Chapter Four: Types of Tissues, Functions, and Locations

Bone: Function

support the body and protect vital organs; provide attachments for muscle to form level system for movement; stores calcium compounds and fat. Marrow produces all blood cell types

Bone: Location

Bones

Smooth Muscle: Fuction

Contraction of muscles

Smooth Muscle: Location

Visceral:Walls of hollow organs

multi unit: walls of large arteries, trachea muscles in iris and cilliary, body of the eye arrector pilling muscles, which attach to hair follicles

Cardiac muscle: Function

Contraction of muscles

Cardiac muscle: Location

Heart

Types of muscle tissue

Smooth, cardiac, skeletal

Types of excitable tissue

Nervous and muscle

Fluid connective tissue: Blood and lymph

Transport cells and dissolved matter from place to place

Plasma

Blood liquid ground substance

Fibrocartilage

Contains large coarse bundles of collagen fibers

fibrocartilage: Function

Resist compression and absorb shock

Fibrocartilage: Location

Pubic symphysis, menisci, And intervertebral discs

Elastic cartilage

Cartilage containing abundance of elastic fibers

Elastic cartilage: Function

Provides flexible, elastic support

Elastic cartilage: Location

External ear and epiglottis

Hyaline cartilage

Clear glass appearance because of fineness of collagen fibers

Hyaline Cartilage: Function

Ease his joint movement holds, airways, open moves, vocal cords, growth of juvenile, long bones

Hyaline cartilage: Location

Articulated cartilage, coastal cartilage, trachea, larynx fetal skeleton

Supportive, connective, tissue cartilage types

Hyaline Elastic fibrocartilage

Supportive connective tissue: Cartilage

Contains no blood vessels or nerves, avascular, surrounded by perichondrium

Connective tissue proper: dense, dense irregular: function

Withstand great tensile stress: multiple directions

Connective tissue proper: dense, dense irregular: location

Joint capsules, dermis of skin

Connective tissue proper: dense, dense regular: function

Withstand great tensile stress

Connective tissue proper: dense, dense regular: location

Tendons, most ligaments

Connective tissue proper: loose, reticularr: function

Fibers form soft internal skeleton (stroke) that supports organs

Connective tissue proper: loose, reticular: location

Lymphoid organ (lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen)

Connective tissue proper: loose, adipose: function

Protects, stores energy and insulates

Connective tissue proper: loose adipose: location

Subcutaneous layer; surrounding the kidney and other organs

Connective tissue proper: loose, areolar: function

Binds and packs around organs

Connective tissue proper: loose, areolar: location

Subcutaneous layer; surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and individual muscle cells

Connective Tissues

Collagen is main protein, usually high vascular and supplied with many nerves

Connective tissues are made from

Noliving Extracellular matrix, scattered living cells that secrete the matrix

Transitional: function

Stretch and recoil

Transitional: location

Urinary bladder, ureter

Stratified cubodial epithelium

Two or more layers of cube shaped cells

Stratified cubodial epithelium: location

Sweat gland, part of urethra

Stratified squamous: function

Protection

Stratified squamous: location

Lining of mouth or any body opening

Pseudostratified Columnar

Looks multilayered but all cells touch basement membrane attach

Pseudostratified Columnar: function

Secretion and propulsion

Pseudostratified Columnar: location

Respiratory tract

Simple columnar epithelium: function

Secretion and absorption
