and is commonly found in the intestines.

Stratified squamous epithelium provides protection against abrasion and is found in areas such as the skin and the lining of the mouth.

Smooth muscle is involuntary and is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and blood vessels.

Skeletal muscle is striated and is under voluntary control, allowing for movement of the skeleton.

Skeletal muscle is striated and under voluntary control, allowing for conscious movement.
