Simple squamous epithelium
Single row of flat cellsAllows rapid diffusion of substances; secretes serous fluidFound in alveoli, glomeruli, endothelium, & serosa

Simple cuboidal epithelium
Single row of cube-shaped cells, often with microvilliAbsorption & secretion; produces mucusLiver, thyroid, mammary, salivary and other glands, bronchioles, and most kidney tubules

Simple columnar epithelium
Single row of tall, narrow cells
vertically oriented, oval nuclei in basal half of cell
Absorption & secretion; secretion of mucusInner lining of GI tract, uterus, kidney & uterine tubes

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Single row of cells not all of which reach the free surface
nuclei of basal cells give layer a stratified look
Secretes and propels respiratory mucus Found in respiratory system

Stratified squamous epithelium
Multilayered epithelium that lacks surface layer of dead cells forming abrasion-resistant, moist, slippery layerFound on tongue, oral mucosa, esophagus & vaginaMultilayered epithelium covered with layer of compact, dead squamous cells packed with protein keratin – epidermis of skin

Transitional epithelium
Multilayered epithelium with rounded surface cells that flatten when the tissue is stretchedStretches to allow filling of urinary tractFound in urinary tract -- kidney, ureter, bladder

Areolar
Loose arrangement of collagenous and elastic fibers, scattered cell types & abundant ground substanceUnderlying all epithelia forming passageway for nerves & blood vessels; fascia between muscles

Adipose
Large, empty-looking cells with thin margins; nucleus pressed against cell membraneEnergy storage, insulation, space filled as cushioningSubcutaneous fat beneath skin & surrounding organs
brown fat found in hibernating animals produces heat only no ATP

Reticular
Loose network of reticular fibers and cellsForms supportive stroma (framework) for lymphatic organsFound in lymph nodes, spleen, thymus & bone marrow

Dense regular
Densely, packed, parallel collagen fibers; compressed fibroblast nuclei & scanty open spaceTendons & ligaments hold bones together and attach muscles to bones

Dense irregular
Densely packed collagen fibers running in random directions; scanty open space; few visible cellsWithstands stresses applied in different directions Deeper portion of skin; capsules around organs

Hyaline cartilage
Clear, glassy matrix; fine dispersed collagen fibers; chondrocytes in small clusters enclosed in lacunaeSupports airway, eases joint movements Over ends of bones at movable joints; sternal ends of ribs; supportive material in larynx, trachea, bronchi and fetal skeleton

Elastic cartilage
Hyaline cartilage with weblike mesh of elastic fibers amongst the lacunae; always has perichondriumProvides flexible, elastic supportExternal ear and epiglottis
