Cells contain process that receive and generate electrical signs to communicate with other cells
Nervous
Tissue has elongated cells that shorten and cause movement.
Muscle
Tissue contains more extracellular matrix than cells.
Connective
Cells either form a barrier then controls passage of molecules or form glands.
Connective
Primary tissues that exhibit cellularity
Epithelial, muscle, nerve
Cells determine function of these primary tissue types
Epithelial, muscle, nerve
The extracellular matrix determines functions of this primary tissue
connective
Lines the mouth and protects underlying tissues in areas subject to absortion.
Stratified squamous epithelial
Located in the alveoli (the air sacs of the lung) ans provides a short distance for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Simple squamous epithelial
Forms kidney tbules and is involved in absorption and secretion.
Simple cuboidal epithelial
Lines the nasal cavities and moves substances over epithelial surfaces
Pseudostratified columnar epithelial
forms the mesothelium of the peritoneun and secretes serous fluid into the peritoneal cavity
Simple squamous epithelial
Lines the stomach and its microvilli;increases surface area for absorption and secretion
Simple columnar epithelial
Lines the bladder and utter and is distensible
Transitional
Contains elastic fibers and is found in the lungs. This tissue allows the lungs to inflate during inhalation and return to their original shape after exhaling
Elastic connective
Packed with parallel bundles of collagen fibers and found in tendons. This tissue resits pulling forces applied by muscles
Dense regular connective
Has a firm, gelatinous ground substances containing collagen fibers. This tissue is found in the tracheal wall to support and prevent the trachea from collapsing
Hyaline cartilage
Found under covering and lining epithelium. Its extracellular matrix contains loose arrangement of fibers, and its viscous ground substance facilities the flow of interstitial fluid containing nutrients to epithelial tissues. It also cushions and supports epithelial.
Areolar
Contains many elastic fibers in a firm gelatinous ground substance. Located in external ear, auditory tube, and epiglottis.
Elastic cartilages
Hard extracellular matrix forms trabeculae
Spongy bone
Forms a framework in the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. It contains fine, branching fibers.
Reticular
Is packed with bundles of collagen fibers running in different directios. It is found in skin and allows skin to resist pulling forces from many different direcctions.
Dense Irregular
Fluid extracellular matrix used to transport substances throughout the body.
Blood
Contains a large number of lipid-storing cells. It is found throghout the body, cushions and insulates organs, and stores lipids for future energy needs.
Adipose
Hard extracellular matrix containing osteons; involved in protection and support.
Compact bone
Firm gelatinous ground substance packed with bundles of collagen fibers. This tissue is found in intervertebral disk, pubic symphysis, and knee meniscus
Fibrocartilage
Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix for those connective tissue types
