ID Tissues

single layer of flattened cells

simple squamous epithelium

single layer of cube shaped cells

simple cuboidal epithelium

made up of a single layer of tall cells that fit closely together

simple columnar epithelium

tissue that consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and sized cells that give the appearance of multiple layers

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

2 or more layers of flat cells

stratified squamous epithelium

tissue that consists of two or more layers of cube-shaped cells

stratified cuboidal epithelium

2 or more layers of elongated cells

stratified columnar epithelium

Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart

(branches out)

cardiac muscle

involuntary muscle found in internal organs

(spindle shaped)

smooth muscle

A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the force that moves the bones

(striated/has stripes)

skeletal muscle

surrounds various organs and supports both nerve cells and blood vessels

(contains white and yellow fibers)

loose connective (tissue)

tissue that stores fat

(think bubbles)

adipose (tissue)

tendons and ligaments

(parallel bundles)

dense connective (tissue)

Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and nose

(contains collagen fibers and chondrocytes)

hyaline cartilage

cartilage with abundant elastic fibers; more flexible than hyaline cartilage

(elastic and collagenous fibers)

elastic cartilage

cartilage that contains fibrous bundles of collagen

(between vertebrae)

Fibrocartilage

Dense, hard connective tissue composing the skeleton

(cylindrical shaped units called osteons)

bone

A connective tissue with a fluid matrix called plasma in which red blood cells, white blood cells, and cell fragments called platelets are suspended

(liquid-plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets)

blood

changes in response to tension, found in organs that expand like the urinary bladder

(different layers of cells)

transitional epithelium

brain, spinal cord, nerves

nervous
