Chapter 5: Types of Tissues

5. Consists of two or three layers of cuboidal cells that form lining of a lumen.
9. Forms muscles that typically attach to bones and can be controlled by conscious effort. They enable us to make facial expressions, write, talk, sing and breathe.
10. This tissue stores and releases chemicals, such as calcium and phosphorus. It is the most rigid connective tissue, due to presence of mineral salts and collagen within the matrix.
13. Consists of a single layer of skin, flattened cells.
14. Consists of many closely, packed, thick, collagen fibers. This type of tissue is in the protective white layer of the eyeball and in the deep skin layer.
15. Found ONLY in the heart. Its function is heart movements

1. Found in intervertebral discs, knees, and pelvic girdles. This tissue is a good shock absorber and contains many collagenous fibers.
2. Located in the male urthra and linings of large gland ducts. Consists of several layers of cells.
3. Commonly found in the respiratory airways. Consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped cells that give the appearance of more than one layer.
4. Composed of a single layer of cells with elongated nuclei located at about the same level, near the basement membrane.
6. Main cell type is fibroblasts and binds the skin to underlying tissues, under most epithelial layers and between muscles.
7. Its function is protection and stretchability. Located in the inner lining of the urinary bladder and linings of the uterus and part of the urethra.
8. Its cells do not have striations. Composes the walls of hollow internal organs, such as the stomach, uterus, and urinary bladder. It is involuntary.
11. Develops when certain cells store fat as droplets in their cytoplasm and enlarge. Lies beneath the skin, in spaces between muscles, around the kidneys and behind the eyeballs.
12. Found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Includes neuroglia.
