Tissue Types in the Body
Epithelial
Simple Squamous
-
Found in air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries
-
Stratified Columnar
Found in male urethra, ducts of salivary glands and cornea of eye
Protects and secretes (waste materials, mucus in the eye)
-
Transitional Epithelium
-
Cells near surface can flatten, allowing the issue to stretch
Dome shaped cells near surface, with irregular-cuboidal shaped cells underneath
Stratified Cuboidal
-
Lines sweat glands, and found in endocrine system (secretes necessary substances through the body)
-
Stratified Squamous
-
Lines body cavities (mouth and vagina), and outer layer of skin
-
Simple Cuboidal
-
Found lining the kidney tubules (ion pH balance), thyroid gland (hormones), central canal of spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid)
SIngle layer of cube shaped cells, centrally located nucleus
Simple Columnar
-
-
Single layer of rectangular shaped cells, nuclei located near basement membrane
-
Connective
Dense Regular
-
-
Fibroblast cells surrounded by closely packed, collagen fibers running parallel (slightly wavy)
Dense Irregular
-
"Provides multi directional tensile strength, structural support, and resistance to stress and tearing by distributing forces from various angles"
-
Blood
Transport gasses, nutrients, waste; protects and heals wounds
-
Red (leukocytes) and white (erythrocytes) cells surrounded by a fluid extracellular matrix called plasma
Hyaline Cartilage
Found in the trachea, nose, covers bones where they meet to form joins
Provides stiff, flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces
-
-
Areolar
-
Under skin (wraps small blood vessels and nerves), makes up basement membrane
-
Fibrocartilage
Grades into dense regular tissue (which is why it looks so similar),. found in knee joints, jaw joints, and intervertebral discs
-
-
Adipose
Found beneath skin, in abdominal membranes, and around kidneys, heart, joints
-
Consists mostly of adipocytes surrounded by little extracellular matrix (usually clear, colorless, and viscous
-
Nervous
-
-
Allows the propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body
Muscular
Smooth
"Contract involuntarily and move substances through internal passageways, regulate organ function, and maintain blood pressure"
-
Elongated cells with tapered ends that contain a single, centrally located nucleus
Cardiac
-
"Generate the rhythmic, forceful contractions that pump blood throughout the circulatory system, supplying organs and tissues with oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products"
Also striated, has a single, centrally located nucleus, and the muscle fibers branch often
Skeletal
"Movement by contracting to pull on bones, but it also maintains posture and stabilizes joints"
