nervous

• squamous-flat or scale like
• cuboidal-cube shaped
• columnar- column like
• transitional-strechy and varaibly shaped
• stratified-any of the above in several layers
• simple-any of the above in a single layer
• pseudostratified-looks multiple layered but isn't

cutaneous

serous-parietal/visceral

mucous

known as your skin

makes up 16% of total body weight

the largest visible organ

two layered membrane with potential (fluid-filled) space in between comprised of the parietal and visceral layers

parietal-lines the walls of the ventral body cavities in which organs reside and produces serous fluid

visceral-wraps around the individual organs also produces serous fluid

lines openings to the outside world such as your digestive tract, respitory system, urinary and reproductive tracts

contain specialized cells that produce mucus

most common tissue found through out the body

connective tissue proper

cartilage

bone 

blood

• areolar tissue-fine delicate webs of loose connective tissue
• adipose tissue-fat
• tendons and ligaments are densely packed connective tissue that form cordlike structures

cartilage

&

bone

• cartilage has its cells embedded in tiny holes(lacunae) in a gelatinous matrix
• bone is the hardest bone cells(osteocytes)live in holes called lacunae but bones matrix is made up mainly of calcium and phosphate

skeletal or striated

cardiac

smooth

• found in the walls of the heart 
• involuntary in movement
• straited but the cells are branched and have a single nucleus each
• cells interlock with each other promoting more efficient contraction

• forms the wall of hollow organs
• also called viseral muscles
• involuntary muscle

• acts as rapid messenger
• neurons-conductors of information
• neuroglia-cells function as support cells
• dendrites-branch like formations that make up neurons
• axon-trunk like structuretransports information away from the cell body
• meninges-membranes associated with nervous tissue covering the brain and spinal cord
