What are the four major types of tissue?

Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

Function of Epithelial Tissue

Covers & protects body surface, lines body cavities, specializes in moving substances into/out of blood, and forms many glands

Function of Connective Tissue

supports body,connects & holds body together, transports substances through the body

Function of Muscle Tissue

produces movement

Function of Nervous Tissue

communication between various parts of the body and integration of their activities

Epithelial Cell type: Squamous

thin, flat cells that look like fish scales

Epithelial Cell type: Cuboidal

cube-shaped cells, have more cytoplasm

Columnar Cell type: Columnar

basement cells of body, long and structural

Cellular Organization: Simple

only has one layer

Cellular Organization: Stratified

has multiple layers

Cellular Organization: Pseudostratified

has appearance of layering but is only one layer

Simple Squamous (Location)

air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels

Simple Cuboidal (Location)

in ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules

Simple Columnar (Location)

ciliated: bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus


smooth: digestive tract, bladder

Pseudostratified Columnar (Location)

lines the trachea and much of the respiratory tract (ciliated)

Stratified Squamous (Location)

esophagus, mouth, vagina

Transitional (Location)

lines the bladder, urethra, and the ureters

Simple Squamous (Function)

Filtration, diffusion, osmosis

Simple Cuboidal (Function)

Secretion and absorption

Simple Columnar (Function)

Absorption and secretion

Pseudostratified Columnar (function)

Secretion and movement of mucous by ciliary action

Stratified Squamous (function)

protection

Transitional (function)

permits distention

5 Basic Types of Connective Tissue

fibrous connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, osseous tissue, blood

Areolar Connective

(location) between other tissues and organs


(description) widely distributed, serve as universal packing material, support + binding of other tissues

Reticular Connective

(location) inner framework of spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow filtration


(description) similar to areolar, but only fibers are reticular fibers limited to inner frameworks

Dense (Regular) Connective

(location) tendons, ligaments


(description) closely packed bundles of collagen fibers running in the same direction

Dense (Irregular) Connective

(location) deep fascia, dermis, scars, capsule of kidney


(description) same as regular but collagen fibers are thicker and arranged irregularly

Elastic Cartilage

(location) external ear


(description) elastic in nature to allow stretching

Adipose Tissue

(location) under skin, various padding at different points

Hyaline Cartilage

(location) part of nasal septum, articular surfaces of bone, larynx, rings in trachea + bronchi


(description) most abundant cartilage, provides good shock absorption

Fibrocartilage

(locations) disks between vertebrae


(description) blend of hyaline and dense regular compressible, resists tension well

3 General Muscle Cell Types

Skeletal, cardiac, smooth

Striated Muscle Cells

Skeletal, cardiac

Nonstriated Muscle Cells

smooth

Voluntary Muscle Cells

Skeletal

Involuntary muscle cells

Cardiac and Smooth

Skeletal Muscle location

attached to bones, attached to facial skin

Cardiac muscle location

walls of the heart

Smooth muscle location

walls of hallow internal structures; blood vessels, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder, airways
