Tissue
A group of cells, usually similar, which share
a particular function.
each organ made of tissues
Cell differentiation
Each cell changes its shape and parts to do its job better.
Every cell has a job that helps the whole body
Cells that are next to each other can work together
Once a cell changes for it’s job, it stays in the job
When microvilli are on the surface of the epithelial cells, it means…
Absorption and secretion take place there.
These cells are transportation specialists.
They are probably located along portions of the digestive and urinary tracts.
Two types of tissues
epithelium & connective

stratified squamous epithelium
the two types of stratified squamous epithelium are ______________ and ____________

found in thick, dry areas of skin
and is waterproof
non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in ___________
moist skin
(lining of mouth/esophagus)
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium in the sweat gland
Two layers
Square-shaped
Almost no diffusion between them
Usually found in tubes associated
with glands

stratified columnar epithelium
RARE usually two layers
rectangular
allows for no diffusion between them

Stratified Columnar Epithelium provides protection in __________
portions of the pharynx, urethra, and anus
Transitional epithelium (what it can do and where it is found)
can stretch and change shape
found in the bladder
2 types of connective tissues
Fibrous (proper) Connective tissue
Special connective tissue
Functions of connective tissues
1) Defend from invasion by microorganisms
2) some protection for delicate organs (but
epithelium is primary tissue that
protects underlying structures)
3) Establish a structural framework for the
body
five types of proper (fibrous) connective tissue
1) Adipose connective tissue
2) Reticular (lymph nodes)
3) Loose connective tissue
4) Dense Irregular connective tissue
5) Dense Regular connective tissue
the ________ tissue has lots of adipocytes
Adipose Tissue
fat is stored inside the _____________
adipocytes
Lymph nodes are ____________ tissue
reticular
the __________ tissue is the least specialized connective tissue
areolar (loose connective tissue)

the __________ tissue’s main cell type is fibroblast
Loose connective tissue (Areolar)


Loose connective tissue (Areolar) is common in areas just deep to the ____________
epithelium

areolar (loose) connective tissue is formed by __________
differentiation of embryonic connective tissue
skeletal muscle is bound together by ____________ tissue
areolar (loose) connective tissue


characteristics of dense irregular connective tissue
lots of collagen fibers:
Fibers have irregular position—no pattern
Extremely strong in all directions
Found in areas of body where strength is
needed:
-joint capsules
-deeper layers of dermis


characteristics of dense regular connective fibers
lots of collagen fibers—has a
pattern and run in same direction
