Tissue Chart Summary (types of tissues, function, and location)

types of epithelial tissue

Simple Squamous

SIMPLE CUBOIDAL

Simple Columnar

Pseudostratified

Stratified Squamous

TRANSITIONAL

Function and location of simple squamous

air sacs in lungs

diffusion

Function and location of simple cuboidal

ovaries and kidneys

absorption and secretion

Function and location of simple columnar

digestive tract (intestines)

absorption

Function and location of pseudostratified

air passages (trachea)

moves air and removes debris

Function and location of stratified squamous

outer layer of skin, covers organs

protection

Function and location of transitional

urinary bladder

stretchable (allows organs to change shape)

types of connective tissue

Areolar (Loose CT)

Adipose

FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE = DENSE REGULAR CT

Hyaline Cartilage

ELASTIC CARTILAGE

FIBROCARTILAGE

BONE (Osseous)

Blood

Function and location of areolar CT

binds skin to internal organs

stretchable

Function and location of adipose CT

fatty layer beneath skin

energy reserve, padding/cushioning, insulation

Function and location of dense regular CT

tendons and ligaments

connects structures (muscles to bones and bones to bones)

Function and location of hyaline cartilage

covers ends of bones and makes up trachea, larynx, and nose

decreases friction in joints, support

Function and location of elastic cartilage

ears and epiglottis

provides flexable support and structure

Function and location of fibrocartilage

vertebrae

absorbs shock

Function and location of bone

skeleton

protects, provides structure, helps with movement

Function and location of blood

circulates throughout body

Transports O2 & nutrients AND waste (CO2) and ions; Protects from foreign invaders

types of muscle tissue

skeletal, smooth, cardiac

Function and location of skeletal muscle tissue

muscles connected to bones

MOVES the body - attaches to bones to help you walk, run, breathe, talk… etc.

Function and location of smooth muscle tissue

digestive system

MOVES stuff along/within organs - examples: Blood, urine, baby, food and/or feces

Function and location of cardiac muscle tissue

heart

MOVES (pumps) blood around the body (through the blood vessels and heart chambers)

types of nerve tissue

one main type but technically neurons and glial cells

function and location of nerve tissue

nerves and neuroglia

SENDS electrical signals to control the body AND to coordinate/synchronize organs & events of the body
