Anatomy intro 3 Flashcards
ductless gland
endocrine gland
secretes hormones through duct
exocrine gland–mucous, sweat, oil, liver, pancreas
stratified cuboidal epithelium
rare–largest ducts of sweat glands, mammaries, salivary
exocrine gland types
tubular
alveolar
coiled, branched, compound
collagen
does not branch, bundles, heating denatures, flex but not stretch
elastic fibers
always solitary, branches profusely, forms networks
Reticular fibers
small/short fibers, fine/delicate networks
embryonic CT cells
mesenchyme
Areolar CT location
under epithelium, surrounding organs, salt reservoir
mesenchyme
star shapped
CT proper
all vascularized to dif degrees
Dense CT
Regular
Irregular
Collagen fibers
Dense regular CT
poorly vascularized, tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
Dense irregular CT
vascular, dermis, fascia, fibrous capsules
Hyaline cartilage
airway cartilage, embryonic skelleton, ends of ribs, most common, support, reinforcement
