Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue is responsible for absorption and secretion
- Simple squamous epithelium is specialized for diffusion and filtration
- Transitional epithelium is found in the urinary bladder
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is found in the respiratory passages
- Stratified squamous epithelium is found in the skin
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue provides support and protection
- Dense regular connective tissue is responsible for providing structural support and shock absorption
- Areolar tissue provides support and protection
- Hyaline cartilage is responsible for providing structural support and shock absorption
- Dense irregular connective tissue is found in the skin dermis
- Reticular tissue forms the framework of the spleen and lymph nodes
- Loose (areolar) connective tissue provides support and protection
Muscle Tissue
- Nervous tissue senses stimuli and transmits signals
- Skeletal muscle tissue is striated and voluntary
- Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs like the stomach and intestines
- Cardiac muscle tissue is found in the heart
Adipose Tissue
- Adipose tissue is responsible for storage of energy and insulation
Cartilage
- Cartilage is responsible for support and protection
Blood
- Blood is responsible for transporting gases, nutrients, and waste products
Bone Tissue
- Bone tissue is responsible for support and protection
Other Tissues
- Simple columnar epithelium lines the inner surface of blood vessels and forms the lining of the heart
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in the kidney tubules
