Types Of Tissues

Simple Squamous Epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that is thin and flat, allowing it to reduce friction, control permeability, and perform absorption and secretion. It does not provide structural support, regulate body temperature, or store excess nutrients.

Stratified Squamous Epithelium serves as a protective barrier for the body, preventing damage from abrasion, pathogens, and chemical substances.

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium is specialized for protection, secretion, and absorption due to its layered cube-shaped structure.

Transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that allows the bladder to be stretched as it fills with urine and then recoils after emptying, hence its function is to permit expansion and recoil after stretching.

Simple columnar epithelium primarily functions in protection, secretion, and absorption in various parts of the body, such as the digestive tract.

Psuedostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium is primarily responsible for protection, secretion, and moving mucus with cilia, not the functions mentioned in the incorrect answers.

Stratified columnar epithelium, despite having multiple layers of column-shaped cells, functions primarily in protection rather than absorption, secretion, or oxygenation.

Adipose tissue primarily functions to provide padding, insulation, and energy storage within the body.

Reticular tissue is specifically designed to provide a supporting framework in soft organs, not for contraction, insulation, or transport of substances.

Dense Regular Connective Tissue primarily provides firm attachment, conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction between muscles, and stabilizes relative positions of bones.

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue is primarily responsible for providing strength and preventing overexpansion of organs, not for creating flexibility, regulating blood sugar levels, or forming protective barriers against pathogens.

Elastic tissue is primarily responsible for stabilizing positions of vertebrae and penis, cushioning shocks, and permitting expansion and contraction of organs.

Hyaline cartilage provides support and reduces friction between bony surfaces, making it essential for joint function.

Elastic cartilage is a type of cartilage that is designed to provide support to certain structures in the body while also being able to bend and stretch without damage. This unique property allows it to maintain shape and function even when subjected to movement or external pressure.

Fibrocartilage is a tough form of cartilage that serves to resist compression, prevent bone-to-bone contact in joints, and limit excessive movement.
