1 Flashcards
Skeletal muscle
Striated; movement and stability
Smooth muscle
Smoother looking; found in hollow organs, veins. Helps propel substances along pathways
Cardiac muscle tissue
Intercalated Discs; propels blood into blood stream, walls of heart
Striated muscle tissue
Skeletal and cardiac muscle. Has sarcomeres in this tissue.
Non striated muscle tissue
“Smooth muscle tissue” in hollow organs and don’t have sarcomeres
Intercalated Discs
In cardiac muscle tissue between myocardial cells
Nervous tissue
Has neurons that help transmit signals through body. In brain, nerves, spinal cord
Axon
Where signal is generated
Dendrite
Increases surface area for receptors to receive signal
Areolar connective tissue
Hair like tissue located around epithelial tissue. Wraps around organs and protects them.
Adipose connective tissue
Bubble like tissue. Located in eyeballs bones abdomen. Reserves food fuel and helps with heat loss.
Reticular connective tissue
Found in lymph nodes bones spleen. Reticular cells dominate
Dense irregular connective tissue
Looks like really smooth tissue. Made from elastic and collagen fibers. Located in joints and capsules of organs
Dense regular connective tissue
Looks like a bunch of scribbles close together. Collagen fibers and connects muscle to bones. Located in tendons ligaments and aponeuroses
Hyaline cartilage connective tissue
Looks like eyes. Found in nose ear and trachea. Supports. Made of chondrocytes
Elastic cartilage connective tissue
Looks like eyes but not together. External ear and flexible and support
Blood connective tissue
Contains erythrocytes and leukocytes blood cells. In blood vessels. Moves nutrients through out
Erythrocyte
Red blood cell. Moves oxygen. Smaller than white blood cell
Leukocyte
White blood cell. Defense and bigger
Central canal
Middle of bone. Carries vessels and nerves to osteon
Lacuna
Small space that holds osteocyte cell
Lamellae
Rings around osteon
Osteocyte
Cells derived from osteoblast
Osteon
The entire structure that holds all the bone stuff
Fibroblasts
Flat cells that produce collagen fibers. Located in skin and bladder.
Macrophages
Wandering cell that is part of immune system and phagocytizes foreign material. Located in loose connective tissue
Plasma cells
Found in blood connective tissue
Adipocyte
Found in adipose tissue. Stores fat and lipid reserves
Mast cells
Found everywhere and is wound healing
Collagenous fiber
Thick fiber holds connective tissues together
Elastic fiber
Stretches connective tissue. Found in elastic cartilage connective tissue
Reticular fiber
Supportive for reticular tissue. Found in bone marrow
Tendon
Muscle to bone
Ligament
Bone-bone
Aponeuroses
Sheet of connective tissue found over cranium
Stratum corneum
1st layer
Stratum lucidum
2nd layer
Stratum granulosum
3rd layer
Stratum spinosum
4th layer; thickest layer
Stratum basale
5th layer
Arrector pili
Causes goosebumps
