What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is it Found?
|
Areolar Tissue, a type of loose connective tissue
|
Provides elasticity; found throughout the body. You can rub your for arms back and forth with ease because of this tissue.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is it Found?
|
Adipose, a type of loose connective tissue.
|
Around the kidneys for support, part of the epidermis to provide heat regulation and cushioning. Throughout the body as a fuel source.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is it Found?
|
Dense Regular, a dense connective tissue. The fibroblasts are thin, unlike the smooth muscle cells.
|
found in tendons, its regular conformation allows for great amounts of tensile strength, at the detriment of all other stresses.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Where is it found, what is it's function?
|
Hyaline Cartilage, a connective tissue.
|
Found at bone ends, at the joints and between ribs and sternum. It provides cushion against force and friction.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is it found?
|
Dense Irregular, a connective tissue
|
Provides support from many directions, as seen in fasciae (muscle covering).
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is it found?
|
Fibrocartilage, a type of connective tissue. Notice the chondrocytes (cartilage cells) in a row in between long regular rows of fibers.
|
Found in intervertebral disks and the pubic symphonis. Its function is support of its attached structures. It is the strongest of cartilages.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is it found?
|
Compact Bone, a connective tissue. Circular rings and the presence of a central canal.
|
Found in the bones of the skeletal system. Primarily for support of the human skeletal system.
|
|
What is this? Tissue? Function? Where is this found?
|
Spongy Bone, a connective tissue. Evident due to presence of spicules (the solid pink regions) containing marrow.
|
Spongy bone is responsible for blood cell production and support against bending and stretching. It is found in long and irregular bones.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is this found?
|
Blood, a connective tissue.
|
Functions as transportation (RBC),nutrient exchange (RBC), and pathogen protection (WBC). Found in the circulatory system.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is this found?
|
Skeletal Muscle, a muscle tissue. Evident by the striation in a regular direction.
|
Provides mobility and support. Found throughout the body. Elusively voluntary movement.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is this found?
|
Cardiac Muscle, a muscle tissue. Evident because of its striated look and branched myofibers.
|
Found in the heart, provides interconnected network of muscle which does fatigue. Involuntary.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is this found?
|
Smooth Muscle, a muscle tissue. Evident due to the larger nucleus size, compared to dense regular tissue.
|
Involuntary movement. Found in hollow walls of the digestive tract and organs, which contract in concert with each other.
|
|
What is this? Tissue Type? Function? Where is this found?
|
Nervous Tissue
|
Highly specialized in communication. Found throughout the body.
|
|
|
Where is simple epithelial tissue found?
|
Areas in which there is little need of "backup cells" such as the alveoli.
|
|
|
|
Where is stratified epithelial tissue found?
|
Areas in which there is a need of "backup cells", such as seen in skin and esophagus.
|
|
|
|
Squamous epithelium form and function?
|
Flattened egg shape, used in areas where diffusion or large surface areas are required. Simple examples are around capillaries, in alveoli, and glomerulli. Stratified is found as part of epidermis, esophagus, and cornea.
