simple squamous epi (location & function)
location: bowmen’s capsule (kidney), lung, lining of organs, lining of blood vessels
function: diffusion, secretion, absorption, filtration
simple cuboidal epi (location & function)
location: kidney, ovaries
function: absorption, secretion
simple columnar epi (location & function)
location: stomach, large intestine, small intestine, ovary surface, gallbladder
function: absorption, secretion
pseudostratified columnar epithelium (location & function)
location: trachea, back of nasal cavity, sperm ducts
function: secretion
stratified squamous epithelium non-keratinized (location & function)
location: esophagus, lining of cheeks
function: protecting underlying structures
stratified squamous epithelium keratinized (location & function)
location: human skin, gums
function: protects underlying structures
transitional epithelium (location & function)
location: lining of bladder, urinary tract, ureters
function: allows for stretch of structures
loose areolar C.T. (location & function)
location: wrapped around organs/muscle tissue
function: gives resiliency, prevents tearing
adipose C.T. (location & function)
location: around eyeball, breast tissue, underarm
function: store energy, protection, temporal regulation
dense regular C.T. (location & function)
location: tendons, ligaments
function: supports and protects
dense irregular C.T. (location & function)
location: dermis (skin), under general epi.
function: provides strength and support
hyaline cartilage (location & function)
location: trachea, ends of long bones
function: reduces friction (joint protection), stiff but flexible support
reticular C.T. (location & function)
location: lymph nodes, spleen, liver
function: gives organs structure
elastic C.T. (location & function)
location: aorta, artery vein, large blood vessels
function: allows recoil of tissue (stretching)
fibrocartilage (location & function)
location: between joint spaces ( vertebrae & knee pads)
function: shock absorption, support
elastic cartilage (location & function)
location: outer ear, epiglottis
function: flexible structure
osseous/bone tissue (location & function
location: femur, ribs, humerus
function: structural (supports the body)
