| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| epithelial tissues | - simple squamous - simple columnar - simple cuboidal - stratified squamous - pseudostratified squamous - transitional |
| connective tissues | - areolar - adipose - reticular - dense regular - dense irregular - elastic (dense) - hyaline cartilage - elastic cartilage - fibrocartilage - compact bone - spongy bone - blood |
| muscle tissues | - skeletal - cardiac - smooth |
| nervous tissues | - neurons - neuroglia |
| simple squamous | location: lung alveoli, blood vessel lining function: rapid gas exchange |
| stratified squamous | location: epidermis of skin, throat, vagina function: forms protective barrier |
| simple cuboidal | location: kidney tubules function: absorption and secretion of substances in urine |
| simple columnar | location: stomach and intestines function: absorption of nutrients |
| pseudostratified columnar | location: trachea and bronchi function: traps particles in mucus and moves it upwards |
| transitional | location: urinary bladder function: allows bladder to stretch |
| areolar | location: beneath all epithelial tissue as basement membrane function: binds epithelium to underlying tissues |
| adipose | location: under skin and surrounding organs function: stores fat for energy, insulation and cushion |
| reticular | location: liver, spleen, lymph nodes function: supportive framework for organs |
| dense regular | location: ligaments and tendons function: connects muscles to bones |
| dense irregular | location: dermis of skin function: resists pulling of forces on skin |
| elastic (dense) | location: lungs and elastic arteries function: allows tissues to recoil when stretched |
| hyaline cartilage | location: ends of long bones, rib cage, and trachea function: smooth surface for articulation |
| elastic cartilage | location: external ear function: provides support and elasticity to ear |
| fibrocartilage | location: intervertebral cells function: provides strength to discs |
| compact bone | location: exterior of bones function: support, protection, and mineral storage |
| spongy bone | location: interior of bones function: support, protection, and mineral storage |
| blood | location: within blood vessels function: moves nutrients and wastes around body; attack pathogens |
| skeletal muscle | location: attached to bones function: movement of body - striated and voluntary |
| cardiac muscle | location: heart function: pumps blood - striated and involuntary |
| smooth muscle | location: walls of organs and blood vessels function: movement of organs, constricts of blood vessels - non striated and involuntary |
| neuron | location: brain, spinal cord, nerves function: conducts nerve impulses |
| neuroglia | location: brain, spinal cord, nerves function: supports neurons |
