Tissue Types of the Body

Nervous Tissue (spinal cord)

coordinating and controlling many body activities

brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Muscle

Smooth

walls of hollow organs like your intestines and stomach

contract to push food through your body

Cardiac

heart

performs coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system

Skeletal

uses tendons to connect the epimysium to the periosteum, or outer covering, of bone

between bones

Connective

Hyaline cartilage

covers ends of joints, nose and respiratory passages, serves as padding

helps hold the body together

Elastic cartilage

External Ear and Larynx

shaping the folds which efficiently channel sound waves towards the inner ear

Blood Tissue

transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide

blood vessels

Adipose Tissue (fat)

Protective cushion insulation to preserve body heat Stores energy

Bone Tissue (Osseous)

locomotion, support and protection

skeleton

Fibrocartilage

between vertebrae

shock absorbing

Loose Connective Tissue or Areolar Tissue

Binds underlying organs to skin and to each other

throughout body

Fibrous Dense Connective Tissue

support

dermis, tendons, ligaments

Epithelial

Stratified Columnar

conjunctiva inside the eyelids and areas of tissue transition

protection and mucous secretion

Stratified Cuboidal

secretion and protection

salivary glands, kidney tubules, sweat glands

Glandular Epithelium

saliva

specialized to secrete substances They make up the glands

Transitional Epithelium

Blocks diffusion

urinary bladder

Pseudostratified Columnar

Secretion and cilia-aided movement

lining air passages and tubes of the reproductive system

Stratified Squamous

lining body cavities; skin and mouth

protection

Simple Columnar

digestive tract and uterus

ecretion and absorption

Simple Cuboidal

kidneys tubules, ducts and covering the ovaries

Secretion and absorption

Simple Squamous

diffusion and filtration

capillaries, alveoli, glomeruli, and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required

flat/thin
