Anatomy Lab classification of tissues

simple squamous epithelium

Located in the lungs, blood vessels, and serous membranes. Functions in diffusion/filtration and secretes lubricating substances in serosae.

simple cuboidal epithelium

located in the kidneys, secretory portions of small glands, and the ovary surface. Functions in secretion and absorption.

simple columnar epithelium

Located in digestive tract lining, uterine tubes, small bronchi, gallbladder. Functions in absorption, secretion of mucus and enzymes, The ciliated type propels mucus

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Located in trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract. Functions in secretion of substances (mucus)

stratified squamous epithelium

Non keratinized version is located in esophagus, mouth, and vagina. Keatinized variety is in the epidermis of the skin

stratified cuboidal epithelium

Located in the largest ducts of the sweat glands, ammary glands, and salivary glands

stratified columnar epithelium

located in male urethra. Functions in protection and secretion

transitional epithelium

Located in the ureters, bladder. Functions in the distension of the urinary organs. There is a relaxed and then a distended version

Connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, areolar

Located under epithelia of the body: it packages organs and surrounds capillaries. Functions in cushioning organs and inflammation.

connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, adipose

Located under the skin, around kidneys + eyeballs, and in breasts

connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, reticular

Located in lymphs nodes, bone marrow, and spleen. Fuctions by forming a soft internal skeleton that supports cells like white blood cells, mast clls, and macrophages.

Connective tissue proper: dense regular connective tissue

Located in tendons. Functions in attaching muscles to bones/other muscles, bones to bones

connective tissue proper: elastic connective tissue

located in walls of large arteries and within the walls of the bronchial tubes. Functions in allows recoil of tissue following stretching. Maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries + passive recoil of lungs

connective tissue proper: dense irregular connective tissue

Located in fibrous capsules of organs and joints. Functions in being able to withstand tension + structural strength

Cartilage: hyaline

Located in the embryonic skeleton. Functions in supports and reinforcement. Resists compressive stress

cartilage: elastic

located in external ear and epiglottis. Functions in maintaining the structure while still allowing flexibility

cartilage: fibrocartilage

located in intervertebral discs, knee joint discs, and pubic symphysis. Functions in tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock

bones

Function in support and protection. Marrow is site of blood cell formation

blood

located in blood vessles. Transports respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes.

skeletal muscle

located in skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin. functions in voluntary movement, locomotion, facial expression

cardiac muscle

located in the walls of the heart. Functions in propelling blood during contraction.

smooth muscle

located in the walls of hollow organs. Functions is propelling subtances + involuntary control
