serous membrane
a layer of simple squamous epithelium, moist membranes found in
closed ventral body cavities, visceral directly around organ and parietal around organ cavity

mucous membrane
epithelial cells resting on a layer of loose areolar connective tissue, line of the body cavities opening to the body exterior

cutaneous membrane
skin

synovial membrane
entirely of connective tissue, NO epithelial cells, lines the cavities surrounding the joints, provides a smooth surface and lubricating fluid

simple squamous epithelium
air sacs of lung, filtration/diffusion

simple cuboidal epithelium
kidney tubules, secretion/absorption

simple columnar epithelium
digestive tract, secretion/absorption

stratified squamous epithelium
epidermis of the skin, protection against abrasion

stratified cuboidal epithelium
ducts of sweat glands, protection + limited secretion/absorption

stratified columnar epithelium
mucous membrane lining the eyelids, protection & secretion

pseudostratified columnar epithelium
trachea, secretion & mucus propulsion

transitional epithelium
urinary bladder lumen, stretching + distention

glandular epithelium
endo and exocrine glands, synthesis + secretion of products

areolar connective tissue
under epithelia of the body, strength + elasticity + support

adipose connective tissue
around heart/kidneys, energy reserve/insulation

reticular connective tissue
spleen, supportive structural framework (stroma)

dense regular connective tissue
tendons/most ligaments, attaches muscles to bones/muscles

dense irregular connective tissue
dermis (reticular) layer of skin, provides tensile strength in multiple directions

elastic connective tissue

blood
blood vessels, transport of respiratory gases

hyaline cartilage
costal cartilages of the ribs, resists compressive stress

elastic cartilage
external ear, maintains shape while allowing flexibility

fibrocartilage
intervertebral discs, absorbs compressive shock.

bone tissue
all bones, support/protect body

skeletal muscle tissue
attached to bones via tendons, body motion/voluntary movement

cardiac muscle tissue
heart walls, pumps blood into circulation

smooth muscle tissue
walls of hollow organs, propels substances along internal passageways

nervous tissue
brain/spinal cord, generates and transmits electrical impulses

stratum corneum
outermost layer of the epidermis, 20-30 layers of dead membranous sacs

stratum lucidum

stratum granulosum
thin border layer, flattened cells with deteriorating organelles

stratum spinosum
structural support, think bundles of intermediate pre-keratin filaments

stratum basale
produces new keratinocytes via mitosis, single row of actively dividing stem cells attached → dermis

cilia

striations

intercalated discs

central canal

lacunae

layers of skin
