Cartilage
A cartilage cell
Chondrocyte
Basic type of tissue that consists of cells within an extracellular matrix (includes bone and cartilage)
Connective tissue
Tissue that covers all external and line all internal body surfaces. Varieties are classified by cell shale and numbers of layers

Macrophage
Contractile tissues consisting of filaments of actin and myosin, which slide past each other, shortening cells
Muscle tissue
Neurons and neuroglia
Nervous tissue
Bone nervous tissue
Neuroglia
Specialized cell of the nervous system that produces myelin; communicated between cells and maintained the ionic environment
Neuroglia cell
Nerve cell
Neuron
Bone tissue
Osseous tissue
Mature bone cell
Osteocyte
Cylinder-shaped unit containing bone cells that surround a central canal; Haversian system
Osteon
Single layer of cells appearing as more that one layer because the nuclei occupy different positions in the cells
