TISSUES
Functions and Locations
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Elastic connective Tissue | Location:Muscular walls of the tunica media of arteries, vocal cords Function:Elasticity |
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue | Location: deep layer of the skin, white of eye, cartilage, and bone Function: provides strength, resists stress and strain against tearing |
Hyaline Cartilage | Location: ends of bones, ribs, larynx, trachea Function: reduce friction at joints, keeps air passages open |
Adipose Tissue | Location: hypodermis, around kidneys, eyeballs, mammary glands Function: store lipids as inclusions, warmth, protection of some organs |
Layers of Thin Skin | 1)stratum corneum 2)stratum granulosum 3)stratum spinosum 4)stratum basale 5) dermis |
Dense Regular Connective Tissue | Location:tendons, ligaments, and vocal cords Function: binds bone together or muscle to bone |
Smooth Muscle | Location: small intestines, uterus, skin with hair Function: involuntary, contract uterus, regulates diameter of blood vessels, and makes hair stand up (goosebumps) |
Bone | Locations: skeleton Function: protects soft organs, locomotion along with muscles, scaffold for body |
Skeletal muscle | Location: attached to skeletal bones all around the body Function: voluntary control, help to move your body |
Cardiac Muscle | Location: heart and heart tissues Function: involuntary, for contractions of the heart, pumping blood throughout the body |
Transitional Epithelium | Location: urinary bladder, umbilical cord, ureter Function: allows stretching |
Stratified Squamous Epithelium | Location: epidermis, oral cavity, esophagus, vagina Function: resists abrasion, prevents microbial infections, retards water loss in skin |
Areolar Connective Tissue | Location: around many organs, attach epithelia to lower layers Function: binds epithelia to lower layers, insulates organs from infection |
Simple Columnar Epithelium | Location: stomach and intestines Function: absorption and secretion |
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium | Location: kidney tubules, liver Function: absorption and secretion |
Reticular Connective Tissue | Location: spleen, thymus, lymph nodes Function: provides internal skeleton for soft organs |
Psuedostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium | Location: respiratory passages, trachea Function: secretion of mucous, trapping dust particles, and moving them away from the lungs |
Fibrocartilage | Location: pubis symphysis, intervertabral discs Function: protect from wear and tear at weight bearing or stressed joints |
Elastic Cartilage | Location: external ear, epiglottis Function: provides flexible framework |
Layers of Thick Skin | 1)surface of skin 2)stratum corneum 3)stratus lucidum 4)stratum granulosum 5)stratum spinosum 6)stratum basale 7)basement membrane 8) dermis |
Blood | Location: heart and blood vessels Function: transport or gases, nutrients, hormones, water, and other material through the body |
Nervous Tissue | Location: brain and spinal cord Function: transmission of information, assimilation |
Simple Squamous Epithellium | Location: lungs, inside heart, and blood vessels Function: diffussion, reduction of friction, secretion of serous fluid |
