Epithelial Tissue
Protection, absorption, filtration and secretion are examples of this.
Functions
This type of gland excretes substances outward through a duct.
Exocrine Glands
Functions of connective tissue
Support, Insulation and Protection
This muscle is found in the heart.
Cardiac Muscle
This type of tissue changes with elasticity. It can be found in the lining of the urinary bladder.
Transitional
This is the membrane under the the basal surface.
Basement Membrane
This type of gland secretes hormones through exocytosis and travel through the bloodstream.
Endocrine glands
All connective tissues are mostly made of this.
Extracellular Matrix
This type of tissue is made up of neurons and neuroglia.
Nervous Tissue
Type of epithelial with more than one layer of cells.
This is the bottom surface of the epithelial tissue.
Basal Surface
This type of exocrine gland excretes products via exocytosis. An example of this would be the sweat glands.
Merocrine Glands
Regular, Irregular and Elastic are types of this connective tissue.
Nervous tissue converts this into nerve impulses
Stimuli
The extracellular matrix is composed of these two components.
Fibers and ground substance
This epithelial is a single layer of tall, closely packed cells. It secretes mucus and can be found in the digestive tract.
Simple Columnar Epithelial
This type of exocrine gland pinches off the portion of the cell with the secreted product. An example of this would be the mammary glands.
Apocrine Gland
This type of loose connective tissue is mostly open space, hold salt and water, an can be found under epithelium and around organs.
Areolar Tissue
This type of muscle is voluntary and striated. It is attached directly to the bones.
Skeletal Muscle
Thyroid, thymus, adrenal glands and pancreas are examples of this type of gland.
Endocrine Glands
in this epithelial, the nuclei are found at different levels, but it is not multi-level.
Pseudo-stratified
This type of exocrine gland ruptures and spills the product into the duct. An example of this would be the sebaceous (oil) glands.
Holocrine Gland
This type of dense tissue is provides "tensile strength" like a rope and is found in tendons and ligaments.
Regular
This involuntary muscle is found in the walls of the stomach, uterus, intestines, bladder and arteries.
Smooth Muscle
Some characteristics of this tissue are that osteocytes secrete ground substances, fibers, collagen and fluid. They eventually become calcified.
Bone (Osseous) tissue
