|
Cardiac muscle location: walls of the heart function: contracts to move blood through the body |
|
|
Smooth muscle location: walls of hollow organs (blood vessels, intestine, uterus) function: contracts to propel substances through hollow tubes |
|
|
Skeletal muscle location: attached to bones function: contracts to move bony levers, alter facial expression, heat body to optimal temperature |
|
|
Nervous tissue (neuron) location: brain, spinal cord, nerves function: body sensors and controllers; receive stimuli and send impulses in reaction |
|
|
Areolar (Connective tissue) location: "packages" and protects organs, surrounds capillaries function: provides a reservoir for interstitial fluid and fat storage. *contains all three fiber types (collagen, elastic, and reticular) |
|
ID 3 different types of cells, with a function for each |
Red Blood cells (light pink) function: carry oxygen and carbon dioxide
White Blood cell (large purple in center) function: kill infections and cancer cells, clean up debris and waste
Platelets (tiny purple dots) function: produce blood clots |
|
|
Bone location: bony skeleton function: support and protect organs, provide levers for muscles to act on, store minerals and fats, site for hematopoiesis (red blood cell formation in marrow) |
|
|
Dense Irregular connective location: dermis of skin, fibrous capsules of organs and joints, submucosa of digestive tract function: withstands tension exerted in multiple directions |
|
|
Dense Regular connective location: ligaments, tendons function: attaches muscles to bones, or bones to bones. Withstands high stress when force is applied in one direction |
|
|
Blood location: blood vessels throughout body function: transports nutrients and cells throughout body, carries away wastes |
|
|
Hyaline Cartilage location: ends of bones, nose, trachea, larynx function: supports and reinforces, resists compression |
|
ID the upper layers |
Keratinized Stratified Squamous location: skin function: keratin provides waterproofing, stratified epithelium provides protection in areas with high risk of abrasion |
|
|
Simple Squamous location: glomeruli of kidneys, alveoli of lungs funtion: (in kidney) filter blood to control blood solute content; (in lung) rapid diffusion/exchange of gases |
|
|
Reticular location: lymphatic tissues (spleen, lymph nodes) function: provides a support for immune cells to attach |
|
|
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar location: trachea function: secretes mucus to trap particulate matter, use cilia to sweep matter away from lungs |
|
|
Simple cuboidal location: kidney tubules function: secrete wastes into urine, reabsorb nutrients into blood |
|
|
Simple columnar location: digestive tract function: absorption of nutrients, secrete mucus and digestive enzymes |
