LAB- Classification of Tissues Flashcards
Location and Function of
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Absorption and Secretion
Air sacs of lungs
Location and Function of Simple Cuboidal
Absorption and Secretion
Kidney Tubules
Location and Function of Simple Columnar
Absorption and Secretion
Digestive Tract
Hint: Microvilli- Small intestine
Location and Function of Pseudostratified Columnar
Too thick for absorption and secretion, plays a protective role in respiratory tract
Trachea
Upper Part of respiratory tract
Stratisfied Squamous Epithelium
Protection
Skin
Cutaneous Membrane

Upper Part of respiratory tract
Location and Function of Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Protection
Skin
Cutaneous Membrane
Areolar Tissue (proper CT)
Support
Protection
Deep to Epidermis
Walls of Hollow Organs
Membranes Lining Body Cavities
Adipose Tissue (proper CT)
Heat, Fuel and Protection
Everywhere
Reticular Connective Tissue (proper CT)
Looks like grapes on a branch under microscope
Immunity
bone marrow
Dense Regular Connective Tissue (proper CT)
Looks like a pic of the sea if it was pink
Strength in one direction
Tendons
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue (proper CT)
Looks like a pink “starry night” by Picaso. PInk swirls going in all directions
Structural Strength
Forms Capsules around Organs and Joints
Blood (specialized CT)
Looks like plasma with cells, but they have no nuclei
THAT IS YOUR HINT!
Transportation
Blood Vessels
Hyaline Cartilage (specialized CT)
Looks like eyes peering through the dark
Bounce and Resilience
Between the ribs
Elastic Cartilage (specialized CT)
Looks like a bunch of ears
Stretch
Located in the Aorta
Fibrocartilage (specialized CT)
Strongest Cartilage
Absorbs compression
Vertebrae and knees
Osseous/Bone (specialized CT)
Looks like cut tree stumps
Support, Protection, Leverage for movement
Located in bones
Nervous Tissue
Look for long arms coming off cell bodies
Sending and receiving electrical messages
Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
VERY long cells that extend entire length of the muscle. Multinucleate
Contraction
Attached to skeleton
Smooth Muscle Tissue
Has many layers so you will see many nuclei on a slide but NO striations.
Involuntary contraction
Hollow Organs
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Can see Striated cells with visible intercalated discs
Involuntary Contraction
Heart
