What are examples of epithelial tissue?
blood vessel linings
digestive track lining
Where are epithelial tissue found?
Blood vessels
Digestive track lining
Explain the characteristics of epithelial tissue
simple squamous epithelium
allos material to diffuse in/out
Explain examples of connective tissue
Blood
bone
Explain location of connective tissue
Circulatory system
throughout body
Explain the characteristics of connective tissue
protect against infection
provide nutrients
provide support
rigid
Explain examples of muscular tissue
skeletal muscle
cardiac muscle
explain location of muscular tissue
throughout body
cardiovascular system (heart)
Explain the characteristics of muscular tissue
Skeletal = striated, voluntary
Cardiac = striated, involuntary
Explain examples of nervous tissue
peripheral nerves, brain
Explain the characteristics of nervous tissue
Peripheral nerves: roots and branches, sensory and motor outside spinal cord
Brain: information center, corticalization (wrinkled)
Explain the function and associated organs of the cardiovascular organ system
Function:
- Transport of nutrients
- Transport of oxygen
- Transport of hormones
Associated organs:
- Heart and blood vessels
Explain the function and associated organs of the lymphatic system
Function:
- Removal of interstitial fluid from tissue
- Absorbs and transports fatty acid and fats from digestive system
- Transports WBC to and from lymph nodes into the blood
Associated organs:
- Thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, ducts, cistenna chyli
Explain the function and associated organs of the Respiratory system
Function:
- Take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide
Associated organs:
- Lungs, airways, muscles of respiration
- (nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, branchi, brachioles)
Explain the function and associated organs of the Digestive system
Function:
- Digestion = breakdown food into small molecules
- absorbs nutrients
Associated organs:
- Digestive track = mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines and anus
Explain the function and associated organs of the Excretory system
Function:
- Discharge wastes produced by homeostasis
Associated organs:
- Kidneys, liver and large intestines
Explain the function and associated organs of the Reproductive system
Function:
- Produce gametes (egg or sperm cells)
- Protect and nourish offspring until birth
Associated Organs:
- Female: ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus, cervix, urithra
- Male: Testes, urithra, scrotum, spermatic ducts
Explain the function and associated organs of the Integumentary system
Function:
- Retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, regulate body temperature
Associated Function:
- Skin, hair, nails, glands and nerves

Leukocyte, granulocyte
50-70%
What is the function of this blood cell type?

neutrophil
Leukocyte, granulocyte
Function:
- active phagocyte, very abundant
What type of blood cell is this?

Erythrocyte (RBC)
What type of blood cell is this?

Eosinophil
Leukocyte, granulocyte
2-4%
(large, deep red, hard to find)
What type of blood cell is this?

basophil
Leukocyte, granulocyte
<1%

Leukocyte, agranulocytes
25-30%
small and large pink nuc
