tissue locations

Locations of Simple squamous epithelium

Air sacs (pulmonary alveoli) of lungs; glomerular capsules of kidneys; some kidney tubules; inner lining (endothelium) of heart and blood vessels; serous membranes of stomach, intestines, and some other viscera; surface mesothelium of pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, and mesenteries.

Locations of Simple cuboidal epithelium

Ducts and secretory portions of liver, thyroid, mammary, salivary, and other glands; most kidney tubules; inner lining of bronchioles; outer surface of ovary.

Locations of Simple columnar epithelium

Inner lining of stomach, intestines, gallbladder, uterus and uterine tubes; some kidney tubules; small bronchi.

Locations of Stratified squamous epithelium

Epidermis; palms and soles are heavily keratinized (large amounts of keratin protein); tongue; oral mucosa; esophagus; anal canal; vagina.

Locations of Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Respiratory tract from nasal cavity to bronchi; portions of the male urethra.

Locations of Transitional epithelium

Urinary tract- part of kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and part of urethra.

Locations of Loose connective tissue

Underlying nearly all epithelia; surrounding blood vessels, nerves, esophagus, and trachea; fascia between muscles; mesenteries; visceral layers of pericardium and pleura.

Locations of Dense connective tissue, regular type

Tendons and ligaments.

Locations of Dense connective tissue, irregular type

deeper portions of skin's dermis; capsules around viscera such as liver, kidney, spleen; fibrous sheaths around cartilages and bones.

Locations of Elastic tissue

Found in vocal cords; some spinal ligaments; walls of large and medium arteries (e.g. aorta).

Adipose tissue location

Subcutaneous fat beneath the skin; breast; heart surface; mesenteries; surrounding organs such as kidneys and eyes.

Locations of Reticular tissue

Found in lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.

Locations of Hyaline cartilage

Articular cartilage over the ends of bones at movable joints; supportive rings around trachea and bronchi; larynx; much of early fetal skeleton; attachment of ribs to sternum; epiphyseal plate (growth plate).

elastic cartilage location

Found in external ear and epiglottis

fibrocartilage locations

Found in pubic symphysis; intervertebral discs; menisci in the knees; points where tendons insert on bones near articular cartilage.

Skeletal striated muscle locations

Skeletal muscles attached to bones; within the tongue, esophagus, and encircling lips, eyelids, urethra, and anus.

Cardiac striated muscle location

heart

Smooth muscle tissue location

Sheets of tissue within walls of blood vessels and organs such as digestive tract; iris of the eye; associated with hair follicles; involuntary sphincters of urethra and anus.

Nerve tissue location

Found in brain, spinal cord, nerves, and ganglia.

blood location

Within heart and blood vessels.
