Practical #1: Tissue Slides - Location & Function

Front 1

location: under skin, around kidneys and eyeballs; within abdomen; in breasts.

Back 1

adipose CT

Front 2

function: reserve fuel, insulation against heat loss, supports&protects organs

Back 2

adipose CT

Front 3

location: Widely distributed under epithelia of body, e.g., forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds blood vessels.

Back 3

areolar CT

Front 4

function: Wraps and cushions organs; its macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays important role in inflamation; holds and conveys tissue fluid.

Back 4

areolar CT

Front 5

location: Contained within blood vessels.

Back 5

blood (mostly RBCs, a few WBCs)

Front 6

function: Transportation of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances.

Back 6

blood (mostly RBCs, a few WBCs)

Front 7

location: bones

Back 7

bone

Front 8

function: Supports and protects (by enclosing); provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones in the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis).

Back 8

bone

Front 9

location: The walls of the heart.

Back 9

cardiac muscle

Front 10

function: As it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control.

Back 10

cardiac muscle

Front 11

location: Tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses.

Back 11

dense regular CT

Front 12

function: Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.

Back 12

dense regular CT

Front 13

location: Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis.

Back 13

elastic cartilage

Front 14

function: Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility.

Back 14

elastic cartilage

Front 15

location: Intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint.

Back 15

fibrocartilage

Front 16

function: Tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock.

Back 16

fibrocartilage

Front 17

location: Forms most of the embryonic skeleton; covers the ends of long bones in joint caveties; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx.

Back 17

hyaline cartilage

Front 18

function: Supports and reinforces; has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress.

Back 18

hyaline cartilage

Front 19

location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Back 19

nervous

Front 20

function: Transmit electrical signals: from sensory receptors, to effectors (muscles and glands); and between other neurons.

Back 20

nervous

Front 21

location: Nonciliated type in male's sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the upper respiratory tract.

Back 21

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Front 22

function: Secretion, particularly of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action.

Back 22

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Front 23

location: Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated veriety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.

Back 23

simple columnar epithelium

Front 24

function: Absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliary action.

Back 24

simple columnar epithelium

Front 25

location: Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface.

Back 25

simple cuboidal epithelium

Front 26

location: Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae).

Back 26

simple squamous epithelium

Front 27

function: Allows passage of materials by diffustion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae

Back 27

simple squamous epithelium

Front 28

location: In the skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin.

Back 28

skeletal muscle

Front 29

function: Voluntary movement; locomotion; manipulation of the environment; facial expression; voluntary control.

Back 29

skeletal muscle

Front 30

location: Mostly in the walls of hollow organs.

Back 30

smooth muscle

Front 31

function: Propels substances or objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways; involuntary control.

Back 31

smooth muscle

Front 32

location: Nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.

Back 32

stratified squamous epithelium

Front 33

function: Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion.

Back 33

stratified squamous epithelium

Front 34

location: Lines the ureters, bladder and part of the urethra.

Back 34

transitional epithelium

Front 35

function: Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine.
