Tissue Types In The Body
Epithelium
-
-
Simple Squamous
Found in
capillaries, alveoli, glomeruli, outer layer of skin and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required.
A single Layer of thin, flattened cells
Functions to
Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae.
-
-
-
-
Transitional Epithelium
Function
DIstensibility, protection, cells stretch readily in order to accommodate fluctuation of volume of the liquid in an organ.
-
Glandular Epithelium
Function
Secretion, and helps in sexual functions by secreting lubricating fluid during sexual excitation.
They are closely packed together, with little or no intracellular space. The cells are cuboidal in shape with multiple layers.
Location
Salivary Glands, Sweat glands, endocrine glands.
Connective Tissues
Loose Connective Tissue
Areolar Tissue
-
Location
Location
Beneath Skin, Between muscles, beneath epithelial tissues.
Adipose Tissue
Fuction
Protects, insulates, stores fat.
The adipose tissue is composed of a loose collection of specialized cells, called adipocytes, embedded in a mesh of collagen fibers.
Location
Beneath skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, on surface of heart
Dense connective tissue
Location
Tendons, Ligaments, deeper layers of the skin
Function
Binds Organs together
Many closely packed, thick, collagenous fibers.
Hyaline Cartilage
Function
Supports, Protects, provides frameworks
Location
Nose, end of bones, rings in the walls of respiratory passages.
Very fine collagenous fibers in its extracellular matrix and looks somewhat like white glass.
Elastic Cartilage
Function
Supports Protects, provides flexible framework.
A dense network of elastic fibers.
-
Fibrocartilage
Function
Supports, protects, absorbs shock
A dense network of elastic fibers.
Location
Between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee
Bone
Function
Supports, protects, provide frameworks
Location
Bones of skeleton
It contains abundant collagenous fibers, which are flexible.
Blood
Function
Transport substances, Helps maintain stable internal enviroment
-
-
Muscle Tissue
-
Cardiac muscle tissue.
Function
Heart movements
It cells are joined end to end , resulting in a complex networks.
-
-
Nervous Tissue
Location
Brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
