TISSUE TYPE Simple Squamous Epithelium Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Simple columnar Epithelium

LOCATION Air sacs, lining of heart blood vessels, lining of ventral body cavity, (serosae) Kidney tubules, ducts, small glands

Nonciliated: lines digestive tract, gall bladder, excretory ducts of some glands Ciliated: line small bronchi, uterine tubes some of uterus Psuedostratified Nonciliated: sperm ducts Columnar Ciliated: lines trachea Epithelium and upper respiratory tract Nonkernatinized: Stratified moist lining of Squamous esophagus, mouth epithelium and vagina Kernatinized : epidermis of skin, dry membranes

DESCRIPTION 1 layer of fatten cells, disc shaped, central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm 1 layer of cube like cells, large spherical central nuclei 1 layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei, some have cilia; layers may contain mucus secreting unicellular glands. 1 layer of cells of different hts, nuclei seen at different levels may bear mucus secreting cells or cilia. 2 or more layers of metabolically active membrane, surface cells are squamous & deeper layers are cuboidal or columnar. Keratinized are full of keratin and are dead. Basal cells are active in mitosis produce cells of more superficial layers

CELLS FUNCTION Squamous Allows passage of material by diffusion and epithelium cells filtration in sites where protection is not important, secrete lubricating substance in serosae Simple Secretion and Absorption cuboidal epithelium cells Goblet , simple Absorption, secrete mucus, enzymes; ciliated columnar propel mucus or reproductive cells by ciliary epithelium, action. reproductive cells

Pseudostratified Secretion, mucus propulsion by ciliary action columnar epithelium

Basal cells, squamous cells

Protects underlying tissue in areas of subjected abrasion

TISSUE TYPE Stratified Columnar Epithelium

LOCATION Male urethra & large ducts of some glands

Traditional Epithelium

Lines the ureters urinary bladder part of urethra

Embryonic connective tissue: Mesenchyme

Embryo

Connective Tissue Proper: Loose Connective tissue Areolar Connective Tissue Proper: Loose Connective tissue: ADIPOSE

Under Epithelia of body, packages organs, surrounds capillaries

DESCRIPTION Several cell layers, basal cells usually cuboidal superficial cells of elongated and columnar Resembles both stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal basal cells, cuboidal or columnar surface cells, dome shaped, or squamous like, depending on degree of organ stretch Embryonic connective tissue , gel like ground substance containing fibers, star shaped mesenchyme cells Gel like matrix, all three fiber types,

CELLS FUNCTION Basal cells, Protection & secretion stratified columnar epithelium cells Basal cells, cuboidal or columnar Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine.

Mesenchyme cells

Arises during early weeks of embryonic development and eventually differentiates (specialize) into all other connect tissue.

Fibroblasts, macrophages, mast, and some wbc

Wraps and cushions organs, plays role in inflammation process holds and convey tissue fluid

Under skin, around kidneys, eyeballs; within abdomen, and in breast

Matrix as in areolar, very sparse closely packed adipocytes or fat cells have nucleus pushed to side by large fat droplets

Adipocytes

Provides reserve fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs.

TISSUE TYPE Connective Tissue Proper: Loose Connective tissue: RETICULAR Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Connective Tissue: DENSE REGULAR Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Connective tissue: Dense IRREGULAR Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Connective tissue: Elastic Hyaline Cartilage

LOCATION Lymphatic organs

DESCRIPTION Network of reticular fibers in loose ground substances, cells lie on network

CELLS FUNCTION Reticular cell, Fibers form an internal skeleton stoma that WBC, mast, supports other cell types, macrophages

Tendons, ligaments

Parallel collagen fibers, a few elastic fibers

Fibroblast

Attaches to muscles to bones or to muscles, attaches bone to bone, withstand great tensile stress when pulling force is applied on direction.

Fibrous capsules of organs and joints, dermis of skin, submucosa of digestive tract Walls of large Arteries, within ligaments associated with vertebral column; within walls of bronchial tubes

Irregularly arranged collagen fibers, some elastic fibers

Fibroblast

Able to withstand tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength

DENSE REGULAR connective tissue contain high proportion of elastic fibers

Fibroblast

Allows recoiling of tissue following stretching, maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries, aids in passive recoil of lungs following inspiration.

TISSUE TYPE Elastic Cartilages

Fibrocartilage

LOCATION Forms most of embryonic skeleton, ends of long bones in joint cavities, forms costal cartilages of ribs, cartilages of nose, trachea and larynx External ear, epiglottis Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, discs of knee joints Bones

DESCRIPTION Amorphous but firm matrix, collagen fibers form an imperceptible network;

CELLS FUNCTION Chondroblasts, Support and reinforces, has resilient chondrocytes cushioning , resists compressive stress

Bone: Osseous tissue

Blood

Similar to hyaline cartilage, but more elastic fibers in matrix Similar but less firm than the hyaline cartilage, thick collagen fibers predominate Hard, calcified matrix contains many collagen fibers & vascularized Red and white cells within matrix plasma

Chondroblasts, chondrocytes Chondroblasts, chondrocytes

Maintains the shape of structure while allowing great flexibility Tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock

Osteocytes, Osteoblasts

Within blood vessels

RBC WBC

Supports and protects by enclosing, provides levers for muscles, stores calcium and minerals and fats, marrow inside bones is site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, other substances
