Front 1

Simple Columnar Epithelium w/ Microvilli

Back 1

Location: Line digestive tract, gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands.

Function: absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances.

Front 2

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Back 2

Location: kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, ovary surface.

Function: secretion and absorption

Front 3

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Back 3

Location: kidney, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, lining of ventral body cavity.

Function: passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in safe to wear protection is not important; secretes a lubricating the serosae.

Front 4

Ciliated Simple Columnar Epithelium

Back 4

Location: lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.

Function: propels mucus forwarded by action of cillia.

Front 5

Stratified Culumnar Epithelium w/ Cilia

Back 5

Location: Pharynx, anus, and uterus.

Function: protection and movement of mucus.

Front 6

Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium

Back 6

Location: line the trachea, most of upper respiratory tract.

Function: secretion, particularly mucus, propulsion of mucus by ciliary action.

Front 7

Transitional Epithelium

Back 7

Location: lines ureters, urinary bladder, and part of urethra.

Function: stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ contained by urine.

Front 8

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Back 8

Location: Moist lining of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina.

Function: Protects underlying tissue in areas subjected to abrasion.

Front 9

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

Back 9

Location: largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands.

Function: Protection

Front 10

Reticular Loose Connective Tissue

Back 10

Location: Lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen.)

Function: fiber form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types.

Front 11

Areolar Loose Connective Tissue

Back 11

Location: widely distributed under epithelia of body, packages organs, surrounds capillaries.

Function: wraps and cushions organs, macrophages phagocytize bacteria, plays an important role in inflammation, holds and conveys tissue fluid.

Front 12

Adipose Loose Connective Tissue

Back 12

Location: understand, around kidneys and eyeball, with in abdomen, in breast.

Function: provides reserve fuel, insulate against heat loss, supports and protects organs.

Front 13

Regular Dense Connective Tissue- Fibrous

Back 13

Location: Tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses.

Function: attaches muscle to bone or other muscles, attached is bone to bone, withstands great tensile strength when pulling force applied and one direction.

Front 14

Regular Dense Connective Tissue - Fibrous (trichrome stain)

Back 14

Location: Tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses.

Function: Attaches muscle to bones or other muscles, attached is bone to bone, with stands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.

Front 15

Elastic Cartilage

Back 15

Location: support external ear, epiglottis.

Function: Maintain shape of a structure while allows great flexibility.

Front 16

Hyaline Cartilage

Back 16

Location: forms most of embryonic skeleton, cover the end of long bones in joint cavities, forms costal cartilages of the ribs, cartilages of nose, trachea, and larynx.

Function: support and reinforces, has cushioning properties, resist compressive stress.

Front 17

Embryonic Connective Tissue - mesenchymal tissue

Back 17

Location: primarily in embryo.

Function: gives rise to all other connective tissues, later becomes bone.

Front 18

Osseous Tissue

Back 18

Location: Bone

Function: bone supports and protects, provides levers for the muscles to act on, stores calcium and other minerals and fat, marrow inside bones is site for red blood cell formation.

Front 19

Blood

Back 19

Location: Contained within blood vessels.

Function: transportation of the respiratory gases, nutrients, waste and other substances.

Front 20

Nervous Tissue

Back 20

Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves.

Function: transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effector which control activity.

Front 21

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Back 21

Location: in a little muscle which are attached to bone and occasionally to skin.

Function: voluntary movement, locomotion, manipulation of the environment, facial expression, voluntary control.

Front 22

Cardiac Muscle

Back 22

Location: Walls of heart.

Function: propel the blood into circulation as it contracts, involuntary control.

Front 23

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Back 23

Location: Walls of hollow organs.

Function: propel substances or objects along internal passageways, involuntary control.
