Simple columnar function

Absorption, secretion

Transitional location

Lining of ureters, lining of bladder, lining of urethra

Transitional function

Ability to distend

PSCCE (pseudostratified ciliated columnat epithelium) location

Lines trachea, lines most of the upper respiratory tract

PSCCE (pseudostratified ciliated columnat epithelium) function

Movement of mucus via ciliary action, secretion

Areolar Location

Underlies lining epithelial, surrounds capillaries, surrounds organs

Areolar function

Conveys fluid, holds fluid, cushions organs, phagocytosis (because of macrophages and leukocytes), important in inflammation (because of mast cells)

Adipose Location

Hypodermis, breasts, around heart, around kidneys, around eyeballs, in abdomen

Adipose Function

Protection, insulation, energy storage

Reticular Location

Lymph nodes, spleen

Reticular Function

Body defense, provides an internal network that supports cells

Dense regular location

Ligaments, tendons, aponeurosis (flat tendons)

Dense regular function

Provides tensile strength in a single direction (resists tension in a single direction)

Dense irregular location

Dermis, submucose of digestive tract, joint capsules

Dense irregular function

Provides tensile strength in different directions (resists tension in different directions)

Elastic tissue location

Wall of the aorta, wall of arteries, vocal cords

Elastic tissue function

Stretch and recoil

Hyaline cartilage location

Tip of nose, articular cartilage, tracheal cartilages, epiphyseal plate, costal cartilages, embryonic skeleton

Hyaline cartilage function

provides support, resiliency

Elastic cartilage location

Epliglottis, ear

Elastic cartilage function

Structural support, flexibility

Fibrocartilage location

Intervertebral discs, menisci (of knee), pubic symphysis

Fibrocartilage function

Shock absorption (absorbs compressive shock)

Bone (compact) location

bones

Bones (compact) function

Protection, structural support, movement, mineral storage, hematopoiesis, lipid storage

Blood Location

Blood vessels, heart chambers

Blood function

Transport, body defense, blood clot formation (many more functions)
