TissueStructureFunction Simple Squamous Epithelium Single layer Flat cells Central nucleus Filtration Diffusion Secretion

TissueStructureFunction Simple cuboidal epithelium Single layer Cube shaped cells Central nucleus Secretion Absorption

Tissue StructureFunction Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Cells attached to basement membrane, looks layered Not all cells reach apical surface Nuclei at different levels Secretion Movement of mucus

TissueStructureFunction Stratified squamous epithelium Several layers Squamous at apical surface, may be cuboidal deeper Protection

TissueStructureFunction Stratified cuboidal epithelium Two or more layers Cube shaped cells Protection Secretion Absorption

TissueStructureFunction Areolar Connective Collagen, elastic and reticular fibers Fibroblasts Macrophages Plasma cells Adipocytes Mast cells Ground substance Strength Elasticity Support

TissueStructureFunction Adipose Adipocytes- cells with large droplet of fat Insulation and heat generation Energy storage Protection

TissueStructureFunction Dense regular connective Extracellular matrix (EM) of collagen fibers and fibroblasts Attachment between structures

TissueStructureFunction Dense irregular connective Randomly arranged Collagen fibers Fibroblasts Strength

TissueStructureFunction Hyaline cartilage Chondrocytes Collagen fibers Support Fusion

TissueStructureFunction Bone Osteocytes EM of minerals Canals Support Protection Produce/store blood tissue

TissueStructureFunction Blood Blood cells Plasma Transport Immune support Healing

TissueStructureFunction Skeletal Muscle Long striated fibers Many nuclei Motion Protection Heat production

TissueStructureFunction Smooth muscle Nonstriated fibers Central nucleus Motion through digestive tract Contraction of urinary bladdar, gall bladder

TissueStructureFunction Cardiac muscle Branched striated fibers One or two central nuclei Pumps blood to all parts of body.

TissueStructureFunction Nervous tissue Neurons Neuroglia Sensitive to stimuli Conducts nerve impulse, information

Adult fat versus baby fat Adult FatBothBaby Fat Single fat droplet in cells InsulationHeat generation SupportMany small fat droplets ProtectionMany mitochondria More blood vessels
