Simple squamous epithelium
Simple - single-layered
Epithelium - covers or lines free, unattached surfaces (free space)
Squamous - flatter, disk shaped cells
Oval shaped nucleus


Simple cuboidal epithelium
Simple - single-layered
Epithelium - covers or lines free, unattached surfaces (free space)
Cuboidal - shaped like rounded squares
Nucleus is near the center of the cell


Simple columnar epithelium - NO CILIA
Simple - single-layered
Epithelium - covers or lines free, unattached surfaces (free space)
Tall and narrow
Nucleus is oval-shaped and is near the base of the cell
Contains goblet cells that hold mucus
NO CILIA


Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - YES CILIA
Pseudostratified - appears to have many layers but is actually single-layered
Epithelium - covers or lines free, unattached surfaces (free space)
Tall and narrow
Contains goblet cells that hold mucus and DOES CONTAIN CILIA


Stratified squamous epithelium - keratinized
Stratified - multi-layered
Squamous - flatter, disk shaped cells
Epithelium - covers or lines free, unattached surfaces (free space)
Keratinized - exposed to the outside world; palms of hand and soles of feet
These cells can be found on the skin in the form of several layers of dead skin cells which keeps us hydrated
No nuclei present in the dead cells
The cells get flatter towards the surface of the skin


Stratified squamous epithelium - nonkeratinized
Stratified - multi-layered
Squamous - flatter, disk shaped cells
Epithelium - covers or lines free, unattached surfaces (free space)
Nonkeratinized - exposed to the outside world, but in a moist environment; cheek cells in the mouth, esophagus
These cells are living and nuclei are present


Areolar connective tissue - FOUND IN THE DERMIS
Areolar - contains lots of fibers
Connective tissue - no free space
Makes up stretchy parts of the body like skin
Cells usually do not come into contact with each other
The dark red spots are the nuclei of the cells that are responsible for creating all the messy fibers visible in the images


Adipose tissue - FOUND IN THE HYPODERMIS
Adipose - cells containing fat molecules
Connective tissue - no free space
The cells contain very little amounts of cytoplasm, but many fat molecules
The darker purple dots are the nuclei of the adipocytes (cloud-like images)


Dense regular connective tissue
Wave-like pattern that is very uniform
Slender nuclei
Found in tendons and ligaments
Tendons - connect muscle to bone
Ligaments - connect bone to bone


Dense irregular connective tissue - FOUND IN THE DERMIS
Less wave-like in appearance; much more messy, with fibers running in random directions
Few visible cells


What tissues are present in this photo?
Top layer - stratified squamous epithelium; dead skin cells on the epidermis
Middle layer - areolar connective tissue found in the dermal papilla
Bottom layer near the arrow - dense irregular connective tissue, making up the layer of skin known as the dermis
Skin layers from superficial to deep: epidermis » dermis » hypodermis
