Epithelial Tissue

Glandular Tissue- An aggregation of epithelial cells that elaborate secretions.Stratified Cuboidal- Is a rare type of epithelial tissue composed of cuboidal shaped cells arranged in multiple layers.Simple Cuboidal- Simple cuboidal cells are classified as simple since they consist of only a single layer of cells. Simple Squamous Epithelium- Single layer of flat epithelial cells that all adhere to the basement membrane.Stratified squamous epithelium- Squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basement membrane. Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one another to maintain structural integrity.

Nervous Tissue

• Nervous Tissue- Specialized to react to stimuli and to conduct impulses to various organs in the body which bring about a response to the stimulus.

Muscular Tissue

• Skeletal Tissue- Known as voluntary or striated voluntary muscle.

• Smooth Tissue- Muscles that are not conscious control, also known as involuntary or visceral muscle.

• Cardiac Tissue- Specialized muscle that makes up the heart.

Connective TissueConnective Tissue- Tissue arising chiefly from the embryonic mesoderm that is characterized by a highly vascular matrix and includes collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers, adipose tissue, cartilage, and bone. It forms the supporting and connecting structures of the body.Loose connective issue- Loose connective tissue or (LCT) is literally found everywhere in the body, as filling between apposed body parts. It is also called areolar tissue.Adipose- Used to store fatReticular- Forms a networkDense Regular Fibrosis- Found in ligaments and tendonsBone- Is a type of mineralized connective tissue that contains collagen and calcium phosphate, a mineral crystalHyaline cartilage- Is covered externally by a fibrous membrane, called the perichondrium, except at the articular ends of bonesFibrocartilage- Consists of a mixture of white fibrous tissue and cartilaginous tissue in various proportions
