transitional epithelium
consists of several layers of cells allowing an expandable lining
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
commonly possesses cilia that move dust and mucus out of the airways of the
respiratory cells
simple squamous epithelium
single layer of flattened cells
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
nuclei located at different levels within a single row of aligned cells
simples squamous epithelium
forms walls capillaries and air sacs of lungs
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
appear layered (stratified), but they are a single layer ofcells (simple)
stratified squamous epithelium
younger cells cuboidal and columnar, older cells flattened nearest the free surface
transitional epithelium
forms the inner lining of urinary bladder
simple cuboidal epithelium
lines kidneys tubules and ducts of salivary glands
simple columnar epithelium
forms lining of stomach and intestines
simple columnar epithelium
elongated cells with elongated nuclei located near basement membrane
stratified squamous epithelium
forms lining of oral cavity, esophagus, anal canal, and vagina
elastic cartilage
forms framework of outer ear
adipose tissue
functions as heat insulator beneath skin
blood
contains large amounts of fluid and lacks fibers
bone
cells arranged around central canal
areolar tissue
binds skin to underlying organs
dense connective tissue
main tissue of tendons and ligaments
