Animal Tissue Types

Connective (Tissue)

1. Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissue 2. Dense Connective Tissue 3. Adipose 4. Cartilage 5. Bone 6. Blood

Erythrocytes (Vascular Tissue)

1. Mammals => enucleated 2. Other => nuclei

Bone

1. Matrix is solid (calcium carbonate) 2. blood supply and nerves running through the Haversion

Skeletal (Muscle)

1. Striated and voluntary 2. parallel, elongated (fibers) 3. multinucleated => length of the muscle 4. light and dark meat (slow twitch and fast twitch muscle)

Smooth (Muscle)

1. Visceral, involuntary 2. cells are long and tapered 3. organized into sheets of muscle

Hyaline (Cartilage)

1. a type of cartilage 2. found in bone ends

Elastic (Cartilage)

1. a type of cartilage 2. found in ears

Leukocytes (Vascular Tissue)

1. about 7.5 million ml of blood 2. White Blood cells

Simple Squamous (Epithelium)

1. air sacs of respiratory system 2. lining of blood vessels, heart, and lymphatic tubes

Platelets (Vascular Tissue)

1. blood clotting 2. Red Blood cells

Cuboidal (Epithelium)

1. cube shaped 2. secretion and absorption 3. kidney tubules 4. surface of ovary

Columnar (Epithelium)

1. elongated cells, longer than wide 2. two types: Simple and Pseudostratified ciliated

Loose (Areolar)

1. gel like ground with both elastic and non-elastic fibers 2. run through the ground in many directions 3. wraps and cushions organs 4. under the skin

(Cell) Matrix

1. ground => liquid (sol), Gel, Gum, or solid 2. fibers => nonelastic (white or collagen) / elastic (yellow fibers)

Cardiac (Muscle)

1. intercalated disc 2. myogenic 3. branched

Pseudostratified (ciliated Epithelium)

1. lines the bronchi, trachea, uterine tubes, and some of the uterus 2. propels mucus or reproductive cells by ciliary action

Epithelium (Epithelial)

1. lines, covers, and protects other tissues and organs 2. categorized by cells tightly junked together and by the presence of a cell secretion called the basement membrane 3. named by cell shape and other characteristics 4. three types: Squamous, Cubiodal, and Columnar

Vascular (Tissue) (Blood)

1. liquid matrix => Plasma - 90% water - 10% plasma proteins etc 2. formed elements: erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets

Cartilage

1. matrix is gum like (ground) 2. found in Lacunae within the matrix elastic or non-elastic => reticular (thin NE fibers) 3. three types: Hyaline, Elastic, Non-elastic

Dense (Connective Tissue)

1. nuclei and fibers arranged in parallel rows 2. tendons and ligaments 3. fibers mostly non-elastic

Simple Columnar (Epithelium)

1. single layer of cells 2. lines the digestive tract, gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands 3. has microvilli for absorption on surface

Stratified Squamous (Epithelium)

1. skin 2. vagina 3. esophagus 4. mouth

Muscle (Tissue)

1. specialized for contraction

Nervous (Tissue)

1. specialized to polarize and depolarize 2. cell is a neuron

Adipose (Fat)

1. storage cells for lipids 2. contain a large vacuole for lipids in _______ cells 3. nucleus and cytoplasm pushed to the edge of the cell membrane

Squamous (Epithelium)

1. very thin, wider than thick 2. two types: Simple and Stratified

Connective (Tissue)

1. widely separated from each other in a matrix produced by the cells 2. protects and supports
