Identification by Picture
These cells that are shaped thin and flat arranged in a single layer.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
This tissue transports gases, nutrients, and hormones; removes wastes; defends against pathogens; and regulates temperature and pH.
What is blood?
This tissue is found forming the hard outer shell of all bones.
What is compact bone?
These cells that are shaped like boxes with central nuclei forming a single layer.
What is simple cuboidal epithelium?
This type of cartilage gives flexible support to structures like the external ear.
What is elastic cartilage?
This tissue is found beneath the skin, around the abdomen and in breasts.
What is adipose connective tissue?
This tissue is arranged as 2 or more layers and at the surface they flatten into thin and flat.
What is stratified squamous epithelium?
This rare tissue provides protective barrier and the ability to secrete materials like mucus.
What is stratified columnar epithelium?
This tissue lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra.
What is transitional epithelium?
This tissue is arranged as two or more stacked layers of cube-shaped cells, each about as tall as it is wide.
What is stratified cuboidal epithelium?
This tissue acts as the universal packing material, cushioning organs, binding different tissues together, and serving as a reservoir for water and nutrients
What is areolar connective tissue?
You’ll find this tissue forming the dermis of the skin, fibrous capsules around organs, and sheaths around joints.
What is dense irregular connective tissue?
This tissue looks like it has many layers because the nuclei sit at different heights these cells are tall and column-shaped.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
This tissue resists both compression and tension, acting like a shock absorber in places such as intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis.
What is fibrocartilage?
This tissue forms the scaffolding inside lymphoid organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
What is reticular connective tissue?
