    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
