2. Epithelial Tissue
By James

3. Simple Squamous
• Consists of only
one layer of flat,
scale-like cells.
• Microscopic air
sacs of the lungs,
for example, are
composed of this
kind of tissue.

4. Stratified Squamous
• Characterized by
multiple layers
of cells with
typical flattened
squamous cells.

5. Transitional
• Is a stratified
tissue typically
found in body
areas, such as the
wall of the
urinary bladder,
that are
subjected to
stress and
tension changes

6. Simple Columnar
• Composes the
surface of the
mucous
membrane that
lines the
stomach, uterus,
uterine tubes,
and parts of the
urinary tract

7. Stratified Columnar
• Has multiple
layers of
columnar cells,
only the most
superficial cells
are truly
columnar in
appearance

8. Psuedostratified
• Found lining the
air passages of
the respiratory
system and
segments of the
male
reproductive
system such as
the urethra

9. Simple Cuboidal
• Composed of
one layer of
cuboidal cells
resting on a
basement
membrane

10. Stratified Cuboidal
• Two or more rows
of low cuboidal
cells are arranged
randomly over a
basement
membrane

11. Glandular
• Regardless of the
secretory product
produced,
glandular activity
depends on
complex and highly
regulated cellular
activities requiring
the expenditure of
stored energy

12. Connective Tissue
By Ross

13. Loose Ordinary Fibrous
• The substance
contains a large
proportion of ground
substances and lacks
the massive fibrous
reinforcement.

14. Adipose
• Adipose is a major
storage site for fat in
the form of
triglycerides.

15. Reticular
• Forms the basis of such
hematopoietic organs.

16. Dense Regular Fibrous
• Contains densely
packed collagen fibers
that run in the same
direction.

17. Dense Irregular Fibrous
• Contains fibers that
are not parallel to
each other.

18. Bone Tissue
• Tight and packed
closely together.
Compact to hold
form and structure.

19. Hyaline Cartilage
• Is pearly bluish,
consistent, and
considerable
collagen.

20. Fibrocartilage
• Helps with flexibility
and toughness to
maintain structure
and form.

21. Elastic Cartilage
• Contains fiber
networks and
collagen fibers.

22. Blood
• Carries oxygen in to
the tissue and takes
out carbon dioxide
to be released from
the body.

23. Muscle
By Josh

24. Skeletal
• Skeletal muscles are
used to facilitate
movement, by
applying force to
bones and joints;
contraction. They
generally contract
voluntarily, although
they can contract
involuntarily.

25. Cardiac
• This type of muscle is found solely in the
walls of the heart. It has similarities with
skeletal muscles in that it is striated and
with smooth muscles in that its
contractions are not under conscious
control. However this type of muscle is
highly specialised. It is under the control
of the autonomic nervous system,
however, even without a nervous imput
contractions can occur due to cells called
pacemaker cells. Cardiac muscle is highly
resistant to fatigue due to the presence
of a large number of mitochondria,
myoglobin and a good blood supply
allowing continuous aerobic metabolism.

26. Smooth
• Smooth muscles are found in
the hollow parts of the body.
This would be in places like the
stomach, intestines, blood
vessels and the bladder. Smooth
muscles are arranged in layers
with the fibers in each layer
running in a different direction.
This makes the muscle contract
in all directions. A smooth
muscle is an involuntary muscle.
This means that you cannot
consciously control this muscle.
These muscles are under the
control of autonomic nervous
system. This system controls
many systems without us being
aware of them.

27. Nervous
By Halen

28. Nervous Tissue
• Is the 4th basic tissue in the
body.
• It is organized into 2 systems,
the central nervous system
and the peripheral nervous
system.
• The peripheral system sends
impulses to the central
nervous system.
• The basic cell of nervous
tissue is the neuron.
