Tissues And Type/location/function

Front 1

Adipose

Back 1

Connective

location: found in various places throughout the body

function: provides insulation, protections of organs, and stores lipids for energy

Front 2

Areolar

Back 2

Connective

location: combined with adipose, areolar connective tissue forms the subcutaneous layer--the layer of tissue tissue that attaches the skin to underlying tissues and organs

function: helps provide cushioning to portect and attach tissues and organs

Front 3

reticular (lymph node)

Back 3

connective

location: found in lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen

function: has fibers that form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types

Front 4

dense regular (white fibrosis tissue: tendon)

Back 4

connective

location: found in tendons (which connect muscle to bone) and ligaments (which connect bone to bone)

function: able to withstand great pulling forces in the direction of fiber orientation

Front 5

hyaline cartilage

Back 5

connective

location: found on the articular surfaces of bones (where bones contact other bones; also found in the trachea, where it provides flexible support

function: reduces friction to provide for smooth movement of joints; provides flexible support

Front 6

compact ground bone

Back 6

connective

location: found in bones throughout the body

function: provides support and attachment for muscles, which provide movement of the body

Front 7

elastic cartilage

Back 7

connective

location: lid on top of epigolttis (larynx), external ear, and Eustachian tubes (connects inner ear to throat)

function: gives support and maintains shape; maintains structure of the ear

Front 8

dense irregular (human scalp)

Back 8

connective

location: tissue beneath skin (dermis) and around muscles and other organs

function: provides strength

Front 9

mesenchyme

Back 9

connective

location: under skin and along developing bones of embryos; some mesenchymal cells are found in adult connective tissues, especially along blood vessels

function: forms all other kinds of connective tissue

Front 10

blood, human

Back 10

connective

location: found within the heart and blood vessels

function: red blood cells transport oxygen; plasma is important in transport of nutrients and wastes; immune system includes white blood cells and antibodies; platelets are involved in blood clotting

Front 11

white fibrocartilage

Back 11

connective

location: inter vertebral discs (discs between vertebrae), cartilage pads of knees

function: provides strength and rigidity and is the strongest of the 3 types of cartilage

Front 12

Cubodial Epithelium

Back 12

Epithelial

location: found in various glands, ducts, kidney tubules, etc.

function: secretion/absorption

Front 13

Columnar epithelium

Back 13

Epithelial

location: found in the stomach, intestine, collecting ducts of kidneys, and the Fallopian tubes

function: absorption/secretion; cilia on these cells help move the egg from the ovary to the uterus

Front 14

Simple Squamous (lung tissue)

Back 14

Epithelial

location: found in the inner lining of capillaries and inner lining of lung alveoli

function: the thin layer of cells allows for exchange of materials by diffusion

Front 15

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Back 15

Epithelial

location: found in the skin, mouth, throat, esophagus, anus, vagina, and cornea

function: protects underlying areas from abrasion, water loss, and infection

Front 16

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Back 16

Epithelial

location: found in much of the respiratory tract, including the nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi

function: secretion and protects the body

Front 17

transitional epithelium

Back 17

Epithelial

location: lines the inner surface of the bladder and uterus

function: has the ability to stretch as the bladder fills with urine

Front 18

skeletal (striated)

Back 18

muscle

location: found in muscles that attach to bones

function: provides movement under voluntary control

Front 19

smooth muscle

Back 19

muscle

location: found in the walls of hollow internal organs and blood vessels

function: contraction of smooth muscle helps move materials through an organ or blood vessel (involuntary control)

Front 20

cardiac muscle

Back 20

muscle

location: located in the muscular walls of the heart

function: provides movement that leads to the pumping of blood through the circulatory system (involuntary control)

Front 21

giant multipolar neuron

Back 21

nerve

location: the cell bodies are located in the brain and spinal cord and the axons can extend throughout the body in nerves

function: neurons carry transmit signals (nerve impulses) back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body
