Studied by 27 peopleAdipose Tissue
Loose connective tissue consisting of fat cells with little extracellular matrix
Reticular Tissue
Loose connective tissue made up of a network of reticular fibers that provide a supportive framework for soft organs
Dense Regular Tissue
Consists of collagenous fibers packed into parallel bundles
Dense Irregular Tissue
Consists of collagenous fibers interwoven into a mesh-like network
Hyaline cartilage
A translucent bluish-white type of cartilage present in the joints, the respiratory tract, and the immature skeleton
Fibrocartilage
Acts as a cushion within joints, where it helps manage compression forces and reduces stress placed on joints. It is a white color.
Elastic cartilage
Most flexible cartilage supporting parts of your body that need to bend and move to function. Elastic cartilage can bounce back to its original shape, even after a strong force.
Blood Connective Tissue
Connects all systems of the body and transports oxygen, nutrients, and wastes
Muscle Tissue: Skeletal Muscles
Prominent striation and nuclei on their periphery
Muscle Tissue: Smooth Muscle
Single nucleus and no visible striations
Muscle Tissue: Cardiac Muscle
Single nucleus and appear striated
Nervous Tissue
Made up of neurons and neuroglia, specialized to transmit and receives impulses
Transitional
Has many layers of cells rather than one. Components of urinary system are lined with this tissue.
Simple Squamous
An epithelial tissue that is composed of a single layer of epithelial cells
Stratified Squamous
Usually has protective functions, including protection against microorganisms from invading underlying tissue and/or protection against water loss. The epidermis is made of this kind of tissue.
Pseudostratified Columnar
Secretes mucus that traps foreign particles
Simple Columnar
Main function is protection. Lines stomach and digestive tract and provides an impermeable barrier against any bacteria that could be ingested but is permeable to any necessary ions.
Simple Cuboidal
Absorption and secretion of substances like water and salt in the kidneys and hormones and other substances produced by glands.
Aerolar Tissue
It is found surrounding blood vessels, nerve bundles, muscles, and organs. It also fills the spaces between organs and connects your skin to your underlying muscle
Bone
A mineralized connective tissue that exhibits four types of cells: osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts
