front 27 Simple cuboidal epithelium | back 27 Secretion and absorption |
front 28 Transitional epithelium | back 28 Stretches readily and permits distention of urinary organ by contained urine |
front 29 Simple columnar epithelium | back 29 Absorption, secretion of mucus and enzymes Ciliated type propels mucus |
front 30 Pseudostratified columnar epithelium | back 30 1. Secretion, particularly of mucus 2. Propulsion of mucus by ciliary action |
front 31 Loose connective tissue, areolar | back 31 1. Wraps and cushions organs 2. Phagocytizes bacteria 3. Plays an important role in inflammation 4. Holds and conveys tissue fluids |
front 32 Loose connective tissue, adipose | back 32 1. Provides reserve fuel 2. Insulates against heat loss 3. Supports and protects organs |
front 33 Dense connective tissue, regular | back 33 1. Attaches muscles to bones or muscles to muscles 2. Attaches bones to bones 3. Withstands great tensile strength when force is applied in one direction |
front 34 Dense connective tissue, irregular | back 34 1. Withstands tension exerted in many directions 2. Provides structural strength |
front 35 Dense connective tissue, reticular | back 35 1. Fibers form soft internal skeleton (stroma) that supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages |

front 43 Smooth muscle | back 43 1. Propels substances or objects (foodstuffs urine, baby) along internal passageways 2. Involuntary control |
front 44 Cardiac muscle | back 44 1. As it contracts, it propels blood into circulation 2. Involuntary control |
front 45 Nervous tissue - Neurons | back 45 Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors (muscles and glands) which control their activity |
front 46 Neuroglial cells or Neuroglia | back 46 1. Maintains homeostasis 2. Forms myelin 3. Provides support and protection for neurons |
