what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

simple squamous epithelium

what is the main function of simple squamous epithelia

diffusion and filtration of materials, secretes lubricating substances

where are some common places to find simple squamous epithelia

air sacs of lungs, kidney glomeruli, lining of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, etc.

what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

simple cuboidal epithelium

what is the function of simple cuboidal epithelium

secretion and absorption

where are common places to find simple cuboidal epithelia

what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

simple columnar

what are the two types of simple columnar epithelia

nonciliated and ciliated

what is the function of simple columnar epithelium

absorption, secretion of mucus, etc. the ciliated type propels mucus around

where would you find ciliated columnar epithelia

bronchi, uterine tubes and some regions of the uterus

where would you find non ciliated columnar epithelia

lines most of the digestive tract, gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands

what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

stratified squamous epithelium, non keratinized

what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

stratified squamous epithelium, keratinized

what is the function of stratified squamous epithelium

protecting underlying tissues

where would you find nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelia

forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vag***

where would you find keratinized stratified squamous epithelia

forms the epidermis of the skin

what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

what is the function of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

secretion of mucus, propulsion of mucus by cilia

where would you find pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

ciliated type lines the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract

what kind of tissue is this (subtype and type)

transitional epithelium

what is the function of transitional epithelium

stretches and permits distension of certain hollow organs

where would you find transitional epithelium

lines the urinary system

what type of tissue is this (type and subtype)

areolar connective tissue

what is the function of areolar connective tissue

wraps and cushions organs, plays important role in inflammation

where would you find areolar connective tissue

widely distributed around the body

what type of tissue is this (subtype and type)

adipose connective tissue

what is the function of adipose tissue

reserves food fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs

where would you find adipose tissue

under the skin in the subcutaneous layer, around the kidneys and eyeballs, and around places that need to be protected

what kind of tissue is this (subtype and type)

reticular connective tissue

what is the function of reticular connective tissue

forms the internal support framework for soft organs and supports other cell types like blood

where would you find reticular connective tissue

lymphoid organs

what kind of tissue is this (type and subtype)

dense regular connective tissue

what is the function of dense regular connective tissue

attaches muscles to bones or other muscles, withstands great tensile stress from ONE DIRECTION

where would you find dense regular connective tissue

tendons and ligaments

what kind of tissue is this (type and subtype)

dense irregular elastic tissue

what is the function of dense irregular elastic tissue

allows for recoil of tissue following stretching

where would you find dense irregular elastic tissue

walls of large arteries, walls of the bronchial tubes

what kind of tissue is this (type and subtype)

fluid connective tissue (blood)

what is the function of fluid connective tissue

transport respiratory gases, nutrients, and waste

where would you find fluid connective tissue

in blood vessels

what kind of tissue is this (type and subtype)

hyaline cartilage, connective tissue type

what is the function of hyaline cartilage

supports and reinforces, has resilient cushioning properties, resists compressive stress

where would you find hyaline cartilage

forms most of the embryonic skeleton, covers end of long bones in joint cavities, forms costal cartilages of the ribs, and is the cartilage that makes up the nose, trachea, and larynx.

what kind of tissue is this (type and subtype)

elastic cartilage, connective tissue

what is the function of elastic cartilage

maintains the shape of the structure while allowing great flexibility

where would you find elastic cartilage

supports the external ear (pinna) epiglottis

what kind of tissue (subtype and type)

fibrocartilage, connective tissue

what is the function of fibrocartilage

tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock

where would you find fibrocartilage

intervertebral discs, discs of knee joint

what kind of tissue is this (subtype and type)

skeletal muscle tissue

what kind of tissue is this (subtype and type)

cardiac muscle tissue

what kind of tissue is this

smooth muscle tissue

what kind of tissue is this

nervous tissue

what structure is this and where is it from

osteon, in bones

what structure is this

haversian canals

what are the four layers of the epidermis we talk about

• stratum corneum

• stratum granulosum

• stratum spinosum

• stratum basale

what is the type of epidermis only found in thick skin

stratum lucidum

what is the acronym for the 4 layers of normal epidermis layers

cohn’s grubby spider basement
