Bone
Skeleton
Support, protection, attachment sites for muscle, mineral storage
Osteocytes occupy lacunae, compact bone has osteons w/central canals, lamellae, and canaliculi.
Connective tissue
Fibrocartilage
intervertebral disks, menisci of knee joints.
Support w/increased strength and durability.
Connective tissue
Elastic Cartilage
External ears and part of larynx.
Support with elasticity.
Connective tissue
Blood
Cardiovascular system.
Transport, protection from infection, prevention of blood loss.
Formed elements (cells) in plasma (matrix).
Connective tissue
Areolar
Below skin and below basement membrane of most epithelia.
Binds structures together.
Connective tissue
Elastic Connective
Walls of larger arteries, heart chambers, larger airways, and between vertebrae.
Provides strength and elasticity.
Connective tissue.
Reticular Connective
Liver, Spleen, lymph nodes.
Structural Support
Connective tissue
Dense Connective
Regular: tendons, ligaments.
Irregular: dermis of the skin.
Provides strength.
Regular is very slow to heal because it is non-vascular.
Connective tissue
Adipose
Beneath skin, between muscles, around kidneys and heart, behind eyes, in abdominal membrane.
Adipocytes accumulate triglycerides for energy storage, insulation, and protection.
Connective tissue.
Hyaline Cartilage
Ends of bones, tracheal rings, bone models in fetus and child.
Support, bone development.
Of all cartilages, condricytes occupy lacunae, tissue is non-vascular but surrounded by vascular perichondrium.
Connective tissue
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Covers ovaries, lines kidney tubules, and ducts of many glands.
Absorption, secretion, excretion.
Epithelial Tissue
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Surface of the skin, linings of oral cavity, vagina, anal canal, and part of the pharynx.
Protection.
May be keratinizing or non-keratinizing.
Epithelium tissue
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Lines alveoli, forms capillary walls, lines blood and lymph vessels, covers body cavity membranes.
Diffusion, Filtration, Decreases friction.
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
Lining of larger ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas.
Protection, secretion.
Transitional Epithelium
Lining of urinary bladder, ureters, and part of urethra.
Protection, distension.
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Lines uterus, stomach, intestines, uterine tubes.
Secretion, protection, absorption, production of movement.
Many have cillia for movement or microvilli for absorption (brush border), and mucus secreting goblet cells.
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Lining vas deferens, part of male urethra, part of pharynx.
Protection, secretion
Psuedostratified Columnar Epithelium
Lines respitory passages.
Protection, secretion, production of movement.
May be ciliated with mucus secreting goblet cells.
