• Chondrocytes

• You would find this tissue

• End of bones, trachea rings, costal (ribs)

• Function of this tissue is

• Support and cushioning

Simple cuboidal epithelium

• This tissue would be found in

• Glands, ovaries and kidneys

• The function of this tissue is

• Secretion and absorption

Nervous Tissue

• Cells that support this tissue are called

• Neuroglia

• This tissue is found in the

• Brain, spinal cord and peripherial

Loose Connective Tissue or Areolar Tissue

• The name of the yellow fibers

• Elastin

• This tissue would be found

• Under the skin

• The function of this tissue would be

• To attach skin to tissues and cushion organs

Cardiac Muscle

• Found only in the

• Heart

Blood

• This matrix of this tissue

• PLASMA

• The function of this tissue

• Transport gases, nutrients and waste

Pseudostratified Epithelium

• This tissue would be found in

• Respiratory tract and oviducts

• The function of this tissue would be

• To move materials along the outer surface of the cell.

Fibrocartilage

• Tissue is found

• In the intervertebral disc, hips and knee joints

• The function is to absorb compressive shock.

Skeletal Muscle

• This tissue is found in the body

• Attached to bones

Simple squamous epithelium

• In the body this tissue

• Line or covers most abdominal organs

• The function of this type of tissue

• Allows for quick diffusion and to reduce friction

Bone

Smooth Muscle

• This tissue is found in the body in the

• Walls of hollow organs

Adipose Tissue

• This tissue would be found in the body

• Under skin, behind eyes, around kidneys, abdominal membranes

• The function of this tissue is to

• Insulate, pad and as a heat energy reserve

• Substance stored in this tissue is

• Fat

Dense Regular (collagenous) Fibers

• The white fibers found in this tissue are

• Collagen fibers

• You would find this tissue in the body

• Tendons, ligaments, white part of the eye

Simple columnar epithelium

• This tissue would be found in

• The lining of the digestive tract (stomach)

• The function of this tissue would be to

• Protect, absorb and sucrete

Stratified squamous epithelium

• The protein that makes this tissue tough is

• Keratin

• Found in

• The lining of the mouth, anus, vagina

• The function

• To sucrete and protect
