Briana Urena Period 2
Function: Supports and connect other tissues; from the connective tissue sheath that surrounds muscle cells, to the tendons that attach muscles to bones, and to the skeleton that supports the positions of the body.
Location: Connective Tissue is found all througt the body in bone, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and adipose.
Composed of a loose collection of specialized cells, called adipocytes, embedded in a mesh of collagen fibers.
Functions as a fuel tank for the storage of lipids and triglycerides.
Location
Primarily located beneath the skin, but is also found around internal organs.
Used for strength, Links bones to bones at joints and tendons. Also acts a connection between bones or cartilage and muscle
Location
Found in ligaments
Holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. It also serves as a reservoir of water and salts for surrounding tissues.
Location
Found surrounding blood vessels, nerve bundles, muscles, and organs.fills the spaces between organs and connects your skin to your underlying muscle.
Storing minerals, providing internal support, protecting vital organs, enabling movement, and providing attachment sites for muscles and tendons.
Location
Found in Tendons and ligaments.
Helps in the transport of gases, nutrients, hormones as well as the elimination of the waste materials.
Location
Circulates in cardiovascular system
Helps hold the body together. Hyaline cartilage provides support and flexibility to different parts of the body. Hyaline cartilage also provides mechanical support for the respiratory tree, nose, articular surfaces, and developing bones.
Location
Found on many joint surfaces. It is also most commonly found in the ribs, nose, larynx, and trachea.
Tough, dense, and fibrous material that helps fill in the torn part of the cartilage
Location
Predominantly found in the intervertebral disks and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons.
The main funciton is fibers hold connective tissues together, even during the movement of the body. These elastic fiber contains the protein elastin along with lesser amounts of other proteins and glycoproteins. The main property of elastin is that after being stretched or compressed, it will return to its original shape.
Location
Located in regions where tendons attach to bones, the intervertebral discs, and the pubic symphysis.
Epithelial Tissue
Function:
protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
Location:
Wide spread throughout the body
Forms the covering of the human body, lines body cavities, and hollows organs.
Is the major tissue in glands.
secrets lubricating substance, allows diffusion and filtration
Location
blood and lymphatic vessels, air sacs of lungs, lining of the heart
Function
Secretory ducts of small glands, kidney tubules
Location
Allows secretion and absorbtion
Consist of a single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide.They lines the small intestine where it absorbs nutrients from the lumen of the intestine.
Location
Located in the stomach where it secretes acid, digestive enzymes and mucous.
provides protection for underlying tissues.
Location
Located on body surface found in nearly every organ system where the body comes into close contact with the outside environment – from the skin to the respiratory, digestive, excretory and reproductive systems. They also protect the body from desiccation and water loss.
The cilia and mucous secretions help collect foreign materials so you can cough or sneeze them out. It secretes mucus which is moved with cilia.
Location
Trachea and upper respiratory tract. Found in larger respiratory airways of the nasal cavity, trachea and bronchi.
Stretch's readily in order to accommodate fluctuation of volume of the liquid in an organ
Location
Found lining the urinary bladder, ureters and urethra, as well as in the ducts of the prostrate gland.
Function: Responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. As well as stimulates muscle contraction, creates an awareness of the environment, and plays a major role in emotions, memory, and reasoning.
Location: Found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Responsible for the electrical signals that communicate information about sensations, and that produce movements in response to those stimuli, along with inducing thought processes within the brain.
Location
Central nervous system
Their role is to be the support team and cheerleaders for the neurons. The neuroglia: Form myelin, which wraps around axons to speed up electric impulse conduction.
Location
There are six types of neuroglia. Four types of neuroglia found in the central nervous system are astrocytes, microglial cells, ependymal cells, and oligodendrocytes. The two types of neuroglia found in the peripheral nervous system are satellite cells and Schwann cells.
Function: Muscluar tissue is responsible for the movement in our body as they facilite bodily functions, such as mobility, stability, posture etc.
Location: Muscular tissue is loctaed althoughout the body under each sub-category holds its own purpose.
Works to keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements. Also vital for pumping blood throughout the cardiovascular system.
Location
Loacted in the walls of the heart
Skeletal muscles enable humans to move and perform daily activities. They play an essential role in respiratory mechanics and help in maintaining posture and balance. They also protect the vital organs in the body.
Location
Found between bones, and uses tendons to connect the epimysium to the periosteum, or outer covering, of bone.
Function
Involved in many 'housekeeping' functions of the body. The muscular walls of your intestines contract to push food through your body.
Location:
Location: In walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control.
