Simple Squamous

Location: kidney glomeruli, lung alveoli

Function(lungs): rapid diffusion of substances

Function(kidneys): filter blood to control blood solute content

Simple Cuboidal

Function:Secretion of wastes into urine and reabsorption of nutrients into blood

Location:Renal tubules(Kidney)

Simple Columnar

Function:Absorb nutrients through cell membrane and secretion of mucous and digestive enzymes

Location: Digestive Tract

Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium

Location:Trachea, Upper Respiratory Tract

Function:Protects lungs by secreting mucous to trap airborne particulate matter and uses cilia to sweep it away from the lungs

Keratinized Stratified Squamous 

Location: epidermis(skin)

Function: protects underlying tissues in areas with high risk of abrasion

Areolar Connective Tissue 

Location:surrounds all internal organs

Function:Wraps and cushions organs. Holds and conveys tissue fluid

Reticular

Location: lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen

Function:Fibers form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types like white blood cells, mast cells and macrophages.

Dense Regular

Location: ligaments and tendons

Function:

attaches muscles to bone or to muscles

attaches bones to bones

withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.

Dense Irregular

Location:

fibrous capsules of organs and of joint

submucosa of digestive tract

dermis of skin

Function:able to withstand tension exerted in many directions

provides structural strength

Hyaline

Location: end of bones

trachea

nose

larynx

Function:

Supports and reinforces bone, nose, and trachea 

Resists compression

Bone

Location: bone

Function:

Supports and protects internal organs

Provides levers for the muscles to act on

Stores calcium and other minerals and fat

Marrow inside bones is site for blood cell formation

Neuron

Location: brain, spinal cord, and nerves

Function: body sensors and controllers

Skeletal Muscle

Location: attached to bones

Function: contraction moves bone levers, alters facial expression, and heats body to optimal temperature

Cardiac Muscle

Location: walls of heart

Function: contraction moves blood

Smooth Muscle

Location: walls of hollow organs (intestine, blood vessels, uterus)

Function: contraction propels substances through hollow tubes

Blood

Location: Within blood vessels

Function: transport respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes and other substances
