Stratified – multiple layers
By shape:
Squamous – flat & square
Cuboidal – cube-like
Columnar – column-like

4. What kind is this?

5. Connective Tissue Most abundant & variable of all tissue types
Functions:
Binding
Support
Protection
Storage
Transport

6. Connective Tissue - Types
Loose connective tissue
Lots of cells & empty space
Few fibers

Few cells, lots of fibers
Cartilage

Bone
Blood
