Compact Bone Tissue

- bones throughout the body

- supports, protects, provides framework

Hyaline Cartilage

- ends of bones, nose, rings of trachea

- cushions, protects

Simple Cuboidal Tissue

- glands and kidney tubules

- secretion, absorption

Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue

- lines lungs, blood vessels, and heart

- filtration, absorption, secretion

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue

- inner portion of skin

- binds skin onto underlying tissue

Pseudostratified Epithelial Tissue

- respiratory and reproductive tracts

- protection, secretion, movement of mucus/sex cells

Adipose Tissue

- around heart and kidneys, beneath skin, and in breast tissue

- insulation, storage

Stratified Columnar Epithelial Tissue

- lines larger ducts of excretory glands

- protection, secretion

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

- in the heart

- contraction of the heart tissue

Smooth Muscle Tissue

- in hollow organs and blood vessels

- involuntary muscle movement

Transitional Epithelial Tissue

- in urinary bladder, ureters, and urethra

- stretching, protection

Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue

- in digestive organs and uterine tubes

- absorption

Loose Connective Tissue

- between tissues and organs

- holds tissues and organs together

Spongy Bone Tissue

- on ends of long bones

- growth of bones, creation of blood cells in red bone marrow

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue

- in linings of ducts of mammary, salivary, and sweat glands, and the pancreas

- protection

Stratified Squamous Epithelial Tissue

- located on outer layer of skin

- protection

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

- attached to long bones

- voluntary muscle movement

Elastic Cartilage

- located on outer ear

- flexibility

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

- in tendons and ligaments

- binds organs together
