Solution:

             Simple epithelium

            Compound epithelium

  • Formed of single layer of cells

  • Formed of several layers of cells

  • Seen in areas like lining of lungs,alveoli

  • Seen in areas like skin,tongue

  • The main functions include absorption,excretion

  • The main function is protection




             Striated muscle

              Cardiac muscle

  • Found in regions like limbs,tongue

  • Found only in heart region

  • Voluntary in action

  • Involuntary in action

  • Multinucleated cells

  • Uninucleated cells

  • Long and cylindrical muscles

  • Short and branched muscles




      Dense regular connective tissue

       Dense irregular connective tissue

  • Parallel arrangement of collagen fibres

  • Irregular arrangement of collagen fibres

  • Seen in ligaments and tendons

  • Seen in dermis of skin

  • Collagen fibres are not darkly stained


             Adipose tissue

                   Blood tissue

  • Formed of collagen fibres,adipocytes

  • Formed of red blood cells,white blood cells,platelets

  • Helps in storage of fats

  • Helps in transport of oxygen,hormones,nutrients

  • Seen in below the skin

  • Seen in blood vessels



           Simple gland

             Compound gland

  • Cells are unicellular

  • Cells are multicellular

  • Absence of branched ducts

  • Presence of branched ducts

  • Example:Sweat gland

  • Example:Pancreas
