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
