TYPES OF TISSUES - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Location: found in ducts of some glands and parts of male uretha
      - Function: mostly protection
  - - - Description: Single layer of flat cells with a flattened nucleus
        
        Location: blood vessels, lymphatic vessel linings
        
        Function: secrets lubricating substance, allows diffusion and filtration
  - - - Description: irregular columnar shaped cells: all of the cells are attached to the basement membrane; but not all are cells are equal height; some cells are not exposed on the apical surface
        
        Location: Lines always of most upper respiratory tract
        
        Function: Have cilla that sweeps mucus out of lungs
    - - Description: variable, appearance depending on it the cells are stretched or relaxed: varies between stratified squamous and cuboidal
        
        Location: Lines the ureters bladder, and part of the urethra
        
        Function: repeated stretching without rupturing
- - - - Location: walls of hollow internal oragans
        
        Function: Involuntary movement
  - - - Location: attached to bones or occasionally to skin
        
        Function: voluntary movement; facial expression; voluntary control
- - - - Description : closely packed adipocytes or fat cells, have nucleus pushed to the side by large fat droplet
        
        Location: beneath the skin and around internal organs
        
        Function: energy strong, hormone production, thermal isolation
      - Reticular
        
        Description: typical loose ground substance ; reticular cells lie on the network
        
        Location: Lymphoid organs (Lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen)
        
        Function: fibers form a soft internal skeleton (storma) that supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages
  - - - Description : more elastic fibers in matrix
        
        Function: maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
        
        Location: Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis
- - - - Description : Primarily parallel collagen fibers; a few elastic fibers; major cell type is the fibroblast
      - Location: Tendons, most ligament, aponeuroses
      - function: Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bone to bone; withstand great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction
  - - - Function: Able to withstand tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength
        
        Location: Fibrous capsules of organs and of joints; dermis of the skin; submucosa of digestive tract
- - - - Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
        
        Function: transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors supporting cells support and protect neurons
