esophagus and vagina
protection
stratified squamous keritonized
skin
protection
stratified cuboidal
sweat glands
protection
stratified columnar
urethra
protection
reticular connective tissue
spleen and lymph nodes
provide structural support and form stroma
areolar connective tissue
under the dermis
holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other tissue
adipose connective tissue
greater omentum and around the eyes
store and release lipids/ protection
dense irregular connective tissue
skin dermis
structural strength/withstands tension
dense regular connective tissue
tendons and ligaments
binds skeletal muscle to bone and bone to bone
elastic connective tissue
skin, lungs, large arteries
stretch and recoil
compact osseous connective tissue
bone shaft
provides strength and protection to bones
spongy osseous connective tissue
short bones/epiphysis
provides strength and protection to bones
hyaline cartilage
in synovial joints
cushioning and minimize friction between ends of bone
elastic cartilage
ear/epiglottis
strength and elasticity, maintains shape of certain structures
fibrocartilage
between vertebra
provides tough material of intervertebral discs; absorb shock
blood connective tissue
in blood vessels
transports oxygen and nutrients/ clotting
lymph connective tissue
lymphatic vessels
immunity
skeletal muscle tissue
skeletal muscles
contraction moves bone
smooth muscle tissue
intestine/ blood vessels
contraction moves food in intestines
cardiac muscle tissue
heart
contraction moves blood
nervous tissue
brain/spinal cord
control the functions of the body
