Epithelium Type:
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Location:
Epithelia lining blood vessels, and alveoli of lungs.
Function:
Reduces friction, controls membrane permeability, and performs absorption and secretion

Where is this Tissue Located?
Tissue Type:
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Location:
Surface of the skin, Lining of the mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, anus, and vagina.
Function:
Provides physical protection against abrasion, pathogens, and chemical attack.

Tissue Type:
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Located:
Glands, ducts, portions of kidney tubules, and thyroid gland.
Functions:
Limited protection, secretion and absorption.

Location:
Lining of the stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes, and collecting ducts of kidneys.
Functions:
Protection, Secretion, and absorption.

Tissue Type:
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Location:
Lining of the nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, and portions of the male reproductive tract.
Functions:
Protection, secretion, and moving mucus with cilia.

Tissue type:
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Location:
Small areas of the pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary glands, salivary gland ducts, and urethra.
Functions:
Protection.
Villi
Location and Description
Location:
Most prevalent in the mouth of the small intestine and become less common throughout.
Description:
Tiny hair like protrusions present in the small intestine that are responsible for increasing surface aera.
Cilia
Location and Description
Location:
Most commonly found in the lungs
Description:
Small slender like hair protrusions found on the apical surface of some cells.
Loose Connective Tissue
The type of connective tissue that joins nerve, epithelial, and muscle cells.
What type of Tissue is this?
Where is it located?
Tissue Type:
Areolar Tissue
Location:
Within and deep to the dermis of skin, and covered by the epithelial lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts. As well as between muscles, around joints, blood vessels, and nerves.
Functions:
Cushions organs, provides support but permits independent movement, phagocytic cells provide defense against pathogens.

Where is this tissue located?
Tissue Type:
Adipose Tissue
Locations:
Deep to the skin, especially at the sides, buttocks, breasts. As well as padding around the eyes and kidneys.
Functions:
Provides padding and cushions shocks. Insulates, and stores energy.

Tissue Type:
Reticular Tissue
Locations:
Liver, Kidney, Spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
Functions:
Provides supporting framework.
Dense connective tissue.
Dense Connective tissue:
A type of connective tissue in which fibers are its main matrix element.
What type of tissue is this?
Where is this tissue located?
Tissue Type:
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Locations:
Between skeletal muscles and skeletal structure (tendon). Between skeletal bones or stabilizing internal organs (ligaments). Between skeletal muscles (aponeuroses).
Functions:
Provides firm attachments, conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction between muscles, and stabilizes position of bones.
