Tissues

Skeletal: Under voluntary control responsible for movement of bones of the skeleton has a striped appearance under the microscope

Smooth: Under involuntary control and is found throughout the body, lining the intestines, bladder, blood vessels, uterus ect. Spindle shaped cells, smooth appearance under microscope.

Cardiac: Found only in the heart and is under involuntary control. Cells are short, cylindrical and muscle fibres are branched. 

Nervous: Made up of neurones - recieves and interprets them and generates activity. 

• Separates, covers and lines tissues
• protective
• absorptive
• sensory input
• secretion - produced and remains in the body 
• excretion - produced and leaves the body 

epithelia

• lining 
• glandular

Characteristics

• Apical (top) and basal (bottom)
• Connects to neighbouring cells by junctional complexes
• Avascular (no blood vessels) nutrients provided by underlying tissues
• Innervated (supplied by nerves)
• Basement membrane - nutrients and oxygen diffuse through

Squamous: Single cell thick where diffusion occurs

Simple Columnar: Tall, elongated, found on intestine lining for absorption of food

Simple Cuboidable: Cube shape lines ducts and glands and kidney tubules

Ciliated: Have hair like appendices, move in a wafting motion found in the respiratory tract and oviduct.

Stratified: Series of layers, tough and resistant to frictional forces found in oral cavity, oesophagus and rectum 

Transition: Found in areas that need stretching bladder and urethra.

Connective: Responsible for supporting and binding organs and tissues. For transport and nutrients and removing waste.

Simple tubular: Stomach and intestine 

Simple coiled tubular: Sweat glands

Simple branched tubular: Stomach, mouth, tongue, oesophagus

Simple alveolar: Sebaceous glands

Branches alveolar: Sebaceous glands

Compound tubular: Bulbourethal glands, mammary glands, kidney tubules, testes, mucous glands of mouth.

Compound alveolar: Mammary glands

Compound tubuloalveolar: salivary glands, pancreas, respiratory passages
