Connective Tissue

Muscle

Skeletal Muscle

Cardiac Muscle

Smooth Muscle

Nervous

Epithelial Tissue

Reticular connective tissue

Dense connective tissue

Adipose tissue

Loose connective tissue

Hyaline cartilage

Elastic cartilage

Fibrocartilage

Bone

Blood

Transports substances, helps maintain stable internal environment

Supports, protects, absorbs shock

supports, protects, provides framework

Supports, protects, provides flexible framework

Protects, insulates, stores fat

Supports

Binds body parts

Areolar tissue

Binds organs

Location: Beneath skin, between muscles, beneath epithelial tissues

Location: Tendons, ligaments, deep layer of skin

Stratified Squamous

Simple Squamous

Location: Beneath skin, between muscles, beneath epithelial tissues

Single layer of flat cells

Found in air sacs of lungs and walls of capillaries

Function in diffusion and filtration

Multiple layers of flat cells

Found as lining in body cavities such as mouth and skin

Function in protection

Supports, protects, provides framework

Location: Ends of bones, nose, rings in the walls of respiratory passages

Location: Beneath skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, on surface of heart

Stratified Cuboidal

Multiple layers of cube shaped cells

Location: Throughout the body within a closed system of blood vessels and heart chambers

Lines the ducts of memory glands, sweat glands, and the pancreas

Function in profection

Location: Bones of skeleton

Location: Between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee

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

AApImHh

Glandular Epitheleum

Secretes substances, mostly cuboidal/columnar

Exocrine glands release substances onto surfaces

Endocrine glands release substances into tissue fluids and blood

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

Description of Appearance: It is branched and has mesh-like patterns.

Provide voluntary movement, attached to skeleton

Muscles in the heart tissue, provide involuntary movement

Muscles of organs, provide involuntary movement Smooth-muscle-cells

Found in the brain tissue

Neurons

Neuroglia

Transmit signals through the body

Provide protection and support

Location: Framework of external ear and parts of larynx between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee

Description of Appearance: It appears as a loose arrangement of collagenous and elastic fibers
