Histology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Simple Squamous | -Kidney tubules, alveoli of lungs, blood vessels Rapid Diffusion |
| Simple Cuboidal | -Pancreas, salivary glands, kidneys Accommodate endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi for secretion |
| Simple Columnar | -Intestinal wall Rectangular shape, providing more protection than cuboidal. Microvilli help increase surface area for absorption |
| Pseudo stratified Ciliated Columnar | - Respiratory tract: Nasal cavity, tranchea, bronchi Touches the base surface, contain cilia to help move mucus |
| Stratified Squamous | - Outer skin Start off rounded, but are flattened as they are pushed outwards |
| Transitional | - Lining of bladder Rounded and can stretch/flatten |
| Areolar | - Between skin and muscle Binds after tissues together, and its part of the inflammatory response |
| Adipose | - Bottom layer of skin, covering the abdomen and heart Stores energy, absorbs shock, and provides insulation |
| Reticular | - Spleen, Bone marrow, lymph nodes Holding blood cells in place, white and red blood cells storage |
| Dense Regular | - Ligaments, Tendons Provides connection between tissues that resists tension |
| Blood | - Within the blood vessels Transport oxygen and nutrients around the body |
| Hyaline Cartilage | - Respiratory tract, Ends of bones Provides smooth surface and a flexible connection between tissues |
| Elastic Cartilage | - External Ear Repeated bending while maintaining its original shape |
| Fibrocartilage | - Vertebral discs, Pelvic cartilage Highly resistant to compression and stretching |
| Bone | - All over the body Provides structure, support and helps in movement |
| Skeletal | - All skeletal muscle: biceps branchi used for VOLUNTARY movement |
| Smooth | - Stomach, Intestinal wall Used for INVOLUNTARY movement of HALLOW organs |
| Cardiac | - Heart muscle Intercalated discs where the cells attach to each other |
| Nervous Tissue | - Brain and Spinal cord Long branched neurons and smaller neuroglia |
