Function: secretion and absorption
Simple columnar
Location: uterine tubes, gallbladder
Function: secretion & absorption
Ciliated and non ciliated
Stratified squamous
Location: keratinized- skin and non-keratinized - esophagus
Function: protects underlying tissues subjected to abrasion
Pseudostratified
Location: Ciliated- upper respiratory (trachea) Non-Ciliated: ducts and duct large glands
Function: secretion
Transitional
Location: Lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra
Function: stretches
Cardiac Muscle
Location: Heart
Function: Contractility
Smooth Muscle
Location: found in organs
Function: involuntary movement
Skeletal Muscle
Location: attached to skeleton
Function: voluntary movement
Neuron
Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves
Function: transmit electrical signals
Neuroglia
support the neurons by cleaning them up, protect them, and insulate them
Loose Connective Areolar
Location: widely distributed in the skin, surrounds capillaries
Function: wraps and cushions organs, INFLAMMATION, holds and conveys tissue fluid
Loose Connective Adipose
Location: underneath skin, around kidneys and eyeballs, within abdomen, and in breasts
