Skeletal muscle
Striated; movement and stability
Smooth muscle
Smoother looking; found in hollow organs, veins. Helps propel substances along pathways
Cardiac muscle tissue
Intercalated Discs; propels blood into blood stream, walls of heart
Striated muscle tissue
Skeletal and cardiac muscle. Has sarcomeres in this tissue.
Non striated muscle tissue
“Smooth muscle tissue” in hollow organs and don’t have sarcomeres
Intercalated Discs
In cardiac muscle tissue between myocardial cells
Nervous tissue
Has neurons that help transmit signals through body. In brain, nerves, spinal cord
Axon
Where signal is generated
Dendrite
Increases surface area for receptors to receive signal
Areolar connective tissue
Hair like tissue located around epithelial tissue. Wraps around organs and protects them.
Adipose connective tissue
Bubble like tissue. Located in eyeballs bones abdomen. Reserves food fuel and helps with heat loss.
Reticular connective tissue
Found in lymph nodes bones spleen. Reticular cells dominate
Dense irregular connective tissue
Looks like really smooth tissue. Made from elastic and collagen fibers. Located in joints and capsules of organs
Dense regular connective tissue
Looks like a bunch of scribbles close together. Collagen fibers and connects muscle to bones. Located in tendons ligaments and aponeuroses
Hyaline cartilage connective tissue
Looks like eyes. Found in nose ear and trachea. Supports. Made of chondrocytes
Elastic cartilage connective tissue
Looks like eyes but not together. External ear and flexible and support
