Simple Squamous Epithelium

Allows passage of materials by diffusion, secretes lubricating substances in serosae. Found in air sacs of the lungs, lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lining of the ventral body cavity

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Secretion and absorption. Found in kidney tubules, ducts, and secretory portions of small glands

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Absorption, secretion of mucous, and enzymes. Found lining most of the digestive tract.

Psedostratified Columnar Epithelium

Secretion of mucous, propulsion of mucous by ciliary action. Found lining the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion. Found in moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina

Transitional Epithelium

Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ. Found in lining of ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra.

Areolar Conective Tissue

Wraps and Cushions organs, Plays an important role in inflammation and holds and conveys tissue fluid. It is found widely distributed under the epithelia of body.

Adipose Tissue (Fat)

Provides reserve food fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs. Found under skin, around kidneys and within abdomen and breasts.

Hyaline Cartilage

Supports, reinforces, cushions and, resists compressive stress. Covers the ends of long bones, forms coastal cartilage of ribs and cartilages of nose, trachea and, larynx.

Elastic Cartilage

Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility. Supports the external ear and epiglottis.

Fibrocartilage

High tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock. This connective tissue is found in the Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis and the discs of the knee joint.
 

Blood

Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes and other substances. Found within the blood vessels

Osseoustissue (Bone)

Bone Supports and Protects: Provides levers For The Muscles to Act on, Stores Calcium and Other Minerals and Fat. Bone Marrow is the Site of Red Blood Cell Production.

Cardio Muscle Tissue

               Arrows Denote Intercalated Discs

As it contracts, it propels blood into circulation. Located in the walls of the heart

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Voluntary movement, locomotion, manipulation of environment, facial expressions and voluntary control. Located in skeletal muscle attached to bones or occasionally to skin.

Smooth Muscle Tissue  

Moves substances (food stuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways. Involuntary control. Located mainly in the walls of hollow organs.

Nerve Tissue

Transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors. Location: Brain, Spinal cord and, Nerves
