Tissue Types of the Body

The human body comprises various tissue types, each with specific roles essential for maintaining body functions. Connective tissues, including areolar, hyaline cartilage, bone, elastic cartilage, blood, and adipose tissues, provide structural support, protection, and storage functions.

Tissue Types of the Body

Tissue Types of the Body

Nervous Tissue (spinal cord)

coordinating and controlling many body activities
brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Muscle

Smooth
walls of hollow organs like your intestines and stomach
contract to push food through your body
Cardiac
heart
performs coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system
Skeletal
uses tendons to connect the epimysium to the periosteum, or outer covering, of bone
between bones

Connective

Hyaline cartilage
covers ends of joints, nose and respiratory passages, serves as padding
helps hold the body together
Elastic cartilage
External Ear and Larynx
shaping the folds which efficiently channel sound waves towards the inner ear
Blood Tissue
transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide
blood vessels
Adipose Tissue (fat)
Protective cushion insulation to preserve body heat Stores energy
Bone Tissue (Osseous)
locomotion, support and protection
skeleton
Fibrocartilage
between vertebrae
shock absorbing
Loose Connective Tissue or Areolar Tissue
Binds underlying organs to skin and to each other
throughout body
Fibrous Dense Connective Tissue
support
dermis, tendons, ligaments

Epithelial

Stratified Columnar
conjunctiva inside the eyelids and areas of tissue transition
protection and mucous secretion
Stratified Cuboidal
secretion and protection
salivary glands, kidney tubules, sweat glands
Glandular Epithelium
saliva
specialized to secrete substances They make up the glands
Transitional Epithelium
Blocks diffusion
urinary bladder
Pseudostratified Columnar
Secretion and cilia-aided movement
lining air passages and tubes of the reproductive system
Stratified Squamous
lining body cavities; skin and mouth
protection
Simple Columnar
digestive tract and uterus
ecretion and absorption
Simple Cuboidal
kidneys tubules, ducts and covering the ovaries
Secretion and absorption
Simple Squamous
diffusion and filtration
capillaries, alveoli, glomeruli, and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required
flat/thin
