Elastic Cartilage: cartilage with elastic as well as collagenous fibers; provides elasticity and firmness, as in, for example, the cartilage of the external ear. 2)

Blood: is the most unusual connective tissue, it exists in a liquid state and contains neither ground substances nor fibers. 2)

Muscle: specialized tissue type that produces movement. 2)

Skeletal: also known as voluntary or striated voluntary muscle; muscles under willed or voluntary control. 2)

• Epithelial tissue lies on a basement membrane. That means underlying the cells that are the cellular component of the epithelial tissue, there is a layer of acellular ("a-" means not, so "acellular“ means not cellular) material. This basement membrane can be thought of as a sticky layer to keep the epithelial cells attached to whatever underlies them. The bottom edge of the epithelial tissue abuts the basement membrane; this bottom edge is called the basal surface. The edge of the epithelial tissue that faces the lumen (or the outside world) is called the apical surface.

-Cells within this tissue readily divide to make more cells. This helps this tissue recover after any sort of abrasions occur.

-This tissue does not have any vasculature. This means that there are no blood vessels within it. This should make sense, since epithelial tissue is likely to get damaged by material moving against it– and you don't want to bleed every time something bangs into your skin or every time you swallow something

rough.

-The cells within this tissue are firmly attached to each other. As a border-tissue, if the cells weren't adherent to one another, it would be a leaky border. This would be no good-- liquids from inside of us would drip out! Yuck! So the cells all make the type of junctions with each other called tight junctions. Citation #1

Simple Squamous

• Simple squamous: So thin that it offers almost no protection; it functions to allow materials to pass through.

Citation #1 2

Stratified Squamous• Stratified squamous-This tissue is usually

made up of so many layers of cells that it offers the most protection to the underlying tissue (that's why we find it in skin). Citation #1

2

Transitional• Transitional is tissue consisting of

multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. These cells, part of the epithelium, are found in the urinary bladder, in the ureters, and in the superior urethra and gland ducts of the prostate.

• Glandular epithelial cells are specialized epithelial cells that secrete bodily products, sometimes called simply glands. Glands include two types: endocrine and exocrine 1)

• Smooth: muscles that are not under conscious control; also known as involuntary or visceral muscle; forms the walls of blood vessels and hollow organs. 2)

• Cardiac: specialized muscle that makes up the heart. 2)

• Nervous: specialized tissue type consisting of neurons and glia that provides rapid communication and control of body function. 2)

• Simple Columnar- composes the surface of the mucous membrane that lines the stomach, uterus, uterine tubes and parts of the respiratory tract, (eyes, ears and mouth) (1)(9)

• Stratified columnar- protective epithelium has multiple layers of columnar cells, only the most superficial cells are truly columnar in appearance, the epithelium is located in segments of the male urethra and in the mucous layer near the anus. (1)

• Pseudo stratified- is found lining the air passages of the respiratory system and certain segments of the male reproductive system such as the urethra. (1)

• Simple Cuboidal- is composed of one layer of cuboidal cells resting on a basement membrane, it is seen in many types of glands and their ducts. (1)

Stratified cuboidal- can be located in the sweat gland ducts, in the pharynx and over parts of the epiglottis (1)

Dense fibrous regular- The bundles of fibers are arranged in regular, parallel rows. Predominantly bundles of collagenous fibers and is flexible but possesses great strength. 2)

Dense fibrous irregular- the bundles of fibers are not arranged in parallel rows. Instead, they intertwine to make a thick mat of strong connective tissue that can withstand stresses applied from anywhere. 2)

Bone- A highly specialized connective tissue whose matrix is hard and calcified. 2)

Hyaline cartilage- This is the most common type of cartilage. It appears gelatinous and glossy. 2)

Fibrocartilage- Cartilage with the greatest number of collagenous fibers. It’s the strongest and most durable type of cartilage. 2)

Connective Tissue: The most profuse and extensively spread tissue in the organism that supports the body and its parts, holds them together, transports substances, and protects them from foreign invaders. 2)

Loose Ordinary Fibrous: A glue like tissue that fills in wherever needed, in the extra space. The loos fibrous tissue is called loose because of the lack of fibers and large amount of space. 2)

Adipose Tissue is used by the body to protect, insulate and store fats. The adipose tissue can be found underneath the skin, around kidneys, behind the eyeballs and on the surface of the heart. 2)

Reticular Tissue: Reticular connective tissue forms a scaffolding for other cells in several organs. 2)
