What are the function of epithelial tissues?
Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion
What are the function of connective tissues
Bind, support, protect, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells
Function of muscle tissues
Movement
What are the function of nervous tissues
Conduct impulses for coordination, regulation, integration, and sensory reception
Where are epithelial cells located
Cover body surface, cover and line internal organs, compose glands
Where are connective tissues located
Widely distributed throughout the body
Where are the muscle tissues located
Attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs, heart
Where are nervous tissues located
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
Characteristics of epithelial tissues
Lack blood vessels, readily divide, cells are tightly packed, has free (apical) surface either inside or outside.
Characteristics of connective tissues
Good blood supply, cells further apart (has extracelllar matrix in between)
Characteristics of muscle tissues
Contracts in response to specific stimuli
Characteristics of nervous tissues
Cells communicate with each other and other body parts
Function of simple squamous epithelium
Filtration, diffusion, osmosis, covers surface
Function of simple cuboidal epithelium
Protection, secretion (simple)
Function of simple columnar epithelium
Protection, secretion, absorption
Function of pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Protection, secretion, movement of mucus
Function of stratified squamous epithelium
Protection (strat. squa.)
Function of stratified cuboidal epithelium
Protection (strat. cub.)
Function of stratified columnar epithelium
Protection, secretion (stratified)
Function of transitional epithelium
Stretchability, protection
Location of simple squamous epithelium
Air sacs of the lungs, walls of capillaries, linings of blood and lymph vessels, past of the membranes lining body cavities and covering viscera
Location of simple cuboidal epithelium
Surface of ovaries, linings of kidney tubules, and linings of ducts of certain glands
Location of simple columnar epithelium
Linings of uterus, stomach, and intestines
Location of pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Linings of respiratory passages
Location of stratified squamous epithelium
Superficial layer of skin, and linings of oral cavity, throat, vagina, and anal canal
Location of stratified cuboidal epithelium
Linings of ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas
Location of stratified columnar epithelium
Part of the male urethra and linings of larger ducts of excretory glands
Location of transitional epithelium
Inner lining of urinary bladder and linings of ureters and part of urethra
Types of loose connective tissues
Areolar tissue, adipose tissue (fat), reticular connective tissue
Types of dense connective tissue
Hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage, bone, blood
Function of areolar tissue
Binds organs
Function of adipose tissue
Protects (cushions joints and organs), insulates, stores fat
Function of reticular connective tissue
Supports
Location of areolar tissue
Beneath skin, between muscles, beneath epithelial tissues
Location of adipose tissue
Beneath skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, on surface of heat
Location of reticular connective tissue
In walls of liver and spleen
Characteristics of areolar tissue
Forms thin, delicate membranes. has gel-like ground substance containing collagen and reticular fibers, main cell type are fibroblasts
Characteristics of adipose tissue
Contains adipocytes (stores fat in cytoplasm),\
Function of hyaline cartilage
Supports, protects, provides framework
Function of elastic cartilage
Supports, protects, provides flexible framework
Function of fibrocartilage (1)
Supports, protects, provides framework (1)
Function of bone
Supports, protects, absorbs shock
Function of blood
Transports substances, helps maintain stable internal environment
Location of hyaline cartilage
Ends of bones, nose, rings in the walls of respiratory passages
Location of elastic cartilage
Framework of external ear and parts of larynx
Location of fibrocartilage
Between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee
Location of bone
Bones of skeleton
Location of blood
Throughout body within a closed system of blood vessels and heart chambers
Characteristics of hyaline cartilage
Fine collagen fibers in matrix; seems glossy, most commom type of cartilage
Characteristics of elastic cartilage
Contains elastic fibers in dense network; flexible
Characteristics of fibrocartilage
Tough tissue with many collagenous fibers
Three types of muscle tissues
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
Squamous
Thin and flattened
Cuboidal
Cube-shaped
Columnar
Tall and elongated
Simple
1 layer
Stratified
2 or more layers
Characteristic for reticular connective tissue
Contains thin, reticular fibers, the fibers form 3-D network
Function of skeletal muscle tissue
Voluntary movements of skeletal parts
Function of smooth muscle tissue
Involuntary movements of internal organs
Function of cardiac muscle tissues
Contraction for heart beats
Location of skeletal muscle tissue
Muscles usually attached to bones
Location of smooth muscle tissue
Walls of hollow internal organs
Location of cardiac muscle tissue
Heart muscle
Characteristic of skeletal muscle tissue
Striated, cells (fibers) are long and cylindrical, has many nuclei
Characteristics of smooth muscle tissue
Lacks striations, cells are spindle-shaped, 1 central nucleus
Characteristics of cardiac muscle tissue
Has branching cells (fibers), each with single nucleus, striated, cells connected by intercalated discs, cells form branching networks
Neurons, or nerve cells
Cells that respond to certain environmental stimuli/changes, by creating electrical impulses to other neurons, muscles, and glands
Characteristics of neurons (nerve cells)
Has a soma, dendrites, and axons
Neuroglia (nerve glue)
Cells that support, nourish, and communicate with neurons, but doesn’t conduct impulses, binds nervous tissue together, and conduct phagocytosis
