Tissue (Connective tissue (Connective Tissue Proper (Recticular (Function:…

- - - - Simple Columnar
        
        Single layered column like cells some cillated; for protection secretion & absorption linings of uterus stomach, gallbladder and intestines
      - Pseudostratified Columnar
        
        Single layer column like cells, appear to have multiple layers but do not. Movement of substances, linings of respiratory passages.
      - Stratified Squamous
        
        Many layers of flattened cells; protects resists abrasion
        epidermis of skin, oral cavity, esophagus
      - Simple Cuboidal
        
        Single layer cube-shaped; secretion, absorption.
        Surface of ovaries, linings of kidney tubes, ducts and glands
      - Stratified Cuboidal
        
        multiple layers of cube like cells; protection/secretion
        Linings of large glands and pancreas
      - Stratified Columnar
        
        Many layers of cells but only the surface cells are columnar; deeper layers are cubodial shaped in male urethra and phyarynx
      - Transitional Epithelium
        
        Multiple layers of cells which appear cuboidal when not stretched, but squamous when stretched; found in the urinary organs
      - Simple Squamous
        
        Air sacks of the lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic. Single thin layer; filtration, diffusion, secretion
- - - - Function: maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
        Location: supports external ear
    - - Function: supports and reinforces
        Location: forms most of the embryonic skeleton
    - - Function: tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock
        Location: inververtebral discs
  - - - Function: fibers form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types
        Location: lymphoid organs
    - - Function: allows reocil of tissue following stretching
        Location: walls of large arteries
    - - Function: provides structural strength
        Location: dermis of skin
    - - Function: provides reserve fuel
        Location: under skin
    - - Function: attaches muscles to bones or to muscles
        Location: tendons
    - - Function: wraps and cushions organs
        Location: packages organs
- - - - Soma
        
        Body cell
      - Dendrite
        
        are specialized to release the neurotransmitters of the presynaptic cell. structures on the neuron that receive electrical messages.
      - Nodes of Ranvier
        
        Gaps in the myelin sheath where signals can "jump" down the axon
      - Axon Terminal
        
        are specialized to release the neurotransmitters of the presynaptic cell.
      - Schwann Cells
        
        Ensheather peripheral nerve axons; form myelin
      - Myelin Seath
        
        increase the speed at which impulses propagate along the myelinated fiber
      - Axon
        
        Long processes that extend off of the nerve; bundles = peripheral nerves
