4 major types of tissue - Coggle Diagram

- - - - nerves
      - Spinal cord
      - Brain
- - - - Cardiac muscle
      - Smooth muscle
      - Skeletal muscle
- - - - Fat and other soft padding tissue
      - Bone
      - Tendon
  - - - Supporting and Protecting: The skeleton, tendons, and ligaments create a bony framework to support the body, protect delicate organs, and surround and interconnect other tissues
      - Transporting Materials: Fluid connective tissue (blood and lymph) quickly move dissolved materials from one part of the body to the other
      - Store Energy Reserves: Stores energy in adipose (fat) tissue until needed - fat also provide insulation and padding
      - Defending the Body: Specialized connective tissue cells form our immune system, which protects us from foreign invaders
  - - - Supporting connective tissue come in two types, cartilage and bone. These tissues are less diverse and have a matrix of dense ground substance and closely packed fibers, which give them the strength and rigidity to support the rest of the body.
      - Fluid connective tissue have distinctive populations of cells suspended in a watery ground substance that contains dissolved proteins. The two fluid connective tissues of the body are blood and lymph.
      - Connective tissue proper refers to connective tissues with many types of cells and fibers surrounded by a syrupy ground substance. Examples are tissue that underlies the skin, fatty tissue, tendons, and ligaments.
- - - - stratified squamous epithelium
        
        structure
        
        ( )
        
        like the simple squamous but multiple layers and seem more distorted
        
        function
        
        protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion
        
        location
        
        forms the moist lining of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
      - stratified columnar epithelium
        
        structure
        
        ( )
        
        like simple columnar but it has multiple layers
        
        function
        
        protection and secretion
        
        location
        
        small amounts in male urethra and some glands
      - stratified cuboidal epithelium
        
        structure
        
        ( )
        
        like the simple cuboidal epithelium except there are multiple layers. in this pic it looks more like squares than cubes
        
        function
        
        protection and secretes
        
        location
        
        Largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands.
    - - location
        
        lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra
      - structure
        
        many different epithelium shapes on different layers
      - function
        
        stretches and expands urinary organs
    - - structure
        
        messier and less straight version of columnar epitheliums
      - function
        
        Protection, secretion, movement of mucus
      - location
        
        Linings of respiratory passages
    - - simple squamous epithelium
        
        structure
        
        flat, one layer, not perfect squares
        
        location
        
        Kidney, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity(serosae)
        
        Function
        
        Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration, secretes lubricating substances in serosae.
      - simple cuboidal epithelium
        
        function
        
        secretion and absorption
        
        structure :
        
        ( )
        
        flat, one layer, almost perfect squares
        
        location
        
        Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands, ovary surface.
      - simple columnar epithelium
        
        structure
        
        flat, one layer, long, can be ciliated or not
        
        ( )
        
        function
        
        Absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes
        
        location
        
        digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.
