1Tissue Recognition Practice
2Blood Connective/Supportive Erythrocytes,
Leukocytes, Platelets Matrix Plasma clotting
proteins
3Simple columnar epithelial tissue Epithelial Epith
elial cells goblet cells Location internal
surface of lower digestive tract Major Functions
absorption and secretion
4Areolar tissue Loose fibrous connective
tissue Connective/Supportive Fibroblasts
Adipocytes, Mast cells, Macrophages, Plasma
cells, Leukocytes Fibers Collagen elastic
5Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
(Fibrous) Connective/Supportive Fibroblasts Collag
en fibers Durable, heard to tear
6Elastic cartilage Connective/Supportive Chondrocyt
es Elastic fibers Rep. Location ear
7Simple cuboidal epithelial Epitheliial Epithelial
cells Functions absorption secretion Rep.
locations Kidney, thyroid gland
8Fibrocartilage Connective/supportive Chondrocytes
Collagen fibers Rep locations intervertebral
disks, meniscus of knee Absorbs shock
9Simple squamous epithelial tissue Epithelial Epith
elial cells Functions allows rapid diffusion
through membrane
10Adipose tissue Connective/Supportive Adipocytes En
ergy storage
11Smooth muscle tissue Muscular Myocytes Non-striate
d, involuntary, single nucleus
12Transitional Epithelial Tissue Epithelial Epitheli
al cells Bladder Stretches to allow filling
13Dense regular tissue Fibrous connective Connective
/supportive Fibroblasts Collagen Tendons,
Ligaments
14Skeletal muscle tissue Muscular Muscle
fibers Striated, multi-nuclear,nuclei near plasma
membrane
15Compact bone tissue Connective/Supportive Osteocyt
es Osteons, Concentric lamellae, central canal,
canaliculi
16Sratified cuboidal epithelial tissue Epithelial Ep
ithelial cells Rep location ovary
17Stratified squamous epithelial -
keratinized Epithelial Keratinocytes,
melanocytes, Merkel cells, Langerhans
cells Epidermis Resists abrasion, retards water
loss through skin
18Nervous tissue Nervous Neurons, glial
cells Brain, spinal cord Axon, dendrites, soma
19Cardiac muscle tissue Muscular Myocytes Striated,
branched, single central nucleus Intercalated
disks Heart
20Hyaline cartilage Connective/Supportive Chondrocyt
es Collagen fibers (not usu visable) Fetal
skeleton, ends of bones
21Stratified squamous epithelial tissue -
non-keratinized Epithelial Epithelial
cells Tongue, oral mucosa, esophagus Resists
abrasion
22Reticular tissue Connective/supportive Leukocytes
Reticular fibers Supportive framework for
lymphatic organs Lymph nodes, bone marrow, thymus
23Pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue -
ciliated Epithelial Epithelial cells Goblet
cells Cilia Lining of trachea (and upper
respiratory tract) Basement membrane
