functions and locations of tissues

simple columnar epithelium

secretion and absorption

Pseudostratified cilated columnar

secretion (of mucus), bear cilia

Stratified squamous epithelium

protection and resistance against friction

Adipose tissue

store triglycerides for energy, protect/support organs, insulation

Areolar connective tissue

support, strength, elasticity

Dense Irregular connective tissue

strength

Dense Regular Connective tissue

strength

Hyaline Cartilage

resists stress

Smooth Muscle

involuntarily contracts blood vessels, airways, and organs (of GI tract)

Cardiac Muscle

involuntarily contracts the heart; pumps blood through vessels

Nervous tissue

nerve impulses( electrical signals); neuroglia support neurons

Blood

RBC’s carry O2; WBC’s fight infection; platelets help blood clot

Simple columnar epithelium

lines GI tract

Pseudostratified cilated columnar

lines most of upper respiratory tract

Stratified squamous epithelium

superficial layer of skin; lining of mouth, esophagus, and vagina; surface of tongue

Adipose tissue

yellow bone marrrow

Areolar connective tissue

around blood vessels, nerves, and organs

Dense Irregular connective tissue

pericardium of heart; joint capsules

Dense Regular Connective tissue

tendons, aponeuroses, and ligaments

Hyaline Cartilage

covers ends of long bones; found in nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi

Smooth Muscle

walls of blood vessels and abdominal organs

Cardiac Muscle

heart muscle (myocardium)

Nervous tissue

brain, and spinal cord

Blood

Within blood vessels
