Simple cuboidal epithelium (from kidney). Arrows indicate nuclei.	Motor neurons. 1 = cell body; 2 = nucleus; 3 = axon; 4 = dendrites; 5 = glial cell nuclei
Loose (or areolar) connective tissue. 1 = collagen fiber; 2 = nuclei of fibroblasts	Fibrous (or dense) connective tissue (from tendon). 1 = fibroblast
Hyaline cartilage. Arrow indicates chondrocyte within lacuna	Compact bone, showing: 3 = osteon (Haverian system); 1 = Haversian canal; 2 = osteocyte in lacuna
