Tissue - a group or mass of similar cells working together to perform _____________________________
There are 4 major types of tissue : 1.Epithelial 2.Connective 3. Muscle 4. Nervous
General Characteristics:
- Found throughout the body, covers all body surfaces both inside and out.
- Main ____________________________________ tissue.
- Attached to underlying connective tissue at the _____________________________
- Usually has no vascular tissue - blood supply
- Cells reproduce rapidly results in: _______________________________
Functions: Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, sensory perception
categorized based on the ______________________ of the cells and the ___________________ of cells.
A. SIMPLE SQUAMOUS -
Form: flat and thin, single layer
Function: _____________________________
Found in: air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries
B. SIMPLE CUBOIDAL - single layer, cube-shaped cells.
Function: Secretion and _______________________________
Found: Lining of kidney
tubules, ducts of glands, covering surface of ovaries
C. SIMPLE COLUMNAR - single layer,
long cells with their
Function:
Secretion and absorption
Found in the
lining of _____________________________ and uterus
- contains scattered ___________________________ to secrete mucus
- and ___________________________ increase surface area
Label image:
D. STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS - muli-layered, squamous cells
Functions in protection. Found lining body cavities like the __________________________

E. PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR - appear
"stratified" but really a single layer with nuclei at various levels
giving the appearance of layers.
-Can have _______________________________ (tiny, hair-like projections)
-And goblet cells, which secrete _____________________________
- Function: secretion and _______________________________
- Location: lining air passages like the trachea and tubes of the reproductive
system
*What happens if the cilia of cells do not work properly?
F. TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM - thick, layered cuboidal cells. "Stretchable" tissue, also forms barrier to block diffusion. Found: lining of _______________________________________
G. Glandular Epithelium
Cells specialized to ______________________; make up the body's ___________________
General Characteristics:
-Most abundant tissue in your body, found throughout
-Binds structures together
-Provides support, protection, framework, fills space, stores fat, produces
blood cells, fights infection
-Composed of more scattered _________________ with intercellular _____________
-Made up of a ground substance (fluid, semi-solid) and fibers
-Most has a good ________________________
-Cells can reproduce
Three common types of cells:
1.
2.
3.
Main types of fibers:
-collagenous fibers Strong, flexible; Found: ____________________
- elastic fibers Found ______________________________
CATEGORIES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
A. LOOSE C.T. or AREOLAR TISSUE - binds skin to underlying organs and organs to organs, forms delicate, thin ____________________ throughout the body
B. ADIPOSE TISSUE - aka FAT ' Function: Protective cushion, insulation to preserve body heat, stores ______________________________, cells are called adipocytes
C. FIBROUS C.T. - dense tissue, closely packed, thick collagenous fibers and
fine network of elastic fibers. Few cells, poor blood supply, thus slow healing.

D. CARTILAGE (all cartilage cells are called ______________________)
HYALINE CARTILAGE -
ELASTIC CARTILAGE -FIBROCARTILAGE -
E. BONE TISSUE - _____________________________ tissue. Rigid
due to mineral salts.
F. BLOOD TISSUE - circulates throughout the body
A. Skeletal -
B. Smooth -
C. Cardiac -
A. Neurons - transmit signals
B. Neuroglia - protection, support
