Welcome !!!

Below are pictures taken from the slides in Ms. D's class. I labeled MOST of the terms that were in BOLD on the handout.

If you have any additional hints, comments or corrections please put them in the appropriate post.

Enjoy!

Nervous Tissue

Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves
Function: transport information
The neurons and neuroglia are the two main cell types found in this tissue

Smooth Muscle

Location: walls of intestines, blood vessel & urinary bladder
Function: involuntary movement of bodily substances
Tissue is non-striated with a central nucleus

Skeletal Muscle

Location: surrounds / attached to bone
Function: voluntary movement
Tissue is multi-nucleated with linear striations and adipose

Cardiac Muscle

Location: heart
Function: blood flow
Tissue contains striations with cells divided by intercalated discs

HINT: Both cardiac & skeletal muscle are striated, but ONLY cardiac muscle has branches. Nucleus in cardiac muscle may be hard to see, but branches are obvious.

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Location: kidney tubules, glands
Function: absorption, secretion

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Location: alveolar sacs, lining blood vessels & lymphatic vessels
Function: diffusion, osmosis

Areolar

Location: surrounds muscles, glands, nerves
Function: provides strength & flexibility to nearby tissues
Fibroblasts produce collagen (strong) & elastin fibers (flexible)

Reticular

Location: liver, spleen, lymph nodes
Function: structural support

Adipose

Location: subcutaneal layer, skeletal muscle, around kidneys
Function: insulation, protection & energy reserve
Adipocytes store lipids

Dense Regular Collagenous

Location: ligaments & tendons
Function: connects bone to bone & muscle to bone
Fibroblasts produce collage & elastin fibers

Hyaline Cartilage

Location: costal cartilage, fetal skeleton, trachea
Funciton: provides a rigid, but flexible support
Chondrocytes are cartilage cells located in lacunae and surrounded by matrix

Compact Bone

Location: outer covering of shafts of long bones
Function: support & movement of body
Osteocytes are mature bone cells located in lacunae and surrounded by matrix

Blood

Location: within blood vessels & heart
Function: transport & protection
Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes are suspended in plasma
