Front	Back
	SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM LOCATION: HEART, BLOOD VESSELS, LYMPHATIC VESSEL LININGS FUNCTION: FILTRATION AND DIFFUSION
	SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM LOCATION: COVERS SURFACE OF OVARY, LINES ANTERIOR SURFACE OF EYE. FUNCTION: SECRETION, ABSORBTION
	CILIATED SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM LOCATION: LINES SOME BRONCHIOLES OF RESPIRATORY TRACT, UTERINE TUBES, UTERUS FUNCTION: CILIA BEAT IN UNISOME MOVING MUCUS AND FOREIGN PARTICLES TOWARD THROAT. NON CILIATED: SECRETION AND ABSORBTION
	STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM LOCATION: LINING OF MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS, PART OF EPIGLOTTIS, AND PART OF PHARYNX THAT COVERS TONGUE. FUNCTION: PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM MECHANICAL FRICTION FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES. ALSO PROTECTS FROM CHEMICALS IN EPITHELIA LINING.
	TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM LOCATION: LINES URINARY BLADDER AND PORTIONS OF URETERS AND URETHRA FUNCTION: ALLOWS URINARY ORGANS TO STRETCH AND MAINTAIN PROTECTIVE LINING
	PSEUDOSTRATIFIED CILIATED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM LOCATION: CILIATED VARIETY LINES AIRWAYS OF RESPIRATORY TRACT FUNCTION: PROTECTS STRUCTURES AND SECRETES MUCUS BY GOBLET CELLS, AND MOVE MUCUS BY CILIA.
	AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE LOCATION: PAPILLARY REGION OF DERMIS OF SKIN. LAMINA PROPIA OF MUCUS MEMBRANE FUNCTION: STRENGTH, ELASTICITY SUPPORT
	HYALINE CARTILAGE LOCATION: FOUND AT END OF BONES. ANTERIOR END OF RIBS, NOSE, PARTS OF LARYNX, TRACHEA, BRONCHI FUNCTION: PROVIDEDS SMOOTH SURFACES FOR MOVEMNET OF JOINTS FLEXIBILITY AND SUPPORT OF WEAKEST CARTILAGE
	ADIPOSE TISSUE LOCATION: AROUND HEART, KIDNEYS, YELLOW BONE MARROW, PADDING AROUND JOINTS AND BEHIND EYEBALL SOCKET FUNCTION: REDUCES HEAT LOSS THROUGH SKIN, SERVES AS ENERGY RESERVE
	DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE LOCATION: FORMS TENDONS (ATTACHES TENDONS TO BONES) APONEUROSES SHEETLIKE TENDONS THAT ATTACH MUSCLE TO MUSCLE AND MUSCLE TO BONE FUNCTION: PROVIDES STRONG ATTACHMENT BETWEEN VARIOUS STRUCTURES.
	RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE LOCATION: LIVER, SPLEEN, LYMPH NODES, RED BONE MARROW FUNCTION: BINDS SMOOTH MUSCLE TISSUE CELLS, FILTERS AND REMOVES WORN OUT BLOOD CELLS IN SPLEEN AND MICROBES IN LYMPH NODES.
	FIBROCARTILAGE LOCACTION: PUBIC SYMPHYSIS, INVERTABRAL DISCS FUNCTION:STRONGEST TYPE OF CARTILAGE. SUPPORT AND JOINS STRUCTURES TOGETHER
	BLOOD LOCATION: WITHIN BLOOD VESSELS AND CHAMBERS OF HEART FUNCTION: RED TRANSPORTS O2 AND SOME CO2, wHITE CARRY PHAGOCYTOSIS AND MEDIATE ALLERGIC REACTION AND IMMUNE SYSTEM, PLATELETS ARE FOR CLOTTING
	COMPACT BONE LOCATION: BONES IN THE BODY FUNCTION: SUPPORT, PROTECT, STORAGE OF BLOODING FORMING TISSUE, SERVES AS LEVERS
	SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUE LOCATION: ATTACHED TO BONES BY TENDONS FUNCTION: MOTION, POSTURE, HEAT PRODUCTION, PROTECTION
