- 1—major: connective
specific: blood
function: transports respiratory gases, nutrients, waste, hormones, and other substances.
location: contained within blood vessels - 2—major: connective
specific: elastic
Function: allows recoil of tissue following stretching, maintaining pulsatile flow of blood through arteries, and aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration
location: *walls of large arteries,
*within certain ligaments associated with the vertebral column,
* within the walls of the bronchial.
- 3—major: epithelium
specific: stratified cuboidal epithelium
function: protection
location: largest ducts of sweat glands,
mammary glands
salivary glands
- 4—major: epithelium
specific: stratified columnar epithelium
functions: protection and secretion
location: rare in the human body
small amounts in male urethra and in large ducts of some glands
- 5—major: connective
specific: hyaline cartilage
function: supports and reinforces, serves as resilient cushion, and resists compressive stress
location: forms most of the embryonic skeleton
covers the ends of long bones in joint
cavities
forms costal cartilage of the ribs
forms cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx
- 6—major: epithelium
specific: transitional epithelium
functions: stretches readily and permits distention of urinary organ by contained urine
location: lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra
- 7—major: connective
specific: mesenchyme (embryonic connective tissue)
function: gives rise to all other connective tissue types
location: primarily in embryo
- 8—major: connective
specific: adipose
function: provides reserve fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs
location: under skin
around kidneys and eyeballs
within abdomen
in breasts
- 9—major: connective
specific: areolar
function: wraps and cushions organs, its macrophages phagocytize bacteria, plays important role in inflammation, holds and conveys tissue fluid
location: widely distributed under epithelia of body -e.g forms lamina propria of mucous membranes, packages organs, surrounds capillaries
- 10—major: connective
specific: reticular
function: fibers form a soft internal skeleton (storma) that supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages
location: lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen)
- 11—major: connective
specific: elastic cartilage
function: maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
location: supports the external ear (auricle) and forms epiglottis
- 12—major: connective
specific: bone (osseous tissue)
function: bone support and protection, provides levers for the muscles to act on, stores calcium, other minerals, and fat; marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)
location bones
- 13—major: connective
specific: dense regular
function: attaches muscles to bones or other muscles, attaches bones to bones, withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction
location: tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses
- 14—major: connective
specific: dense irregular
function: able to withstand tension exerted in many directions, provides structural strength
location: fibrous capsules of organs and of joints, dermis of the skin, submucosa of digestive tract
- 15—major: connective
specific: fibrocartilage
function: provides tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock
location: intervertebral discs, pubic synthesis, disc of knee joint
- 16—major: epithelium
specific: simple squamous epithelium
function: allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important, secretes lubricating substances in serosae
location: kidneys glomeruli, air sacs of the lungs, lining of the heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, lining of ventral body cavity (serosae)
- 17—major: epithelium
specific: pseudostratified columnar epithelium
function: secrets substances (particularly mucus) and propels mucus by ciliary action
location: non-ciliated types in males sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the upper respiratory tract
- 18—major: epithelium
specific: stratified squamous epithelium
function: protects underlying tissue in areas subjected to abrasion
location: non-keratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin ( a dry Membrane )
