37
Simple Squamous Epithelium: Function
Allows passage of materials by diffusion, secretes lubricating substances in serosae
38
Simple Squamous Epithelium: Location
Found in air sacs of the lungs, lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lining of the ventral body cavity
39
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: Function
Secretion and absorption
40
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: Location
Found in lining of kidney tubules, ducts, and secretory portions of small glands
41
Simple Columnar Epithelium: Function
Absorption, secretion of mucous, and enzymes
42
Simple Columnar Epithelium: Location
Found lining most of the digestive tract
43
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium: Function
Secretion of mucous, propulsion of mucous by ciliary action
44
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium: Location
Found lining the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract
45
Stratified Squamous Epithelium: Function
Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion
46
Stratified Squamous Epithelium: Location
Found in moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
47
Transitional Epithelium: Function
Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ
48
Transitional Epithelium: Location
Found in lining of ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra
49
Areolar Connective Tissue: Function
Wraps and cushions organs, plays an important role in inflammation and holds and conveys tissue fluid.
50
Areolar Connective Tissue: Location
Found widely distributed uder the epithelia of body
51
Adipose Tissue: Function
Provides reserve food fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs
52
Adipose Tissue: Location
Under skin, around kineys and within abdomen and breasts
53
Hyaline Cartilage: Function
Supports, reinforces, cushions, and resists compressive stress
54
Hyaline Cartilage: Location
Covers the ends of long bones, forms coastal cartilage of ribs and cartilages of nose, trachea and larynx
55
Elastic Cartilage: Function
Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
56
Elastic Cartilage: Location
Supports the external ear and epiglottis
57
Fibrocartilage: Function
High tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock
58
Fibrocartilage: Location
Connective tissue found in the Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis and the discs of the knee joint
59
Blood: Function
Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes and other substances
60
Blood: Location
Found within the blood vessel
61
Bone (Osseous Tissue): Function
Supports and protects, provides levers for the muscles to act on, stores calcium and other minerals and fat. Bone marrow is the site of RBC production
62
Cardiac Muscle Tissue: Function
As it contracts it propels blood into circulation
63
Cardiac Muscle Tissue: Location
The walls of the heart
64
Skeletal Muscle Tissue: Function
Voluntary movement, locomotion, manipulation of environment, facial expressions and voluntary control
65
Skeletal Muscle Tissue: Location
In skeletal muscle attached to bones or occasionally to skin
66
Smooth Muscle Tissue: Function
Moves substances (food stuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways. Involuntary control
67
Smooth Muscle Tissue: Location
Mainly in the walls of hollow organs (bladder)
68
Nervous Tissue: Function
Transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors
69
Nervous Tissue: Location
Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
