pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
located lining the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract.
pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

it's function (contains goblet cells) that secrete mucus and possesses cilia that beat to sweep the mucus up and out of the airways.

stratified Columnar Epithelium

located in the male urethra

stratified Columnar Epithelium

it's function is to protect in select portions of the urethra, anus, epiglottis, and pharynx. Designed for secretion in large ducts of mammary and salivary glands.
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

located in the ducts of sweat glands
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
It is capable of absorption, secretion, protection

Transitional Epithelium


can be found lining the urinary bladder and ureters
Transitional Epithelium

It's function is to allow stretching to occur as the bladder fills and the cells change from the rounded shape to the flattened shape.
skeletal muscle

can be found attached to bones

skeletal muscle

they produce movement of the skeleton.
smooth muscle

is located in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, urinary bladder, and muscle blood vessels. For this reason it is also called visceral muscle.
smooth muscle

it's function is to move substances through digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts. Regulates blood vessel diameter and controls the diameter of respiratory passageways.

cardiac muscle

is found only in the heart wall.

cardiac muscle


it's function is to generate the force capable of pumping blood through our blood vessels. Intercalated discs are found connecting adjacent cells. These unique structures allow for the rapid communication between adjacent cells.

nervous tissue, neuron

capable of generating and conducting an electrical impulse. These impulses carry information from one area of the body to another.
nervous tissue, nueroglial cells

they are an assortment of cells that protect, support, and insulate neurons, but do not carry nerve impulses.
dendrites

receive incoming impulses

axon

conducts impulse to the next cell
simple squamous epithelium
allows for easy movement of molecules across the membrane via processes such as osmosis and diffusion.

simple squamous epithelium


found in the kidney glomeruli, alveoli of the lungs, lining of the heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and serous membranes.



simple cuboidal epithelium


found in the kidney tubules, small ducts and glands, thyroid gland, and covering the ovary.


(function is secretion and absorption).

simple columnar epithelium

found in the lining of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, ducts of large glands, small bronchi, and uterine tubes
simple columnar epithelium

sections of the digestive tract lining posses microvilli, short slender cell processes that increase the surface area available for absorption of nutrients.
stratified squamous epithelium, keratinized.

upper layers are dead and filled with keratin, a hard protein. Designed for protection against pathogens, abrasion, and chemicals.
stratified squamous epithelium, keratinized.


found in the epidermis of the skin.



stratified squamous epithelium, non-keratinized
upper layers of the cells do not die and do not become filled with keratin. Protects underlying tissues.

stratified squamous epithelium, non- keratinized

found in lining of the esophagus, vagina, mouth, rectum, and anus
stratified cuboidal epithelium

primarily located in the ducts of sweat glands, is capable of absorption, secretion, and protection.
