Function: protection, secretion
Location: pharynx, urethra, glandular ducts, transition areas or junctions
Transitional Epithelial
Function: stretches
Location: lining of hollow urinary organs
Areolar Connective
universal packing material
Adipose Connective
stores energy, insulates the body
Reticular Connective
internal framework that supports immune cells
Dense Regular Connective
makes up tendons that attach muscles to bone
Dense Irregular Connective
providing strength and flexibility in multiple directions, found in the dermis of the skin and organ capsules
Elastic Connective
allows the tissues to recoil after stretching, found around vertebrate, blood vessel walls and bronchial tubes
Hyaline Cartilage
Function: strong support and shock absorbtion
Location: tip of the nose, connects the ribs to the sternum
Elastic Cartilage
Function: maintains structure and allows flexibility
Location: outer ear and epiglottis
Fibrocartilage
Function: compressible and resists tension
Location: intervertebral discs and knee
Osseous
supports the body structure, stores calcium and fat, marrow inside bone makes blood cells
Blood
Function: transports stuff in and out
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
multinucleated, long cylindrical and striated muscle fibres, voluntary movement
Smooth Muscle Tissue
spindle-shaped, no striation, involuntary movement
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
branched and striated muscle fibres, electrically couple via intercalated discs, pumps blood
Neurons
basic unit of nervous tissue, sense stimuli and transmit impulses around the body
Neuroglial Cells
support nerve cells: supply nutrients to neurons, removes excess neurotransmitters, maintains electrolyte balance, nervous system repair, protection against microorganisms
Astrocytes
Function: form a blood brain barrier
Location: brain + spinal chord
Schwann Cells
Function: forms the myelin sheath
Location: axons
Repair
proliferation of cells + tissue + scar tissue (function not fully restored)
Restoration
proliferation of cells and tissue (complete restoration of lost structure)
