Transitional Epithelial

Function: Allows urinary organs to stretch and hold changing amounts of fluid without rupture,serves as a protection lining.

Location: Lines urinary bladder, portions of uterus,and urethra.

Stratified Columnar Epithelial

Function: Protection and secretion

Location: Lines some urethra, large ducts, esophagus glands,small areas in mucous membrane, eye conjunctive.

Glandular Epithelial

Fuction: Produce hormones that regulate various body cavities

Location: Pitulitary gland at base of brain, pineal gland in brain, thyroid and parathyroid, near larynx above the kidney/pancreas

Vascular Connective

Function: Red blood cells transport oxygen,white blood cells fight for immunity and allergic reactions

Location: Blood vessels

Osseous Connective

Fuction: Supports soft tissues, protects, delicate structures and works with skeletal muscles to generate movement.

Location: In between sockets

Fibroblast Connective

Fuction: Production and maintenance of fibers

Location: Various connective tissues

Collagen Fibers Connective

Fuction: Provides flexibility and strength

Location:Loose and dense connective tissue

Elastic Fibers

Function:Provides elasticity and extensibility

Location: Loose and elastic connective tissue

Reticular Fibers Connective

Fuction: Provides support for tissues in the organs

Location: Reticular connective tissue

Skeletal Muscle

Function: Generates motion, maintains posture, and produces body heat

Location: Attached to bones of skeleton.

Cardiac Muscle

Function: Pumps blood throughout the body

Location: Walls of heart

Smooth Muscle

Function: Moves substances through hollow organs. (ex-Blood through vessels or food through intestines)

Location: Walls of hollow internal organs. (ex- Stomach, vessels,airways)

Nervous Tissue

Function: Sense stimuli, conduct impulses, support/protect nuerons

Location: Throughout the nervous system (Brain)
