TYPES OF TISSUES

single layered flattened cells

Simple squamous epithelium

single layer of cubed cells

Simple cuboidal epithelium

single layer of cubed cells

Simple cuboidal epithelium

single layer of elongated rectangular

Simple columnar epithelium

Multiple layers. Apical are flattened and basal might be cuboidal

Stratified squamous epithelium

Single layer of colum shaped cells that look like they have multiple layers, because some cells do not reach the surface

Ciliates pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Multiple layers. Alicia cells may appear cuboidal or squamous

Transitional epithelium

Simple squamous

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Simple columnar epithelium

Pseudo stratified columnar epithelium

Stratified squamous epithelium

Transitional epithelium

Has fibroblasts, collagen fibers, elastic fibers

connective tissue proper loose areolar

Has adipocytes

connective tissue proper adipose

Has fibroblasts , lymphocytes

connective tissue proper loose reticular

Has fibroblasts , wavy collagen fibers

connective tissue proper dense regular

Has fibroblasts, collagen fibers

connective tissue proper dense irregular

Has chondrocytes inside the lacunae

hyaline cartilage

Has elastic fibers and lacunae

elastic cartilage

Has blue collagen fibers , lacunae, chondrocytes

fibrocartilage

Osteons, lacunae

osseous tissue

Red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes, nitrifulls

blood

Has striations

skeletal muscle

Has intercalated discs, striations

cardiac muscle

Nucleus in center of cells, no striations

smooth muscle

Has neurons and cell bodies

nervous tissue

function of areolar connective tissue + location

anchors skin tissues to deeper tissues (skin)

function of adipose connective tissue + location

stores fat ( behind and around eyes)

function of reticular connective tissue + location

supports immune cells ( lymph nodes)

function of dense regular connective tissue + location

allows a degree of stretching ( tendons)

function of dense irregular connective tissue + location

provides strength and resistance to pulling forces ( skin)

function of hyaline cartilage + location

provide support to joints and other body structures ( embryonic skeleton)

function of elastic cartilage + location

provide flexibility to parts of the body that need to move. ( ears epiglottis)

function of fibrocartilage + location

Strongest of the cartilages, resists compression forces of certain joints ( intervertebral discs)

function of osseous tissue + location

Provides strength and protection to bones ( bone)

function of blood = location

transport nutrients ( blood vessels)

function of skeletal muscle + location

Move skeleton and support joints ( head and neck)

function of cardiac muscle

Pump blood through the body ( heart)

functions of smooth muscle + location

Allows for movement of substances such as food and blood through the organs/body ( walls of our organs)

function of nervous tissues + location

allows our body to send and receive information incredibly quickly. (brain)

simple squamous epithelium function + location

Allows for gas exchange between lungs and blood vessels ( alveoli of the lung)

simple cuboidal epithelium function + location

Absorption and/or secretion ( kidneys)

simple columnar function + location

absorption, recreation of mucus ( intestines)

stratified epithelial function + location

protects tissues from abrasion ( esophagus)

pseudo stratified columnar epithelium function + location

secrete mucus ( upper respiratory tract)

transitional epithelium function + location

stretches readily when bladder is full ( ureters, bladder)
