Tissues

Front 1

Areolar

Back 1

under the epithelia of the body; packages organs, surrounds capillaries

function: wraps and cushions organs, holds tissue fluid

Front 2

adipose

Back 2

under skin, around the kidneys and eyeballs, within the abdomen; breasts

function: provides reserve food fuel insulates against heat loss, supports protective organs

Front 3

reticular

Back 3

lymphoid organs (bone marrow and spleen)

function: supports other cell types

Front 4

dense regular

Back 4

tendons, most ligaments

function: attaches muscle to bones or to muscle; attaches bone to bone; withstands great tensile stress

Front 5

dense irregular

Back 5

dermis of the skin, submucosa of the digestive tract, fibrous capsules of organs and joints

function: able to withstand tension exerted in many directions

Front 6

Hyaline

Back 6

forms the embryonic skeleton, forms costal cartilages of the ribs, covers the end of long bones, cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx

function: supports and reinforces; has resilient cushioning properties; resists stress

Front 7

elastic cartilage

Back 7

external ear

function: to maintain shape and structure with flexibility

Front 8

fibrocartilage

Back 8

intervertebral discs, discs of knee joint

function: tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock

Front 9

simple squamous

Back 9

kidney, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, linings of ventral body cavities

fuction: allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration where protection is not important

Front 10

simple cuboidal

Back 10

kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, ovary surface.

function: secretion and absorption

Front 11

simple columnar

Back 11

lines digestive tract, gall bladder, & excretory ducts of some glands

function: absorption and secretion of mucus

Front 12

pseudostratified columnar

Back 12

in: upper respiratory tract

secretion, propulsion of mucus

Front 13

stratified squamous

Back 13

linings of the esophagus, mouth and vagina, in the skin

function: protect underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion

Front 14

transitional epithelieum

Back 14

bladder

function: stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine

Front 15

Back 19

in lacuna

Front 20
