|
Simple Squamous Epithelium |
Location: Alveoli of lungs Function: Reduces friction, controls vessel permeability, performs absorption and secretion |
|
|
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium |
Location: Thyroid gland Function: Limites protection, sécrétion, absorption |
|
|
Simple Columnar Epithelium |
Location: Gall Bladder Function: Protection, secretion, absorption |
|
|
Stratified Squamous Epithelium |
Location: Keratinized ( Skin ) Non-keratinized ( Vaginal wall, Esophagus) Function: Provides physical protection against abrasion, pathogens, and chemical attacks |
|
|
Transitional Epithelium |
Location: Urinary Bladder ( Ureter ) Function: Permits expansion and recoil after stretching |
|
|
Pseudo-stratified Ciliated Columnar ( Epi ) |
Location: Lung or Trachea Function: Protection secretion, move mucus with cilia |
|
|
Areolar ( Loose ) Connective Tissue Location: Binds skin to the muscles beneathFunction: Support, strength, elasticity |
* Collagen Fibers * Elastic Fibers * Plasma cells - Secrete antibodies * Adipocytes - Storing energy * Macrophage - Engulf & digest cellular debris * Fibroblasts - a cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen * Mast Cells - Wound healing & defense against pathogens |
|
|
Adipose Connective Tissue |
Location: Ureter, skin Function: Provides padding & cushion shocks, insulates ( reduces heat loss ), stores energy * Adipocytes - Are metabolically active cells, their lipids are constantly being broken down and replaced |
|
|
Dense Regular Connective Tissue |
Location: Tendon, fibrous tissue Function: Provides firm attachment, conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction between muscles, stabilizes relative positions of bones |
|
|
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue |
Location: Skin Function: Provides strength to resist forces applied from many directions, helps prevent over expansion of organs such as the urinary bladder |
|
|
Hyaline Cartilage |
Location: Trachea Function: Provides stiff but somewhat flexible support, reduces friction between bony surfaces * Chondrocyte * Lacuna * Perichondrium - Fibrous layer provides mechanical support & protection, attaches the cartilage to other structures |
|
|
Bone ( Osseous Tissue ) Location: Outer layer of all bones Function: Provides protection, support, and help bear the stress placed on them by the weight of the body |
* Central ( Haversian ) Canal - Contains blood vessels and nerves * Lacuna - Small spaces between the lamellae * Osteocyte - Bone cells * Perforating ( Volkmann's ) Canal - Inside osteon, provide energy & nourishing elements *Canaliculi - Provide routes by which nutrients can reach the osteocytes & waste products can leave them |
|
|
Blood |
Function: Transport oxygen and nutrients * White Blood Cell ( Leukocyte ) - Help defend the body from infection & disease * Red Blood Cell ( Erythrocyte ) - Contain an iron compound hemoglobin, responsible for transport of oxygen * Platelet - Are membrane enclosed packets of cytoplasm that function in the blood clotting |
|
|
Skeletal Muscle Tissue |
Location: Directly & indirectly attached to the bones of the skeleton. Function: Produce skeletal movement, maintain posture & body position, support soft tissues, guard entrances & exits, maintain body temperature, store nutrient reserves |
|
|
Cardiac Muscle Tissue |
Location: Heart Function: Circulates blood, maintains blood pressure *Intercalated Disc - Support synchronized contraction of cardiac tissue |
|
|
Smooth ( Visceral ) Muscle Tissue |
Location: Found in the walls of blood vessels, urinary, and reproductive organs Functions: Moves food, urine, and reproductive tract secretions, regulates diameter of blood vessels |
|
|
Neural ( Nervous ) Tissue |
Location: Brain, spinal cord Function: Control centers of the nervous system *Cell Body ( Soma ) * Nucleus of Neuron * Nucleus of astrocyte ( Nucleus of glial cell ) * Axons - Carry the action potential away from the cell body toward the next neuron * Dendrites - Receive the electrical signals called nerve impulses |
