Tissue Type?

Stratfied Squamous Epithelium

This type of tissue creates strong contractions in certain organs. What is it?

Smooth Muscle Tissue

This type of tissue has structures between cells to promote cell communication. Tissue type?

What are the structures (arrow #3) called?

Cardiac Muscle Tissue. Intercalated discs.

This picture shows the cross section of a blood vessel in a type of connective tissue. What is this connective

tissue and it’s function(s) in the body?

Atipose Tissue. Stored Energy and Cushion.

What is this tissue type and it’s function in the body?

Nervous. Sensory input and coordination of all responses in the body.

Tissue Type? What are the thick and thin “strings” in the picture below? What is their function?

Loose Connective Tissue. Thick strings = collagen (provides tinsel strength)

Thin strings = elastin (provides flexibility, stretching)

Here is bone tissue. What type of tissue is bone? What is found in the center of the pits?

Bone is connective tissue. Osteoclasts (cells that secrete minerals into the matrix) are in the

center of the pits.

What type of tissue is shown here? Give two reasons you know this.

Skeletal Musclestriations and multiple nuclei

What type of tissue is found in the circular patterns? Where in the body can it be found?

Simple Cuboidal EpitheliumKidneys, Excretory Glands

Tissue type? Where would this be found?

Pseuduostratified columnar epithelium. Found in the respiratory tract mainly trachea.

What is the function of the goblet cell below? The cilia?

Goblet cell secretes mucus.Cilia sweep particles out of the system.

Tissue Type? Where is it found in the body?

Hyaline Cartilage Connective Tissue. Found on the ends of bone and in the nose.

This is the type of cartilage that has the most number of collagen fibers in it. What type of tissue is it? Where is it found in the body?

Fibrocartilage connective tissue. Found in tendons (connect muscles to bones) and ligaments (connect bones to bones).

Also in vertebral discs (between vertebrae)

Tissue Type? Locations found in the body?

Simple Squamous Epithelium. Lung tissue and lining blood vessels.

What is the arrow pointing to? Hint: It is lining a vessel. What is the function of this type of tissue?

Simple squamous epithelium. Allows diffusion of gases like oxygen into and out of the tissues.

What are the two tissue types shown below? How do you know they are different?

The location of the nuclei.

Nervous Tissue Adipose Tissue
