Elastic
functions in stretching. found in skin, ear
areolar
functions in surrounding organs, inflammation, and holding tissue fluid. found in mucous membranes, and around capillaries
Reticular
functions in forming stroma to support other cells. found in lymph nodes, bone marrow
Adipose
functions in insulation, protections of organs, and providing food fuel. found under skin, around kidneys
Blood
functions in transportation of gases, nutrients and wastes. found in arteries and veins.
Hyaline cartilage
functions in support, cushioning, and resistance of compressive stress. found in trachea, cartilage of the nose
-
Bone
functions in support and protection, stores minerals and fat, functions in hematopoiesis. found in bones
Epithelial Tissues
Simple cuboidal
single layer of cube shaped cells that function in absorption and secretion. found in ducts, kidney tubules
Simple Squamous
single layer of flattened cells that function in diffusion, filtration, and secretion. found in blood vessels and alveoli
Simple columnar
single layer of rectangle shaped cells that function in absorption and secretion. found in uterine tubes, digestive tract
-
Stratified squamous
multiple layers of cells with cuboidal or columnar basal cells that function in protection. found in esophagus, epidermis of skin
Transitional
multiple layers of stratified squamous/ stratified cuboidal cells that function in stretching. found in bladder, uterus
Connective tissue cells
Goblet cells
function in the secretion of mucous and lubrication. found in intestine, trachea
-
Mast cells
immune cells that release histamines. found in skin, and lungs
Fibroblasts
cells that make collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers. found in skin and tendons
Muscle tissue
Smooth
Spindle shaped cells that function in involuntary control. found in intestines, urinary bladder
Skeletal
cylindrical multinucleate cells that function in voluntary movement found attached to bones, tongue
Cardiac
uninucleate cells that function in involuntary control of the heart which moved blood into the circulatory system. found in the heart
