Tissue Types of the Body By Vyom and Michael
Connective Tissue
Reticular connective tissue
Supports
Description of Appearance: It is branched and has mesh-like patterns.
Location: In walls of liver and spleen
Dense connective tissue
Binds body parts
Location: Tendons, ligaments, deep layer of skin
Adipose tissue
Protects, insulates, stores fat
Location: Beneath skin, between muscles, beneath epithelial tissues
Loose connective tissue
Location: Beneath skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, on surface of heart
Description of Appearance: It appears as a loose arrangement of collagenous and elastic fibers
Hyaline cartilage
Supports, protects, provides framework
Location: Ends of bones, nose, rings in the walls of respiratory passages
Elastic cartilage
Supports, protects, provides flexible framework
Location: Framework of external ear and parts of larynx between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee
Fibrocartilage
supports, protects, provides framework
Location: Between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee
Bone
Supports, protects, absorbs shock
Location: Bones of skeleton
Blood
Transports substances, helps maintain stable internal environment
Location: Throughout the body within a closed system of blood vessels and heart chambers
Description of Appearance: Blood is red to the naked eye, under a microscope, it depends. It appears red because of hemoglobin which is carried in the blood
Areolar tissue
Binds organs
Location: Beneath skin, between muscles, beneath epithelial tissues
Muscle
Skeletal Muscle
Provide voluntary movement, attached to skeleton
Cardiac Muscle
Muscles in the heart tissue, provide involuntary movement
Smooth Muscle
Muscles of organs, provide involuntary movement
Nervous
Found in the brain tissue
Neurons
Transmit signals through the body
Neuroglia
Provide protection and support
Epithelial Tissue
Stratified Squamous
Multiple layers of flat cells
Found as lining in body cavities such as mouth and skin
Function in protection
Simple Squamous
Single layer of flat cells
Found in air sacs of lungs and walls of capillaries
Function in diffusion and filtration
Stratified Cuboidal
Multiple layers of cube shaped cells
Lines the ducts of memory glands, sweat glands, and the pancreas
Function in profection
Pseudostratified Columnar
Appear like multi layer, but really just one layer of rectangular shaped cells, usually ciliated
Line air passages such as the trachea and the tubes of the reproductive system
Function in secretion and cilia aided movement
Transitional Epitheleum
Thick layers of cube shaped cells
Found in the lining of the urinary bladder
Is a Stretchable tissue, and forms a barrier to prevent diffusion
Glandular Epitheleum
Secretes substances, mostly cuboidal/columnar
Exocrine glands release substances onto surfaces
Endocrine glands release substances into tissue fluids and blood
