Rectangular; Multi/Single Layered

Polarized

Compact; Covers the outside of the body

Exposed to air or fluid

Microvilli, Cilia, flagella

Basal lamina and basement membrane

Adjacent cells are fused; forming a belt

Prevent leakage of extracellular fluid

Fastens cell into strong sheets

Intermediate filaments of Keratin

Provide cytoplasmic channel between adjacent cells

permits salt ions, amino acids and small molecules

Single-layered brick-like cells on the end

Like cuboidal epithelium but taller cells

Highly-absorptive surfaces like intestinal tract

Can be ciliated

Short, box-like cells

Single-layered dice-like cells

Lines, small ducts and tubules; may have active secretory functions

Flattened Cells

Forms lining of blood capillaries, lungs, etc

Permits passive diffusion of gases

At least two layers of cells

Some found at the anorectal region and salivary duct

Single-layered, flat-like tiles of cells

It withstands mild mechanical abrasion

Flat due to basal layers undergoing mitotic division

Anal canal and vagina

It consists of single-layered cells

Forms a mucous membrane that lines in the portion of the respiratory tract

Accommodates great stretching

Found in the urinary tract and bladder

Absorb or secrete chemical

Exocrine, Endocrine, mixed

Squamous cell lining serous cavities

Peritoneal and pleural cavities

Composed of muscle fibers

Abundant tissue in animals

Accounts for most of the energy-consuming cellular work

Mechanical support

Storage of energy and protection against infection

Repair

Fibroblast/Fibrocyte

Mesenchymal

Adipose

Fixed Macrophage

White blood cells

Red Blood Cells

Lymphocytes

Permits diffusion of nutrients, substances, waters

Important in the absence of small blood vessels

Irritability and conductivity

Senses stimuli and transmits signal from one part of animal to another

Made up of collagen

Flexible, non-elastic

Does not tear easily

Skin care

Long threads of Elastin

Elastin provides a rubbery quality

Very thin and branched

Composed of Collagen

Forms a woven fabric that joins connective tissue to adjacent tissues

Fills spaces between cells and fiber

Branched and Stretchable

Divides to produce other cell types

Unbranched, strong but flexible

Divides to produce other types of cells

Branched, thin, and forms network

Engulfs pathogen or produces antibodies

Dense due to collagenous fibers

Fibers are organized to parallel bundles

Forms tendons and ligaments

Binds epithelia to underlying tissues

Packing material; holds organs

A special form of loose connective tissue

Pads and insulates body

Each cell contains a large fat droplet that swells and shrink subjective to the condition of body

Abundance of collagenous fibers

Chondroitin Sulfate

Secrete collagen and chondroitin sulfate

Covers joint surfaces

For support and reinforcement

Nose, Larynx and Trachea

Contains collagen fibers

External ears, epiglottis

Maintains a structure shape while allowing flexibility

Large collagenous fibers

Disks of knee joints

Absorbs compression shock

Mineralized connective tissue

contains cell that deposit matrix of collagen (Osteoblasts)

Combination of hard mineral and flexible collagen

Water

Dissolved solids (proteins, supplies for cells, cell products, cellular wastes)

Gases

Produced by bone marrow

Red Blood cells, White blood cell, pletelets

Cylindrical and Striated Cells

Single Innervation by motor nerve

Functions in voluntary movement of body

Spindle-shaped cells, single nucleus

No striations

Double innervation by parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system

Movement of substance in lumens of body

Cylindrical but branching striated cells

Double innervation by parasympathetic; involuntary

Occurs in walls of heart

Pumping of blood

Consists of a cell body

Transmits nerve impulse from their tops toward the rest of the neuron

Transmits impulses towards another neuron or toward an effector such as a muscle cell
