Animal Tissues

Epithelial Tissue

form covering and linings in animals; has large continuous sheets of cells

Simple Squamous

Single layer of cells that are thin, look like plates, and are tight fitting; include walls of alveoli and capillaries

Simple Cuboidal

Square cells in a single layer found in the kidney tubules and various glands

Simple Columnar

Tall thin cells in a single layer, found in the digestive tract

Pseudostratified Columnar epithelium

Single layer of cells that appears to be be more than one level because the nuclei are staggered

Stratified squamous

plate-like cells in multiple layers, like those found in skin

Transitional

Single layer of cells which stack up on each other when the organ is not distended, found in the urinary bladder

Tissue

Group of cells with similar structure and function

Histology

Study of Tissues

Connective Tissue

Tissue which typically binds things together. Made of cells with an intercellular matrix

Loose (areolar) tissue

contains lose fibers which can act as a glue to hold organs in place

Adipose tissue

Fat

Dense Connective Tissue

Tendons and Ligaments

bone

connective tissue that is made of osteocytes and makes up your skeleton

Cartilage

Connective tissue with little blood supply that provides is not very flexible, the cells are called chondrocytes

Neurons

The cells which transfer electrical charge in a neuron

Neuroglia

helper cells in the nerve that support, nourish, and protect the neurons

Skeletal Muscle

Voluntary muscle that moves the skeleton; multi-nucleated with striated fibers

Smooth Muscle

Involuntary muscle that lines the gut; single nuclei without striations

Cardiac Muscle

Hear muscle, striated cells with branching fibers
