Iris of the eye. Airways to the lungs. Walls of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder, and female uterus. Majority of these tissues are found in the brain and spinal cord These muscles attached to bones to perform voluntary movement and maintenance of posture present in the embryo through its development into a fetus Provides support, nourishment, and protection to many neurons that constitute the nervous system Avascular with no blood vessels entering between cells present in the newborn through its development into adulthood and beyond Consists of loosely arranged fibers that form a network between cells and contain; areolar, adipose, and reticular connective tissue Consists of many thick, tightly packed fibers with very few supporting cells Contain cardiomyocytes. In cross-section, they tend to be less circular than skeletal muscle fibers. Cells are branched and tightly joined to each other by specialized junctions known as intercalated discs.
