Verified step by step guidance

Understand the four tissue types in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Each has specific functions and locations.

Review the characteristics of simple squamous epithelium. It is a single layer of flat cells that facilitates diffusion and filtration. Common locations include the lining of blood vessels (endothelium) and alveoli in the lungs.

Examine the characteristics of cardiac muscle tissue. It is specialized muscle tissue found exclusively in the walls of the heart, not in the stomach. The stomach walls are composed of smooth muscle tissue.

Analyze adipose tissue. It is a type of connective tissue that stores fat and provides insulation. It is found beneath the skin (subcutaneous layer) and around organs, not on the surface of the skin.

Understand hyaline cartilage. It is a type of connective tissue that provides support and flexibility. It is found in areas such as the nose, trachea, and ends of long bones, but not in tendons. Tendons are composed of dense regular connective tissue.
