Connective Tissue
Supports bones and tendons
Muscle Tissues
Moves muscles and bones
Nervous Tissues

Artifacts
tissues under microscope exposed to many procedures after original condition
Granular Tissue
create boundaries between different environments through protection, secretion, sensory reception
Apical Structure
not attached to surrounding tissue and exposed to outside of body/cavity of internal organisms
Basal Tissue
next to connective tissue, adjacent to basal lamina for selective filter
Desmosomes
keep cell together
Tight Junctions
to prevent passage of molecules and ions
Reticular Tissue
deep to basal, collagen protein fiber for underlying connective tissue
Epithelium
no blood vessels, supplied by nerve fibers
Single epithelia
