Types of Tissues In The Body
Connective
Loose Connective Tissue
Location: Directly beneath the epidermis of the skin
!
Function: To attach epithelial tissue to the tissue underneath
Asipose Connective Tisue
Location: It's located underneath your skin, between internal organs, and inner cavities of the bones.
Function: It collects, restores, and releases lipids.
Bone
Location: ligaments and tendons
Function: Provides structural support for other tissues such as muscles and skin
Dense Ordinary Connective Tissues
Location: Tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, reparatory tract, and blood vessel walls.
Function: Provides strength, making skin resistant to tearing from different directions.
Cartilage
Location: Between joints and bones
Function: Protects your joints and bones.
Blood
Location:Large blood vessels, elastic cartilages, yellow ligaments, lungs and skin
Function:Brings oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other signaling molecules, and removes waste.
Epithelial
Stratified Squamous
Location: surrounds different organs, the skin, pharynx, and esophagus
Function: protection against microorganism from invading underlying tissue and or protection against water loss
Simple Columnar
Location: Found in the stomach and intestines
Function: Secretes, provides protection, absorption, digestion, and maintaining immunity for the digestive system.
Simple Cuboidal
Location: Surface of the ovaries, lining of the nephrons, walls of renal tubes, eyes, thyroid, and salivary glands.
Function: Absorbing or secreting material into ducts or tubes.
Simple Squamos
Location: Lines the blood vessels and body cavities
Function; Allows selective diffusion of materials to pass through
Stratified Cuboidal
Location: Salivary glands, and sweat glands
Function: Protects areas such as duct glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands
Stratified Columnar
Location:conjunctiva, pharynx, anus, and male urethra
Function: Primarily provides protection and secretion.
Muscle
Cardiac
Location: The walls of the heart
Function: responsible for contracting the heart, the pumping action.
Smooth
Location: hallow walls of visceral organs. Such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Except the heart. They are also in the digestive tract.
Function: Smooth muscle tissue helps move food down the digestive tract, and applies pressure on organs.
Skeletal
Location: between bones
Function: Enables us to move and preforms daily activities
Nervous
Neurons
Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Function: To generate and carry out nerve impulses.
Neurolgia
Location: Found in the ventricles of the brain and the central nervous system.
Function: It maintains homeostasis and immune surveillance in the nervous system
