|
Stratified Squamous Epithelium - line the esophagus, mouth, vagina and anus. Skin is also composed of these cells. |
|
|
Blood - found blood vessels. Contains: Erythrocytes aka Red Blood Cells and Leucocytes aka White Blood Cells. Function: transport nutrients, waste and respiratory gasses |
|
|
Hyaline Cartilage - Connects sternum and ribs, makes up "c" rings of esophagus, at the end of long bones and in the nose and chin. Contains: Chondrocytes (found in Lacunae) which secretes gel like substance called Extracellular Matrix (ECM). The ECM makes up the majority of cartilage. Function: Reduces friction and protects bones. |
|
|
Osseous Tissue aka Bone - found in the skeleton (bones) of the body. Contains: Immature bone cells aka Osteoblasts which develop bone and Osteocytes (found in Lacunae within bone/collagen matrix) which maintain bone. Concentric rings surround the central canal where nutrients and waste are transported. Function: provide structure and protection |
|
|
Adipose Tissue aka Fat - found around Kidneys, behind eyeballs and fat deposit sites like the abdomen and hips. Contains: triglycerides used for energy storage Function: Shock absorber, insulation and energy storage |
|
|
Smooth Muscle Tissue (involuntary) - found hollow organs (other than the heart) that change shape regularly. Contains: contractive proteins Actin and Myosin Function: contracts and twists to move material inside organ. |
|
|
Cardiac Muscle Tissue (involuntary) - found in the heart specifically Myocardium Contains: Contractive proteins Actin and Myosin, specialized plasma membrane protein called an intercalated disc. Function: contract as a unit which helps move blood through the blood vessels of the body. |
|
|
Skeletal Muscle Tissue (voluntary) - attached to skeleton. Contains: Bands made of Contractive proteins Actin and Myosin. Function: expands and contracts to control body movement. |
