TYPES OF CONNECTIVE
TISSUES
oose connective tissues – composed of collagen and elastic fibers; found in and around blood vessels and organs.
ibrous – has a lot amount of collagen; found in tendons and ligaments.
artilage – a type of connective tissue found at the end of bones and in our nose and ears.
dipose – “body fat” used for insulation and help store energy.
lood – considered a “special” type of connective tissue and the cells are separated by fluid.
ones – are also considered a type of connective tissue

bsorption and Exchange
ensation
TYPES
quamous – width are greater than their height; Lungs and Blood Vessels
uboidal - width and height are the same, same as a cube; can be
found in important glands.
olumnar - shaped like a column; their height is greater than their
width; can be found in the digestive tract and possibly in the trachea.
CLASSIFICATION OF
EPITHELIUM
ccording to Relative number of cell layers or Cell arrangement (layers)
.Simple epithelium –single (one) layer of cells. most concerned with absorption,
secretion and filtration- very thin, protection is not one of their specialties.
.Stratified epithelium- more than one cell layer.
ccording to shape and arrangement: Combined
1.Si
mple: Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
2.St
ratified: Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM
is a single layer of thin, flat cells, this thin layer of tissue, it is often found
where diffusion of filtration take place. Example: a.Alveoli, b.kidney- form
thin barriers through which small molecules but not large ones, can pass.
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
s a single layer of cube like cells.. Meant mainly for secretion/absorption Forms the
walls of the kidney tubules excrete waste products and reabsorb useful materials
from the tubules as urine is formed and covers the surface of the ovaries.
SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
s made up of a single layer of tall, thin cells that fit closely together. These
large cells contain organelles that enable them to perform complex function
Ex: small intestines produces and secretes mucus and digestive enzymes..
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR
EPITHELIUM
pseudo, false)
t consist of one layer of cells, with all the cells attached to the basement membrane. - Found in
respiratory passages such as nasal cavity, trachea and bronchi.
secretes mucus, which covers its free surface. - Cilia located on the free surface move the mucus and
the debris.
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM
is the most common . With several layers of cells. Capable of dividing and
producing new cells. As these newly formed cells are pushed to the surface,
they become flat and thin.
STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL AND STRATIFIED COLUMNAR
EPITHELIUM
ypically has just two cell layers with (at least) the surface cells being cuboidal in shape.
tratified columnar epithelium are columnar cells but its basal cells vary in size and
shape.
oth of theses epithelia are fairly rare in the body, being found mainly in the ducts of
large glands and lining of sweat glands. (Because the distribution of these two epithelial
is extremely limited).
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM
s a special type of stratified epithelium that can greatly stretched .
ound: urinary bladder, also protect underlying structure from the
caustic effect of urine.
GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM
eant for producing and releasing secretions
Main Types
- Merocrine (ex. Salivary glands)
- Apocrine ( Mammary glands)
- Holocrine ( sebaceous glands)
NERVOUS TISSUE
t is responsible for coordinating and controlling many bodily
activities.
ound in the brain and spinal cord
ransmit electrical signals throughout the body
NEURON
MUSCLE TISSUE
esponsible for movement inside and outside of the body
elp with body posture
roduce heat
TYPES
keletal muscles
mooth muscles
ardiac Muscles
SMOOTH MUSCLES
ound inside digestive tracts and inside the veins and arteries
nvoluntary muscles
elp in the movement of food waste
SKELETAL MUSCLES
oluntary muscles that work with bones in order for us to move around
keletal muscles are attached to bones by tough connective tissues called tendons
CARDIAC MUSCLES
re striated muscles; mixture of smooth and skeletal muscles
elp the hear pump blood
