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

3 Facts:

Location: Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system

Function: Transmit impulses

Nervous

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

Keratinized surfaces are protected by Keratin

Divided into two parts Keratinized and non-keratinized

3 Facts:

Function: Protects underlying tissue in areas subject to abrasion

Location: Esophagus and mouth

Squamos

Location: Small amounts in male urethra and in large glands

It is a very rare type of epithelial tissue

composed of column shaped cells arranged in multiple different layers

2 Facts:

Function: Protection and secretion

Columnar

Facts: Made up of multiple layers of cube shaped cells

Function: Protection

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

Cubiodal

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

Location: Mouth, Anal Canal and Mouth

Facts: Single layer of flat cells in contact with the basement membrane

Squamos

Function: Secretion and absorbtion

Location: Kidney tubules, small galnds and ovary surface

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

2 Facts:

Cubiodal

Location: Anal canal, stomach, gallbladder and uterine tubes

Non-ciliated are found lining the gastrointestinal tract

Ciliated moves mucus and is in the upper respiratory tract

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

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

Facts:

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

Columnar

Stratified

Simple

Epithelial

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

Location: Bones

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

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by collagen fibers called tendons

Under control of the somatic nervous system

3 facts:

Skeletal

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.

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

Involuntary non striated muscle

Location: Hallow organs

3 facts:

Function: Creates movement in hallow organs

Smooth

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

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

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

3 facts:

Function: Movement and contraction of the heart

Location: Heart

Cardiac

Muscle

Adipose tissue is more commonly known as body fat

Loos connetive tissue made up of adopoctyes

Facts

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

Function: Insulates, protects and supports organs. Stores energy

Adipose

Location: Bone

Function: Provides support and protects the organs

red bone marrow is found in the spongy bone

filled with central canals which are surrounded by cells

Facts:

Bone

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

Three different types of cartilage, Hyline, elastic and Fibrocartilage

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

Facts:

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

Catilidge

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

Location: Blood

Facts: contains proteins mixed with water to make gel

Blood

Specialized

Function: Helps pump blood throughout the body

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

Elastic

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

Function: Connection and protection

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

Regular

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

Facts: Fibroblast cells are in the loose connective tissue and they secrete strong fibrous proteins

Loose Connective

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

Location: Lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow

Reticular

Function: Withstand tension and provide stuctural strength

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

Irregular

Dense

Fibrous

Connective
