Simple squamous epithelium
Tissue has identifiable cells, has a single layer, cells appear tile-like Function: Allows diffusion and filtration Found: Lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels |
|
()
|
Stratified squamous epithelium
Function: Protection through ablation Found: Epidermis |
|
|
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Tissue has identifiable cells, has a single layer, cells appear cube-like Function: Secretion and aborbtion Found: Kidney tubules, ovary surface |
|
|
Simple columnar epithelium
Tissue has identifiable cells, has a single layer, cells appear taller than wide, with nuclei shifted toward the bottom of the cell Function: Absorbtion, secretion of mucus Found: Digestive tract, uterus |
|
|
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Tissue has identifiable cells, has a single layer, but nuclei appear at different levels and one surface is cilliated Function: Secretion, particularly of mucous Found: lines trachea and most of upper respiratory tract |
|
|
Transitional epithelium
Function: Stretches and allows distension Found: Lines ureters and bladder |
|
|
Aerolar connective tissue
Individual fibers can be seen Function: Wraps and cushions organs, holds and conveys tissue fluid Found: Packages organs, surrounds capilaries |
|
|
Reticular connective tissue
Fibers can be seen, in a sticky bush configuration Function: Fibers form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types. Found: Lymphoid organs |
|
|
Adipose tissue
Large clear pockets are seen Function: Reserve food fuel, insulates against heat loss Found: Under skin, around kidneys, in abdomen and breasts |
|
|
Dense regular connective tissue
Fibers are visible, dense, and parallel, cell nuclei are visible along a line Function: Attaches muscles to bones Found: Tendons, ligaments |
|
|
Dense irregular connective tissue
Fibers are visible, dense, but not parallel Function: Provides structural support Found: Dermis, capsules of joints |
|
|
Hyaline cartilage
Tissue has visible lacunae, but individual fibers are not identifiable Function: Supports and re-enforces, cushions Found: Cartilages of nose, trachea, and larynx, covers ends of long bones and joint cavities |
|
|
Elastic cartilage
Tissue has visible lacunae, fibers appear sticky and bush-like Function: Maintains shape of structure while retaining flexibility Found: Ear, Epiglottis |
|
|
Fibrocartilage
Tissue has visible lacunae, fibers are many Function: Tensile strength with the ability to withstand compressive shock Found: Intervertebral discs, pubic symphasis |
|
|
Bone
|
|
|
Skeletal muscle
Tissue is striated, long tubes with multiple nuclei are visible Function: Movement, locomotion Found: in skeletal muscles attached to bone |
|
|
Cardiac muscle
Tissue is striated, single nuclei per cell is visible, intercalated discs may be present |
|
|
Smooth muscle
Tissue is not striated, has an elongated, spindle-shaped nucleus, and may be branched Function: Propels substances or objects Found: In the walls of hollow organs |
