Types of muscle tissue
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Types of membranes
Mucous
Serous
Cutaneous
Simple squamous epithelium
-Flat & thin
-Lines blood vessels (endothelium), alveoli, thoracic & abdominal cavities
Stratified squamous epithelium
-Found in areas of wear; mouth, esophagus, vagina, rectum (unkeratinized); epidermis (keratinized)
Simple cuboidal epithelium
-Absorption & secretion
-Active part of glands/ducts, ovary surface, kidney tubules
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
-Lines sweat ducts, salivary & mammary glands
Simple columnar epithelium + microvilli
-Absorption & secretion
-Line GI tract
-Associates with goblet cells
Simple columnar epithelium + cilia
-Lines bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus
Stratified columnar epithelium
-Mammary ducts, male urethra
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
-Ciliated
-Resp tract
Transitional epithelium
-Allows distention
-Bladder, uterus, urethra
Glandular epithelium
-Secrete products (“glands”)
Endocrine vs exocrine glands
Endocrine = ductless glands that secrete hormones directly into bloodstream
Exocrine = have ducts and secrete onto an epithelial surface
Types of loose connective tissue
Areolar
Adipose
Reticular
Types of dense connective tissue
Regular
Irregular
Elastic
Types of cartilage
Hyaline
Elastic
Fibrocartilage
Hyaline cartilage
-Nose, trachea, larynx, articular and costal cartilage, embryonic skeleton
Elastic cartilage
-Pinna, auditory canal, epiglottis
