Tissue Concept Map

Simple

Squamos

Location:
Mouth, Anal Canal and Mouth

Function:
Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important

3 Facts:

Single layer of flat cells in contact with the basement membrane

Cubiodal

Function:
Secretion and absorbtion

Location:
Kidney tubules, small galnds and ovary surface

3 Facts:

A single layered epithelium made up of cube like cells. The cells have large, spherical, and central nuclei

The cells either are active or passive depending on the location

Columnar

Location:
Anal canal, stomach, gallbladder and uterine tubes

Facts:

It is a uni-layered epithelium meaning that it has one layer to it

Simple columnar epithelium are split into two parts, Ciliated and non-ciliated

Ciliated moves mucus and is in the upper respiratory tract

Non-ciliated are found lining the gastrointestinal tract

Function:
Abosrbtion, secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances

Stratified

Squamos

3 Facts:

Divided into two parts Keratinized and non-keratinized

Keratinized surfaces are protected by Keratin

Non-Keratinized surfaces do not have Keratin so they must be kept moist by bodily secretions

Location:
Esophagus and mouth

Function:
Protects underlying tissue in areas subject to abrasion

Columnar

Function:
Protection and secretion

3 Facts:

composed of column shaped cells arranged in multiple different layers

It is a very rare type of epithelial tissue

Location:
Small amounts in male urethra and in large glands

Cubiodal

Function:
Protection

Location:
Large ducts of sweat glands,mammary glands and salviary glands

Facts:

Made up of multiple layers of cube shaped cells

Fibrous

loose connective

Facts:

fibroblast cells are in the loose connective tissue and they secrete strong fibrous proteins

Location:
Between tissues and organs,
superficial fascia, and under epithelial
tissue

Function:
Most widespread connective
tissue; contains all cell and
fiber framework; makes
up volume

Dense

Irregulaur

Function:
Withstand tension and provide stuctural strength

Location:
Fibrous capsules of
organs and joints and dermis of skin

Regulaur

Location:
tendons, ligaments, ligaments between vertebrae,
along dorsal neck and vocal cords

Function:
Connection and protection

Reticular

Function:
Forms structural framework of organs
like lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.

Location:
Lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow

Elastic

Location:
Lungs; between vertebrae
of spinal column, ligaments
suporting penis and transitional
epithelia, blood vessel walls, permits expansion
and contractions of organs

Function:
Helps pump blood throughout
the body

Specialized

Bone

Function:
Provides support and protects
the organs

Location:
Bone

Facts:

filled with central canals which are surrounded by cells

red bone marrow is found in the spongy bone

Catilidge

Location:
Tips of ribs, sternum, larynx,
trachea, bronchi and part of
nasal septum

Function:
Provides stiff but somewhat flexible support and
reduces friction between bony surfaces

Facts:

contains a lot of elastic protein fibers which makes it very flexable

Three different types of cartilage, Hyline, elastic and Fibrocartilage

Blood

Facts:

contains proteins mixed with water to make gel

Location:
Blood

Function:
Transports oxygen through the body,
helps with immune system and protects
the body from infection and disease

Adipose

Location:
Under the skin, around kidneys
and eyes, in abdoman and in
breats

Function:
Insulates, protects and
supports organs.
Stores energy

Facts

loos connetive tissue made up of adopoctyes

Adipose tissue is more commonly known as body fat

Smooth

3 facts:

Involuntary non striated muscle

Smooth muscle tissue are found within the walls of blood vessels also in the male and female reproductive tracts

Either the whole muscle contracts or the whole muscle relaxes. That is the case with this tissue and it is called being of the single unit variety.

Function:
Creates movement in hallow organs

Location:
Hallow organs

Cardiac

Function:
Movement and contraction
of the heart

3 facts:

The cardiac muscle is found on the walls and histological foundation of the heart

The cells that the Cardiac muscle are made up of only have three nuclei

The Cardiac muscle cells unlike most other tissues depend on blood to deliver blood and nutrients while getting rid of Carbon Dioxide

Location:
Heart

Skeletal

Location:
Bones

Function:
Produce skeletal movement, supports
soft tissue, stores nutrients etc.

3 facts:

Under control of the somatic nervous system

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by collagen fibers called tendons

Every organelle of a muscle fiber is arranged to ensure form meets function

Function:
Transmit impulses

3 Facts:

Made up of two part; the brain and the spinal cord

composed of neurons and neuroglia which transmit and receive impulses

made up of many different types of nerve cells which transmit potential action signals to the next cell

Location:
Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
