Anatomy Tissues

1. Tissues in the Body

2. Epithelial – Covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms glands. Connective – Protects and supports the body and its organs, binds organs, stores energy, and provides immunity. Muscular – Generates force to move body structures. Nervous – Transmits nerve impulse for communication. 4 Types of Tissues

3. Simple Squamous Epithelium : Allow materials to diffuse or filter into areas. Great for secretion, low on protection. Found in kidneys, air sacs of lungs, and blood vessels.

4. II. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium : Function for secretion and absorption. Found in kidney tubules and the surface of the ovary.

5. III. Simple Columnar Epithelium : For absorption, secretion of mucus and enzymes. Also can be used to move substances with cilia. Found in digestive tract, uterine tubes, and excretory ducts of glands.

6. IV. Stratified Squamous Epithelium : Protect underlying tissues. Esophagus, mouth, and skin

7. V. Loose Connective Tissue(Areolar) : Wraps and cushions organs, plays role in inflammation and fighting disease, and holds tissue fluid. Surrounds blood vessels and organs

8. VI. Loose Connective Tissue (Adipose): Provide energy when needed, insulation, and support/protect organs. Found under the skin, kidneys, and abdomen.

9. VII. Dense Connective Tissue (Regular): Attach muscle to bone, or bones to bones. Withstand stress in one direction. All tendons and ligaments.

10. VIII. Dense Irregular Connective Tissue: Withstand stress coming from many different directions. Fibrous organs and joints (shoulder) and dermis of skin

11. IX. Elastic Cartilage: Maintains shape while being flexible. Ear and epiglottis

12. X. You will need to know blood, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and nervous tissue as well.
