TISSUE TYPES IN THE BODY
Epithelial
Simple Squamous
Found in Air Sacs of lungs, and walls of capillaries
-
Very thin single layer of flat cells 
Simple cuboidal
Found in lining of kidney tubules, thyroid glands, central of spinal cord
-
Single layer of cube shaped cells
Simple columnar
-
-
Single layer of rectangular shaped cells
-
Stratified squamous
-
-
Multiple layers of flat cells
Stratified cuboidal
Multiple layers of cube shaped cells
-
-
Stratified columnar
-
Found in male urethra, ducts of salivary glands, and cornea of eye
Multiple layers of rectangular shaped cells
Transitional epithelium
-
-
Dome shaped cells near top, irregular cuboidal shaped cells underneath
Connective
Blood
Red and white cells surrounded by a fluid extracellular matrix called plasma
-
Transports gasses, nutrients, waste & protects and heals wounds
Dense Regular
-
-
fibroblast cells surrounded by closely packed collagen fibers running parallel
Bone
Cells surrounded by collagen and mineralized matrix
-
stores minerals, provides internal support, protects vital organs
Dense Irregular
cells surrounded by bundles of collagen fibers arranged irregularly
-
-
Areolar
Found under skin, wraps around small blood vessels and nerves
-
Appears weblike
Hyaline cartilage
provides stiff, flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces
cell surrounded by firm transparent matrix
found in the trachea, nose and covers bone
Adipose
beneath skin, in abdominal membranes and around kidneys, hearts and joints
-
LArge, fat cells, little extracellular matrix
Elastic Cartilage
-
-
Elastic fibers intertwined between chondrocytes
Fibrocartilage
groups of chondrocytes separated by dense collage fibers
-
found in knee joints, jaw joints, and intervertebral discs
Muscle
Skeletal
-
Voluntary Muscle, under conscious control
Long cylindrical cells that are striated with bands running perpendicular to the cell
Smooth
-
-
Elongated cells with tapered ends that contain a single, centrally located nucleus
Cardiac
-
-
Striated, has a single, centrally located nucleus and the muscle fibers branch often
Nervous
-
-
Composed of neurons and nerve support cells
