lymphatic vessels); filtration (kidney tubules); protection against abrasion (serous membranes of organs and body cavities)
tubules); secretion (cells of glands and choroid plexus); movement of mucus- containing particles out of the terminal bronchioles)
becomes flattened at the free surface; protection against abrasion; barrier against infection; prevention of water loss – skin, cornea, lining of mouth, throat, esophagus, anus and vagina
protection against the caustic effects of urine – urinary bladder, ureters and superior urethra
absorption (intestinal cells); movement of cilia clears mucus-containing particles (lungs); movement (oocyte through fallopian tube)
energy storage (all fat); packing material that provides protection (around hearts and kidneys); heat insulator (under skin)
by fluid-filled spaces; loose packing (between glands, muscles and nerves); support (for epithelial tissue); nourishment (for the structures with which it is associated)
nutrients, waste products and other substances (RBC’s and plasma); protects body from infection (WBC’s); temperature regulation
ground substance making the matrix appear transparent; chondrocytes are found within lacunae; provides support with some flexibility (costal cartilage of ribs, cartilage rings of trachea, nasal cartilage and ends of bones); site of bone growth (growth or epiphyseal plates of bones and embryonic skeleton)
withstand great pulling forces in the direction of fiber orientation (tendons, non-elastic ligaments, dermis of skin and organ capsules)
organized into layers called lamellae; provides strength and support (all bones) and protects internal organs (skull, ribcage, pelvis)
periphery; movement of the body (attaches to bone)
the size of organs (hollow organs such as stomach and intestines) , forces fluid through tubes (ureters), controls the amount of light entering the eye (iris); produces “goose flesh” (skin)
connected to one another by intercalated disks; pumps blood (heart)
cells, surround the neurons; transmit information in the form of electrical charges that occur across the cell membrane called action potentials (brain, spinal cord & nerves); support, protect and form specialized sheaths around axons (neuroglia)
