What are the 12 tissue types?
Answers
Bones: Osseous Tissue
Function: Bone supports and protects
Location: Bones
Cartilage: Fibrocartilage
Function: Tensile strength with the ability to absorb comprehensive shock.
Location: intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint
Skeletal Muscle
Function: Voluntary movement
Location: In skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin.
Cardiac Muscle
Function: As it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation.
Location: Walls of the heart.
Smooth Muscle
Function: Propels substances or objects along internal passageways.
Location: Mostly in the walls of hollow organs.
Cartilage: Elastic
Function: Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
Location: Supports the external ear; epiglottis
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Function: Secretion and absorption
Location: Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands
Simple Squamos Epithelium
Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important.
Location: Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining of heart
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Function: Protection; Secretion
Location: Rare in the body; small amounts in male urethra.
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
Function: protection
Location: Largest ducts of sweat glands; mammary glands, and salivary glands.
Transitional Epithelium
Function: Stretches readily and permits dissension of urinary organ by contained urine.
Location: Lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of urethra>
Embryonic Connective Tissue: Mesenchyme
Function: Gives rise to all other types of connective tissues.
Location: Primarily in embryo.
Loose Connective Tissue: Adipose
Function: Provides reserve fuel; insulates against heat loss.
Location: Under skin; Around kidneys and eyeballs.
Dense Connective Tissue: Elastic
Function: Allows recoil of tissue following stretching; maintains pulsating flow of blood through arteries.
Location: Walls of large arteries; within walls of bronchial tube.
