Type of epithelium tissue that lines urinary bladder and portions of ureters and urethra. Function is allows urinary organs to stretch and maintain protective lining while holding variable amounts of fluid without rupturing.
Type of muscle tissue that is found in heart wall. Function is pumps blood to all parts of body.
Type of tissue that is found in the nervous system. Function is exhibits sensitivity to various types of stimuli, converts stimuli into impulses; conducts impulses to other neurons, muscle fibers, or glands.
Type of columnar epithelium tissue that lines some bronchioles of respiratory tract, uterine tubes, uterus, some paranasal sinuses, central canal of spinal cord, and ventricles. Function is cilia beat in unison, moving mucus and foreign particles toward throat to be coughed up. It also helps move oocytes expelled from ovaries through uterine tubes into uterus.
Type of connective tissue that is found in the stroma of liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. Function is forms stroma of organs; filters and removes worn-out blood cells in spleen and microbes in lymph nodes.
Type of columnar epithelium tissue that if is ciliated variety lines airways of most of upper respiratory tract; nonciliated variety lines larger ducts of many glands, epididymis, and part of male urethra. Function is ciliated variety secretes mucus that traps foreign particles, and cilia sweep away mucus for elimination. Non ciliated variety absorbs and protects.
Type of epithelium tissue if keratinized variety forms superficial layer of skin; non keratinized variety lines wet surfaces and covers tongue. Function is protects against abrasion, water loss, ultraviolent radiation, and foreign invasion. First line of defense against microbes.
Type of Epithelial tissue EX: Sweat, oil, and earwax glands of skin; digestive glands ( Salivary glands) and pancreas. Function is produce substances, sweat, oil and ear wax, and saliva and digestive enzymes.
Type of epithelium tissue found in endothelium, mesothelium, and air sacs of lungs, glomerular capsule of kidneys, inner surface of tympanic membrane. Functions are filtration, diffusion, and secretion in serous membranes.
