Type:

Location

Squamous cells are located on the outer layers of the skin.

Squamous cells are flat and irregularly shaped. Simple: one layer.

Stratified: Multilayered

Squamous

Function

Squamous cells help with diffusion and filtration.

Location

Type

These cells are located manily in the digestive tract.

Columnar cells are long and the nucleus is located towards the bottom of the cell. Simple: one layer only. Stratified: More than one layer. Pseudostratified: One layer that looks like multiple layers.

Columnar

Function

These cells help with secreation and absorbption.

Type

Location

Cuboidal cells are cubed shaped cells. Simple: one layer of cells. Stratified: Multilayered.

Cuboidal cells are located around the kidney, pancreas, and salivary glands.

Cuboidal

Function

These cells help with secreation and absorpbtion.

Type:

Location

Transitional cells are uaually located in the urinary system.

Transitional cells are able to change their shape . Simple: one layer.

Stratified: Multilayered

Transitional

Function

Transitional cells help tissue stretch and contract.

Type:

Location

Pattern: Striated

Controllability: Voluntary

They are found throughout the body, attached to bones.

Skeletal

Function

These muscles help with movement, posture, temperature regulation, and storage.

Type:

Location

Pattern: Striated

Controllability: Involuntary

The cardiac muscle are found inside of the heart.

Cardiac

Function

This muscle controls the heart by creating the pumping action to move blood in out out of the heart.

Type:

Location

Pattern: Nonstriated

Controllability: Involuntary

This muscle is found inside of hollow organs.

Smooth

Function

This helps with moving material throughout hollow organs, such as the intestines.

Type:

Location

Adipose cells are located under the skin, around organs, and throughout the body.

Adipose cells are a whitish-yellow color and have a spherical shape to them.

Adipose

Function

Adipose cells help with Temperature regulation, storage, and cushioning.

Type:

Location

Bone cells are located inside and around the bone.

Bone cells are rigid, spongy, compact, and made up in layers.

Bone

Function

Bone cells help repair and grow our bones.

Type:

Location

Loose cells are located throughout the body.

Loose cells are made of macrophages, plasma, mast, and white blood cells.

Loose

Function

Loose cells connect organs to organs and fill space between muscles.

Type:

Location

Blood cells are found in veins that run throughout the body.

Vascular cells are flat and disc shaped. They circulate throughout the body.

Vascular

Function

Blood cells distribute O2 throughout the body, fight against infections, and eliminate waste.

Type:

Location

Dense cells are located in ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, and fascia.

Dense cells are regular and irregularly shaped, closely packed, have a poor blood supply.

Dense

Function

Dense cells help connect various organs and muscles.

Type:

Location

Hyaline, Elastic and fibrocartilage are all types of supportive tissues.

Hyaline: Between the joints.

Elastic: Skin, arteries, lungs, bladder..etc

Fibro: Knees, spine, around muscles.

Supportive

Function

Hyaline

Hyaline: Helps bone move smoothly past joints

Elastic: Allows other tissues stretchand shrink.

Fibro: Cushions the joints.

Fibrocartilage

Elastic

Type:

Location

Neurons are in the brain and spinal cord.

Neurons have a head like a star, a tube body, and thread-like projections at the end.

Neuron

Function

Neurons help us send signals to the brain to tell us when/what to do.

Type:

Location

Neuroglial cells are located in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Neuroglial cells help developmental, physiological, and metabolic support for neurons

Neuroglial

Function

Neuroglial cells help protect and tell you when something is up with your nervous tissue.
