Anatomical Tissues (Epithelial Tissue (characteristics common to all types…

- - - - Found in the small intestine
      - has microvilli
- - - - solid, rubbery
      - hyaline cartilage
        
        flexible and resilient
        
        trachea; tip of nose
      - elastic cartilage
        
        flexible, resilient, recoil
        
        outer ear; epiglottis
      - fibrocartilage
        
        flexible and resilient
        
        intervertebral discs
    - - solid, crystalline matrix
      - strength and structure
      - bones, i.e. skeletal system
      - structure: osteocytes and extracellular matrix
  - - - packed
      - regular
        
        tendons
        
        attach muscle to bone
        
        ligaments
        
        bone to bone
      - elastic
        
        stretch & recoil
        
        large blood vessels; EX: aorta
      - irregular
        
        provide strength in EVERY direction
        
        location: deeper layer of dermis
        
        like plywood or particle board
    - - areolar
        
        support other tissues; usually epithelium; holds fluid - H2O
        
        found deep to epithelium, surrounds all blood vessels and nerves
      - adipose
        
        fat
        
        purpose: nutrient storage, insulation, protection
        
        found in the hypodermic and around organs as well
      - reticular
        
        provide structure (like scaffolding)
        
        location: spleen, lymph nodes
      - open framework
  - - - deliver oxygen, nutrients, and other substances throughout the body
      - erythrocytes
        
        RBC
      - leucocytes
        
        WBC
      - thrombocytes
        
        platelets
