4 Major Types of Tissue - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Stratified cuboidal
        
        Function
        
        Protective tissue
        
        Structure
        
        Several layers of cuboidal cells; neatly arranged
        
        Location
        
        Sweat glands, salivary glands, mammary glands
      - Stratified columnar
        
        Function
        
        Secretes and protects
        
        Structure
        
        Several layers of columnar cells;
        apical surface covered in cilia
        
        Location
        
        The male urethra and the ducts of some glands
      - Stratified squamous
        
        Function
        
        Protects against abrasion
        
        Structure
        
        Several layers of squamous cells; cells are flat
        
        Location
        
        Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
    - - Function
        
        Allows urinary organs to expand and stretch
      - Structure
        
        All cells irregularly shaped and arranged
      - Location
        
        Lines bladder, urethra, and ureters
    - - Simple cuboidal
        
        Function
        
        Secretes and absorbs
        
        Structure
        
        One layer of cuboidal cells;
        height and width about the same
        
        Location
        
        In ducts and secreting portions of small glands and in kidney tubules.
      - Simple columnar
        
        Function
        
        Absorbs; secretes mucous and enzymes
        
        Structure
        
        One layer of columnar cells;
        taller than it is wide
        
        Location
        
        Ciliated tissues are in bronchi, uterine tubes, and the uterus;
        Smooth (non-ciliated tissues) are in the digestive tract and bladder
      - Simple squamous
        
        Function
        
        Allows materials to pass through by diffusion and filtration; secretes lubricating substances
        
        Structure
        
        One layer of squamous cells; wider than it is tall
        
        Location
        
        Air sacs of lungs and lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels
    - - Function
        
        Secretes mucus;
        ciliated tissue moves mucus
      - Structure
        
        All cells are irregularly shaped and touch the basement membrane; curvy lateral surfaces;
        apical surface covered in cilia
      - Location
        
        Ciliated tissue lines the trachea and much of the upper respiratory tract
- - - - Example
        
        Blood and lymph
      - Function
        
        Transporting materials from one part of the body to another
    - - Example
        
        Cartilage and bone
      - Function
        
        Support the body, protect delicate organs, and surround and interconnect other tissues
    - - Function
        
        Stores energy in adipose tissues until needed
        
        Absorb shock and bind tissues together
        
        Provide supportive and protective framework for soft organs
      - Example
        
        Tissue under the skin, fatty tissue, tendons, and ligaments
