4. connective tissues

Question 1

what is thixotropy?

Answer 1

manipulation of tissues increase tissue fluidity and flexibility

Question 2

surrounds soft organs like the spleen, support cells.

branching mesh-like fiber network like cheese cloth.

Answer 2

reticular fibers

Question 3

found in skin and blood arteries.

fibers can both stretch and recoil like rubber bands.

found in: arteries, lungs skins

Answer 3

elastic substance

Question 4

gel like substance surrounding cells.

allows WBC’s to spread into spaces surround cells.

provide shape to tissues (eyeballs)

secrete by fibroblasts

Answer 4

ground substance

Question 5

found in all connective tissues , cartilage, tendons, ligaments,veins and scar tissue.

fibers are strong and flexible like rope.

(25% of total body protein)
excessive (blank) tissue may reduce range of motion.

Answer 5

collagen fibers

contain the most collagen fibers

Answer 6

dense connective tissue

Question 7

adipose tissue
subcutaneous layer of skin

areolar tissue
contains all three fibers types

Answer 7

loose connective tissue

Question 8

blood: plasma

Answer 8

liquid connective tissue

Question 9

found at ends of bones, ears, and between vertebrae.

Question 10

parallel bundles

tendons, ligaments

Answer 10

dense regular

Question 11

sheets or bands of fibers

deep fascia for investing Fascia

Answer 11

dense irregular

Question 12

ears and Eustachian tubes.

epiglottis in throat

Answer 12

elastic cartilage

Question 13

between vertebral discs

least flexible.
made densely packed fibers arranged in bundles

Answer 13

fibrocartilage

Question 14

end of bones and of ribs and long bones

embryo skeleton

must abundant

surface of joints

rigid and flexible

Answer 14

hyaline cartilage

Question 15

line joint cavities

line cavities that do NOT open to the outside

secrete lubricating fluids

Answer 15

synovial membranes

Question 16

Line cavities that do NOT open to the outside

secrete lubricating fluids

contain a visceral (inside) and parietal (outside layers) with fluid in the space between. bag around organs as heart and lungs.

Answer 16

serous membranes

Question 17

secrete lubricating fluids

found in digestive and respiratory tract

like cavities that do open to the outside.

Answer 17

mucus membranes

Question 18

types of tissues have continual ability for regeneration.

Answer 18

epithelial tissues

bone tissues

Question 19

which tissues have poor ability to regenerate

Answer 19

muscle tissue

cartilage tissue

Question 20

which types of tissues have no blood supply

Answer 20

cartilage tissues

epithelial tissues (diffusion- replaces itself daily

Question 21

proper term for when tissue can’t repair itself and scar tissue is formed.

secrete fibers and ground substance.

Answer 21

fibrosis or fibroblasts

Question 22

tissues bond together (rom) due to increased collagen fibers secretion caused by immobility, chronic pressure, inflammation, injury steroids (cortison)

Answer 22

adhesion

Question 23

4 changed that occur to connective tissues that result from aging

Answer 23

healing ability- reduced cellular blood supply, metabolic and synthesis rate. risk for chronic illiness: heart disease hypertension, stroke, diabetes, cancer.

flexibility collagen fibers in number, thickness and calcify(maintain with stretching)

muscle tissue mass (maintained with regular exercise)

adipose tissue (reduced with regular exercise)

atherosclerosis: fatty deposits on arterial walls reducing blood supply.

Question 24

between skin and muscle

subcutaneous tissue

contains adipose, lymph, nerves; bursae in joints(fluid filled cavities found in joints, Elbow, knee shoulder)

Answer 24

superficial fascia

Question 25

covers, separate muscles groups.

separates fat from muscle

purpose:connect to periosteum, holds tendons in place; prevent blood pooling in muscles

Answer 25

deep fascia

Question 26

sudoriferous and sebaceous glands are type of

salivary gland.

Answer 26

exocrine
