- Front
- Back
location: under skin, around kidneys and eyeballs; within abdomen; in breasts.
|
adipose CT
|
|
function: reserve fuel, insulation against heat loss, supports&protects organs
|
adipose CT
|
|
location: Widely distributed under epithelia of body, e.g., forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds blood vessels.
|
areolar CT
|
|
function: Wraps and cushions organs; its macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays important role in inflamation; holds and conveys tissue fluid.
|
areolar CT
|
|
location: Contained within blood vessels.
|
blood (mostly RBCs, a few WBCs)
|
|
function: Transportation of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances.
|
blood (mostly RBCs, a few WBCs)
|
|
location: bones
|
bone
|
|
function: Supports and protects (by enclosing); provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones in the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis).
|
bone
|
|
location: The walls of the heart.
|
cardiac muscle
|
|
function: As it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control.
|
cardiac muscle
|
|
location: Tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses.
|
dense regular CT
|
|
function: Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.
|
dense regular CT
|
|
location: Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis.
|
elastic cartilage
|
|
function: Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility.
|
elastic cartilage
|
|
location: Intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint.
|
fibrocartilage
|
|
function: Tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock.
|
fibrocartilage
|
|
location: Forms most of the embryonic skeleton; covers the ends of long bones in joint caveties; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx.
|
hyaline cartilage
|
|
function: Supports and reinforces; has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress.
|
hyaline cartilage
|
|
location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
|
nervous
|
|
function: Transmit electrical signals: from sensory receptors, to effectors (muscles and glands); and between other neurons.
|
nervous
|
|
location: Nonciliated type in male's sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the upper respiratory tract.
|
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
|
|
function: Secretion, particularly of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action.
|
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
|
|
location: Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated veriety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.
|
simple columnar epithelium
|
|
function: Absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliary action.
|
simple columnar epithelium
|
|
location: Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface.
|
simple cuboidal epithelium
|
|
location: Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae).
|
simple squamous epithelium
|
|
function: Allows passage of materials by diffustion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae
|
simple squamous epithelium
|
|
location: In the skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin.
|
skeletal muscle
|
|
function: Voluntary movement; locomotion; manipulation of the environment; facial expression; voluntary control.
|
skeletal muscle
|
|
location: Mostly in the walls of hollow organs.
|
smooth muscle
|
|
function: Propels substances or objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways; involuntary control.
|
smooth muscle
|
|
location: Nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.
|
stratified squamous epithelium
|
|
function: Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion.
|
stratified squamous epithelium
|
|
location: Lines the ureters, bladder and part of the urethra.
|
transitional epithelium
|
|
function: Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine.
|
transitional epithelium
