Histology

Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue

Lungs; Diffusion and filtration; one layer, squished

Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue

Glands, such as pancreas, salivary glands; Secretion and absorption; one layer, cubic

Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue

Stomach, intestines, stomach lining, intestinal tract; Absorption and secretion of mucus/enzymes; one layer, long

Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelial Tissue

Along the respiratory tract; Traps and moves particles in mucus; little hairs on top 

Transitional Epithelial Tissue

Urinary bladder; stretches to allow for expansion; circle of cells SO MANY

Stratified Squamous

Skin; protects against abrasion and pathogens; many squished cells

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Attached to the skeleton; voluntary movement of body; Smooth side waves tubes

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Stomach, intestines; Involuntary movement of organs (constriction); lines running down 

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Heart; pumps blood through heart (contractions); Side ways bamboo with intercalated disks 

Areolar Connective Tissue

Skin; Cushions, supports, and holds organs together; bunch of hairs, cotton candy

Nervous

Brain, spinal cord; Transmits electrical impulses and processes information; Star fish 

Reticular Connective Tissue

Spleen, Liver, Kidney; Forms supportive framework for organs (spleen, lymph nodes); cherry blossom trees

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Tendons, ligaments; Strong attachment, resists pulling; Long straight stands, kinetic sand 

Fibrocartilage 

Between the vertebrae; Absorbs shock, resists compression; grand canyon 

Elastic Cartilage

External ear, nose; Provides support with flexibility; Wall of cubic cells, waterfall

Hyaline Cartilage

Along the respiratory tract, ribs; Smooth surface for movement, supports, reduces friction; small cells some not so visible

Adipose

Skin, various body fat locations; Stores energy, cushions, insulates; water bubbles

Blood

Throughout the cardiovascular system... because it's blood; Transports oxygen, nutrients, waste, immune defense, clotting; Squished donuts 

Bone 

Bone; Supports, protects organs, stores minerals, makes blood cells; tree trunks
