- Meristematic: actively dividing (apical, lateral, intercalary)
- Parenchyma (thin, living, storage), Collenchyma (corner-thickened, flexibility), Sclerenchyma (thick, dead, strength)
- Xylem: water transport upward (mostly dead). Phloem: food transport (mostly living)
- Epithelial: squamous, cuboidal, columnar, ciliated, glandular
- Connective: blood, bone, cartilage, tendon (muscle-bone), ligament (bone-bone), areolar, adipose
- Muscular: striated (voluntary), smooth (involuntary), cardiac (involuntary, never tires)
- Nervous: neuron = cell body + dendrites + axon; transmits electrical impulses
