Question
Answer
simple squamous epithelium   Location: lining of heart Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae  
🗑
simple cuboidal epithelium   Location: Kidney tubules Function: Secretion and absorption  
🗑
simple columnar epithelium   Location: gallbladder Function: absorption; secretion of mucus enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus(or reproductive cells) by ciliary action  
🗑
pseuodostratified columnar epithelium   Location: ciliated variety lines the trachea Function: secretion, particularly of mucus; proplusion of mucus by ciliary action  
🗑
Connective tissue proper:Loose connective tissue, adipose   Location: under skin Function: provides reserve fuel; insulates against heat loss; supports and protects organs  
🗑
connective tissue proper:Loose connective tissue, areolar   Location: surrounds capillaries Function: wraps and cushions organs;its macrophages phagocutize bacteria;plays important role in inflammation; holds and conveys tissue fluid  
🗑
connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, reticular   Location: spleen function: fibers form a soft internal skeleton(stroma) that supports other cell types, including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages  
🗑
connective tissue proper:Dense connective tissue, dense regular(cells compact)   Location: tendons function: attaches muscles to bones or to muscles;attaches bone to bones;withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction  
🗑
connective tissue proper:Dense connective tissue,dense irregular   Location: Dermis of the skin Function: able to withstand tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength  
🗑
Blood   Location: contained within blood vessels function: transport of repiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances  
🗑
Giant multipolar neuron   location: brain Function: transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors(muscles and glands)which control their activity  
🗑
