Dense Irregular Fibrous

• in the dense irregular fibrous tissue the bundles of fiber aren’t I parallel rows

• the fibers intertwine to form a thick mat of strong connective tissue

• it can withstand stresses applied from any direction

• it forms the strong inner skin layer called the dermis

• it also forms the outer capsule of such as the kidney and the spleen

Bone Tissue

• it is one of the most highly specialized tissues

• the mature bone cells are called osteocytes; they embedded in a unique matrix material containing both organic collagen material and mineral salts

• the inorganic bone salt is responsible for the hardness of the bone

Hyaline Cartilage

• this is the most prevalent type of cartilage

• it is found in the support rings in the respiratory tubes

• also covering the ends of the bones that articulate at joints

Fibrocartilage

• the strongest, most durable cartilage

• fibrocartilage disks serve as shock absorbers

• the matrix is rigid and is packed with strong white collagen fibers

Simple Squamous

• One layer of flat, scale-like cells

• Easily permeable• Found in alveoli

Stratified Squamous

• Multiple layers of cells

• Flattened squamous cells at outer surface

• Contain Keratin which contributes to the protective qualities ©7

Transitional Tissue

• Contains cells that are flattened

• Contains cells that are cuboidal

• Lines urinary passages

© 8

Simple Columnar

• Lines stomach, intestine, uterus

• Single layer of cells• Goblet cells, cilia,

and microvilli

©9

Stratified Columnar

• Lining air passages• Single layer of

irregularly shaped cells

• Not all cells reach top and bottom

Pseudostratified

Lines the air passages of the respiratory system (1) page 129

Only a single layer of irregularly shaped columnar cells touches the basement membrane (1) page 129

Mucus-secreting goblet cells are numerous and cilia are present (1) page 129

Simple Cuboidal

One layer of cuboidal cells resting on a basement membrane (1) page 128

Seen in many types of glands and their ducts (1) page 128

Also found in the kidney (1) page 128

Stratified Cuboidal

Serves a protective function (1) page 130

Can be located in the sweat gland ducts, in the pharynx, and over parts of the epiglottis (1) page 130

Grandular

Specialized for secretory activity (1) page 131

Depends on the complex and highly regulated cellular activities requiring the expenditure of stored energy (1) page 131

Smooth Muscle Tissue

In walls of tubular viscera of digestive, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts.

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

In the Wall of the heart and its function deals with contractions of the heart

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

located in the muscles that attach to bones, extrinsic eyeball muscles, upper third esophagus. The functions include movement of the bones, eye movements, and first part of swallowing.

Nervous Tissue

Located in the brain, spinal cord, nerves. Functions include excitability conduction.

Elastic Cartilage

located in the external part if the ear and the Eustachian tube. Function is to provide structure.

Blood

located in the blood vessels main function is to transport and protect

Loose ordinary fibrous

Stretchable

Most widely distributed tissue

A lot of space in between the fibers

Adipose

Fat

Forms supporting protective pads around the kidneys and other structures.

Storage deposit for extra food

Acts as an insulating material to conserve body heat

Reticular

Resembles a net or web

Forms the framework of the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow

Filters injurious substances out of the blood and lymph, and the reticular cells engulf and destroy them.

Dense Regular connective tissue

Consists of fibers packed densely in the matrix

Bundles of fibers are arranged in regular, parallel rows

Bundles of collagenous fibers and is flexible but possesses great tensile strength
