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
