Epithelial Tissue

Closely packed cells, little extracellular space, basement membrane, found on skin surface, digestive tract lining, glands

Connective Tissue

Cells within extracellular matrix found in bones, blood, fat, tendons, cartilage

Muscular tissue

Contractile cells that generate force found in skeletal muscles, heart, walls of hollow organs

Nervous Tissues

Neurons and supporting neuroglia found in brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves

Simple squamous epithelium

Diffusion and filtration found in lungs and blood vessels

Simple cubodial epithelium

Absorption and secretion found in kidney tubules and small gland ducts

Simple columnar epithelium

Absorption and secretion found in stomach and intestines

Ciliated simple columnar epithelium

Moves substances found in smaller airways

Nonciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Absorption and secretion found in epididymis and some gland ducts

Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Mucus production and movement and found in most upper respiratory tract

Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium

Protection from abrasion, water loss and invasion and found in epidermis of skin

Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

Protection of moist surfaces found in mouth and esophagus

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Protection and limited secretion found in sweat gland ducts

Stratified columnar epithelium

Protection and secretion and found in parts of the urethra and certain gland ducts

Transitional Epithelium

Stretching and protection found in urinary bladder

Areolar

Loose connective tissue that wraps and cushions organs; holds tissue fluid

Adipose tissue

Loose connective tissue that stores energy, insulates, and cushions

Reticular tissue

Loose connective tissue that forms supportive networks in certain organs

Dense regular tissue

Dense connective tissue that are tendons and ligaments that resists pulling in one direction

Dense irregular tissue

Dense connective tissue that is dermis; resists stress in multiple directions

Elastic connective tissue

Dense connective tissue that allows stretch and recoil in certain structures

Hyaline cartilage

Supporting connective tissue that is support, flexible, smooth joint surface

Fibrocartilage

Supporting connective tissue that is strong support and resistance to compression

Elastic cartilage

Supporting connective tisssue that is flexible support

Compact and spongy bone

Supporting connective tissue that is support, protection, mineral storage, and blood cell formation

Blood

Liquid connective tissue that is transport, and immune defense, and clots
