| 216721990 | Exocrine | glands that secrete substances outward through a duct | |
| 216721991 | Endocrine | ductless glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream | |
| 216721992 | Merocrine | exocrine glands that secrete without losing cellular material | |
| 216721993 | Apocrine | exocrine glands that have cytoplasm in their secretions | |
| 216721994 | Holocrine | exocrine glands whose secretions are made up of disintegrated cells | |
| 217760125 | Extracellular Matrix | the chemical substances located between connective tissue cells | |
| 217760126 | Loose Connective | tissue that is used for light duty binding (under the skin) | |
| 217760127 | Dense Irregular | tissue that has strength in all directions (lower layer of the skin) | |
| 217760128 | Dense Regular | connective tissue made from collagen fibers that run in the same direction providing tensile strength and can be found in tendons and ligaments | |
| 217760129 | Adipose | tissue containing stored fat (found in mammary glands, under the skin, and around the kidneys) | |
| 217760130 | Chondrocytes | Mature cartilage cells | |
| 217760131 | Hyaline | Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and nose providing firmness with resilience | |

| 217760136 | Serous Membrane | cover the organs on the trunk cavities and line the trunk cavities (they lubricate organs so they can move against each other) | |
| 217760137 | Stromal | cells that provide structure or support for parenchymal cells | |
| 217760138 | Parenchymal | cells that provide the actual function of the tissue | |
