Four Major Types of Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
Stratified
Squamous
Function: protects from abrasion
Location
mouth
vagina
esophagus
skin
Columnar
Function: protects & secretes
Location
male urethra
ducts of some glands
Cuboidal
Function: protective tissue
Location
salivary glands
mammary glands
sweat glands
ducts of glands
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar
Function: secretes mucous (ciliated tissue moves mucous)
Location
trachea
upper respiratory tract
Simple
Cuboidal
Function: secrete & absorb
Location
secretory portion of small glands
ducts
kidney tubules
Columnar
Function: absorption & secretes enzymes/mucous
Location
small intestine, villi
Squamous
Function: material passes by filtration/diffusion & secretes serous fluid
Location
blood vessels
lining of heart
lymphatic vessels
air sacs of lung
mesothelium
Transitional
Function: urinary organs expand/stretch & protective barrier
Location
urethra
urinary bladder
ureters
Anatomy
Supported by connective tissue
Avascularity: no blood vessels
Polarity
Different surfaces: apical/basal surface
allow things in/out
Innervation: has nerves/many site receptors
Special Contacts
Desmosomes
strongest connection between cells
Gap Junction
places where movement is cell to cell
Tight Junction
prevent movement of things between cells
Regeneration: grows back
Cellularity: cells closely packed together
Connective Tissue
Anatomy
Extracellular Matrix
ground substance
fibers
elastic fibers
reticular fibers
collagen fibers
Mesenchyme: embryonic origin
fibroblast
fibrocyte
chondroblast
chondrocyte
mast cell
osteoblast
osteocyte
adipocyte
white (adult)
brown: heat generating tissue (infant)
Loose
Adipose
Function: a)nutrient storage, b)insulate, c)protection
Structure
adipocyte
fat vacuole
Location
b) hypodermis
c) around organs
a) fat call (adipoctye)
Reticular Fiber
Function: provides space for fluid/cells to flow through
Location
lymph node
spleen
Structure
mostly, reticular fibers
ground substance
fibroblasts
Areolar Connective Tissue
Function: support
Location
deep to epithelial tissue
surrounds blood vessel
Structure
elastic fibers
stretch & recoil
collagen fibers
strength
extracellular matrix
ground substance
fibroblast
produces ground substance/fibers
reticular fibers
provide structure
Dense
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Function: strength in many planes
Location

strength
Cartilage
Elastic Cartilage
Function: flexible, resilient, recoil
Location
ear
epiglottis
Structure
