|
Reduces friction; controls vessel permeability; performs absorption and scretion |
Simple squamous epithelium |
|
|
Provides physical protection against abrasion, pathogens, and chemical attack |
Stratified squamous epithelium |
|
|
Limited protection, secretion, absorption |
simple cuboidal epithelium |
|
|
permits expansion and recoil after stretching |
Transitional epithelium |
|
|
protection, secretion, absorption |
simple columnar epithelium (also stratified cuboidal epithelium) |
|
|
protection, secretion, move mucus with cilia |
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium |
|
|
protection |
stratified columnar epithelium |
|
|
gives rise to all other connective tissue |
mesenchyme |
|
|
cushions organs; provides support but permits independent movement; phagocytic cells provide defense against pathogens |
Areolar |
|
|
Provides padding and cushions shocks;insulates (reduces heat loss); stores energy |
Adipose tissue |
|
|
provides supporting framework |
Reticular tissue |
|
|
Provides strength to resist forces from many directions; helps prevent overexpansion of organs, such as the urinary bladder |
dense irregular connective tissue |
|
|
stabilizes positions of vertebrae and penis; cushions shocks; permits expansion and contraction of organs |
Elastic tissue |
|
|
resists compression prevents bone to bone contact; limits movement |
fibrocartilage |
|
|
movement or stabilizes the position of skeleton; guards entrances and exits to the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts; generates heat; protects internal organs |
skeletal muscle tissue |
|
|
circulates blood; maintains blood pressure |
Cardiac muscle tissue |
|
|
moves food, urine and reproductive tract secretions; controls diameter of respiratory passageways; regulates diameter of blood vessels |
Smooth Muscle Tissue |
|
|
protection, secretion, absorption |
stratified cuboidal epithelium (also simple columnar) |
|
|
Provides support, tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape |
Elastic cartilage |
|
|
Somewhat flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces |
Hyaline Cartilage |
