Bone
|
Skeleton
Support, protection, attachment sites for muscle, mineral storage Osteocytes occupy lacunae, compact bone has osteons w/central canals, lamellae, and canaliculi. |
Connective tissue
|
|
Fibrocartilage
|
intervertebral disks, menisci of knee joints.
Support w/increased strength and durability. |
Connective tissue
|
|
Elastic Cartilage
|
External ears and part of larynx.
Support with elasticity. |
Connective tissue
|
|
Blood
|
Cardiovascular system.
Transport, protection from infection, prevention of blood loss. Formed elements (cells) in plasma (matrix). |
Connective tissue
|
|
Areolar
|
Below skin and below basement membrane of most epithelia.
Binds structures together. |
Connective tissue
|
|
Elastic Connective
|
Walls of larger arteries, heart chambers, larger airways, and between vertebrae.
Provides strength and elasticity. |
Connective tissue.
|
|
Reticular Connective
|
Liver, Spleen, lymph nodes.
Structural Support |
Connective tissue
|
|
Dense Connective
|
Regular: tendons, ligaments.
Irregular: dermis of the skin. Provides strength. Regular is very slow to heal because it is non-vascular. |
Connective tissue
|
|
Adipose
|
Beneath skin, between muscles, around kidneys and heart, behind eyes, in abdominal membrane.
Adipocytes accumulate triglycerides for energy storage, insulation, and protection. |
Connective tissue.
|
|
Hyaline Cartilage
|
Ends of bones, tracheal rings, bone models in fetus and child.
Support, bone development. Of all cartilages, condricytes occupy lacunae, tissue is non-vascular but surrounded by vascular perichondrium. |
Connective tissue
|
|
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
|
Covers ovaries, lines kidney tubules, and ducts of many glands.
Absorption, secretion, excretion. |
Epithelial Tissue
|
|
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
|
Surface of the skin, linings of oral cavity, vagina, anal canal, and part of the pharynx.
Protection. May be keratinizing or non-keratinizing. |
Epithelium tissue
|
|
Simple Squamous Epithelium
|
Lines alveoli, forms capillary walls, lines blood and lymph vessels, covers body cavity membranes.
Diffusion, Filtration, Decreases friction. |
|
|
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
|
Lining of larger ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas.
Protection, secretion. |
|
|
Transitional Epithelium
|
Lining of urinary bladder, ureters, and part of urethra.
Protection, distension. |
|
|
Simple Columnar Epithelium
|
Lines uterus, stomach, intestines, uterine tubes.
Secretion, protection, absorption, production of movement. Many have cillia for movement or microvilli for absorption (brush border), and mucus secreting goblet cells. |
|
|
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
|
Lining vas deferens, part of male urethra, part of pharynx.
Protection, secretion |
|
|
Psuedostratified Columnar Epithelium
|
Lines respitory passages.
Protection, secretion, production of movement. May be ciliated with mucus secreting goblet cells. |
