1
Q

Simple Squamous Epithelium

A

LOCATIONS: Mesothelia lining pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities; endothelia lining heart and blood vessels; portions of kidney tubules (thin sections of nephron loops); inner lining of cornea; alveoli of lungs

FUNCTIONS: Reduces friction; controls vessel permeability; performsabsorption and secretion

Q

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

A

LOCATIONS: Surface of skin; lining of mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, anus, and vagina FUNCTIONS: Provides physical protection against abrasion, pathogens, and chemical attack

Q

Areolar Tissue

A

LOCATIONS: Within and deep to thedermis of skin, and covered by the epithelial lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts; between muscles; around joints, blood vessels, and nerves FUNCTIONS: Cushions organs; provides support but permits independent movement; phagocytic cells provide defense against pathogens

Q

Adipose Tissue

A

LOCATIONS: Deep to the skin, especially at sides, buttocks, and breasts; padding around eyes and kidneys FUNCTIONS: Provides padding and cushions shocks; insulates (reduces heat loss); stores energy

Q

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

A

LOCATIONS: Between skeletal muscles and skeleton (tendons and aponeuroses); between bones or stabilizing positions of internal organs (ligaments); covering skeletal muscles; deep fasciae FUNCTIONS: Provides firm attachment; conducts pull of muscles; reduces friction between muscles; stabilizes positions of bones

Q

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue

A

LOCATIONS: Capsules ofvisceral organs; periostea and perichondria; nerve and muscle sheaths; dermis FUNCTIONS: Provides strength to resist forces from many directions; helps prevent over expansion oforgans, such as the urinary bladder
