L: nasal septum, trachea, bronchi and larynx |
transitional | C: stratified squamous/cubodial appearance and appears to be 4-5 layers thick
F: distention
L: ureter, urinary bladder |
Loose Areolar C.T | C: fibers, ground substance, matrix, elastic fiber, fibroblast and nuclei F: binds tissue, skin connects to muscle, protection, nourishment to the organs and structure it binds, stores "body fluid"
L: beneath skin, around blood vessel, nerves and muscle |
elastic connective tissue | C: elastic fibers, lumen of artery of veins
F: elastic fibers can stretch 1 1/2 their length and then recoil, fibers provide elasticity to tissues
L: elastic fibers, lumen of artery or vein |
Blood C.T | C: REd blood cells, white blood cells and platelets F: carry oxygen and glucose to cells
L: under skin |
simple squamous | C: one layered, flattened, irregularly shaped cells forming a continuous surface.
F: Diffusion and Filtration
L: covering visceral organs, capillary walls and aveoli of lungs |
Dense Irregular C.T | C:collage fibers, randomly arrange and clumped together; fibroblasts in spaces among fibers; more ground substance than in dense regular c.t.
F: provides strength in tissues
L: dermis of skin, periosteum, joint capsules, heart valves, dura mater |
Simple cuboidal | C: block appearance, nucleus is well rounded
F: Secretion, excretion and absorption
L: Lining Kidney tubules, salivary ducts and pancreatic ducts |
reticular C.T | C: Nuclei of reticular fibers, reticular fibers. Thin and netted F: forms stroma of lymphatic organs
L: stroma spleen, cavities in lymph nodes, liver and bone marrow |
Areolar loose c.t | C: mostly ground substance, looks like fiberglass, lesser amount f collagen and elastic fibers
F: binds and packs around organs
L: surrounding nerves, vessels; and subcutaneous layer |
elastic cartilage C.T | C: elastic and collagen fibers are arrange irregularly F: provides framework and supports organs
L: walls of large arteries |
Fibrocartilage CT | C: visible, parallel collagen fibers in matrix; lucunae house chondrocytes; no perchondrium
F: shock absorbers
L: between interbertebral disks, pubis symphysis and knee joint |
Hyaline Ct | C: looks like glass. clear, living in tissue; two chondrocytes per lacuna
F: support with flexibility, forms smooth surfaces in joints
L: nasal cartilage, ends of long bones, connects ribs to sternum and "C" shaped rings in trachea |
blood c.t | C: red spots, F: transport, themoregulation, defense agianst pathogens and communication L: blood |
bone C.T | C: looks like tree rings F: support, protection L: outer layer of bones |
ciliated simple columnar epithelium | C: single layer of tall, narrow ciliated cells, oval nucleas oriented lengthwise in teh basal region of the cell F: secretion of mucin and movement along apical surface L: ling of uterine tubes and large brochioles of respiratory tract |
non keratinized stratified squamous | C:multiple layers or cells, basal cells typically are cuboidal or polyhedral, while apical cells are squamous, surface cells are alive and kept moist F: protection of underlying tissue L: oral cavity, part of pharynx, esophagus, vagina and anus |
keratinized stratified squamous | C: multiple layers or cells, basal cells typically are cuboidal or polyhedral, while apical cells are squamous; more superficial cells are dead and filled with keratin F: protection of underlying tissue L: epidermis of skin |
NON CILIATED PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR | L: RARE; LINES EPIDIDMYMIS AND PART OF MALE URETHA |
Skeletal Muscle | C: fibers are long, cylindrical, striated, parallel and un branched. F: moves skeleton; responsible for voluntary body movement, locomotion, heat production L: attaches to bones or sometimes to skin (facial, muscles) also in sphincters-lips, urethra, anus |
cardiac muscle tissue | C: cells are short, bifurcated and straited, with one or two centrally located nuclei, intercalated discs between cells F: involuntary contraction and relaxation pump blood in heart L: heart wall (myocardium) |
smooth muscle tissue | C: cells are fusiform, short, nonstriated, and contain one centrally located nucleas F: involuntary movements and motion; moves materials through internal organs L: walls of hollow internal organs, such as vessels, airways, stomach, bladder, uterus |
