TISSUE TYPES
SPECIFIC TYPES OF WHERE IT'S FOUND IN Function / Description
MAJOR TISSUE YOUR BODY
TISSUE
 Diffusion and
Filtration
Lining of air sacs in the
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS  Allows for the easy
lungs
diffusion of oxygen
and carbon dioxide
 Absorbs and
Kidney Tubules, Ducts,
secrete materials
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL and
 into the ducts or
Covering of the Ovaries
tubes
 Involved in
Digestive tract
SIMPLE COLUMNAR secretion, excretion,
(intestines)
and absorption
 Helps trap and
EPITHELIAL PSEUDOSTRATIFIED transport particles
TISSUE , brought in through
Air passages (trachea)
CILIATED the
COLUMNAR nasal passages and
lungs
 Provides protection
and secretion of
STRATIFIED
Outer layer of skin waste materials into
SQUAMOUS
the ducts and out of
the body
 Blocks Diffusion (no
leaking)
Urinary Bladder  Prevent microbial
TRANSITIONAL
and crystal
adherence to the
bladder epithelium
CONNECTIVE  Holds organs in
TISSUE place and attaches
Binds skin to internal
AREOLAR TISSUE epithelial tissue to
organs
other underlying
tissues
 Protective cushion.
 Insulate to preserve
Fatty layer beneath the body heat.
ADIPOSE TISSUE
skin  Storing energy in
the form of lipids
(fat).
FIBROUS Dermis, Tendons,  Provides support

CONNECTIVE
Ligaments absorption to our
TISSUE
bones and organs.
 Provides smooth
HYALINE and lubricated
Covers ends of bones
CARTILAGE surfaces between
bones
 Provides support
External Ear with moderate
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
and Larynx elasticity

 Provide the tough

FIBROCARTILAGE Between vertebrae material of the
intervertebral discs
 Storing minerals,
providing internal
support, protecting
vital organs,
BONE TISSUES OR enabling
Skeleton
OSSEOUS movement, and
providing
attachment sites for
muscles and
tendons
 Transports oxygen
Circulates throughout
BLOOD TISSUE and nutrients to the
body
lungs and tissue
 Moves bones by
contracting and
SKELETAL Muscles connected relaxing in response
MUSCLE TISSUE to bones to voluntary
messages from the
nervous system
MUSCLE TISSUE  Responsible for
expanding and
SMOOTH Digestive System contracting passage
MUSCLE TISSUE of blood
 Keeps the heart
pumping through
CARDIAC Heart involuntary
MUSCLE TISSUE movements
 Responsible for
coordinating and
NERVE TISSUE NERVE TISSUE Brain, Spinal Cord controlling bodily
and Nerves activities
