A&P T4 Flashcards
4 Tissue Types
Epithelial (last exam), Connective, Muscle, Nervous
Connective Tissue fxn
Connects, Binds, Protects organs
Two type of Connective tissue cells?
Resident cells and wandering cells
Resident cells examples
adipocytes, fibroblasts, fixed macrophages
Fixed macrophages are what type of cell and what are they derived from
immune cell derived form monocyte
Wandering cells are primarily what type of cell?
white blood cell
- mast cells, plasma cells, free macrophage, neutrophiles, lymphocytes
Mast cells are
heparin (prevents blood clotting), histamine (vasodilates)
Plasma cells produce what
antibodies
Free macrophages are derived from what type of cell
monocytes like fixed macrophage
Neutrophiles fxn
neutralize and eat bacteria
Lymphocytes fxn
attack foreign material
Conn tissue has protein fibers list the three
collagen, reticular, elastic
Collagen fibers are
ropelike
- strong & flexible
Reticular fibers are ___. What does it form?
similar to collagen, smaller
forms scaffolding for cells in organs like lymph nodes, spleen and liver
Elastic fibers form a ___. they are ___ and found where?
- branch/weave
- stretchy
- found in lungs, arteries, skin
Ground substance in conn tissue is __ produced by conn tissue cells. What’s the form that it’s in?
non living produced by connective tissue cells can be viscous, semi-solid, or solid
protein fibers + ground substance =
extracellular material
Scurvy is what type of deficiency and what are some symptoms?
vitamin C deficiency
- weakness, gum ulceration, hemorrhages, abnormal bones
ex: pirate
Functions of conn tissue (6)
physical protection, support and structural frameworm, bining of structures, storage, transport, immune protection
Categories of conn tissue are determined by what
amount of protein fibers vs. ground substance
Two cat of conn tissue inclue
dense and loose conn tissue
What has lots of what and few what?
lots of ground substance, few fibers
fibers arrannged as random framework
Ex of loose conn tissue?
areolar, adipose, reticular
Areolar conn tissue is where in the body and is it vascularized ?
all over body
- highly vascularized
