Tissue Types

TYPE/DESCFUNCTION LOCATION
Simple squamous epithelium Single layer, flattened cells Filtration, diffusion, osmosis, covers surface Air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries, linings of blood and lymph vessels, part of the membranes lining body cavities and covering viscera
Simple cuboidal epithelium Single layer, cube-shaped cells Protection, secretion, absorption Surface of ovaries, linings of kidney tubules, and linings of ducts of certain glands
Simple columnar epithelium Single layer, elongated cells Protection, secretion, absorption Linings of uterus, stomach, and intestines
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Single layer, elongated and variously-shaped cells Protection, secretion, movement of mucus and substances Linings of respiratory passages
Stratified squamous epithelium Many layers, top cells flattened Protection Superficial layer of skin and linings of oral cavity, vagina, and anal canal
Stratified cuboidal epithelium 2 or 3 layers, cube-shaped cells Protection Linings of ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas
Stratified columnar epithelium Top layer of elongated cells, lower layers of cube-shaped cells Protection, secretion Part of the male urethra and lining of larger ducts of excretory glands
Transitional epithelium Many layers of cube-shaped and elongated cells Stretchability, protection Inner lining of urinary bladder and linings of ureters and part of urethra
Epithelial Lack blood vessels, cells readily divide, cells are tightly packed Protect, secrete, absorb, excrete Cover body surface, cover and line internal organs, compose glands
Connective Mostly have good blood supply, cells are farther apart than epithelial cells, with extracellular matrix in between Bind, support, protect, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells Widely distributed throughout the body
Muscle Able to contract in response to specific stimuli Generate forces for movement Able to contract in response to specific stimuli
Nervous Cells communicate with each other and other body parts Conduct impulses for coordination, regulation, integration, and sensory reception Found in brain, spinal cord, nerves

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
