Anatomy Tissue Part 2 Test Flashcards
Skeletal muscle tissue
striated and voluntary
Smooth muscle tissue
non-striated, involuntary
Cardiac muscle tissue
striated and involuntary
lamellae
Bone matrix is hardened minerals arranged in concentric circles called
Serous membrane
Layer of simple squamous epithelium and thin layer of loose connective tissue
Mucous membrane
Epithelium overlying layer of loose connective tissue
Synovial membrane
Fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue
cutaneous membrane
skin
skeletal
The muscle tissue that can be consciously controlled is
blood vessels and release heparin and histamines
Mast cells in connective tissue are located near
osteocytes
Bone cells are called
collagenous fibers
in parallel bundles, flexible, slightly elastic, white fibers
elastic fibers
Thin, branching, stretch easily, yellow fibers
Reticular fibers
thin collagen fibers; highly branched; form delicate networks
Found in the brain nerves and spinal cord, it’s cells can receive and transmit sensory info, includes neuroglia cells for support
Characteristics of nervous tissue
loose connective
Adipose tissue is a specialized type of
fibroblasts
The most common type of cell in connective tissue is
tensile strength
The ability of connective tissue fibers to resist pulling forces is
hyaline cartilage
Looks like white glass; very fine collagen fibers, ends of bones
elastic cartilage
Dense network of elastic fibers, framework for ears
Fibrocartilage
Very tough with many collagen fibers; knees and intervertebral disks
hyaline cartilage
The most common type of cartilage is
lacunae
Chondrocytes occupy small chambers within the matrix called
dense connective tissue
Tendons and ligaments are composed primarily of
connective tissue
Cartilage is a form of
connective tissue
Collagenous fibers can be found extensively in
Loose connective tissue/areolar tissue
fibroblasts, collagen and elastic fibers, vascular
Adipose tissue/fat
fat droplets, little matrix, type of loose connective
Cartilage
Collagen fibers, chondrocytes, no direct blood supply
Bone
Hard matrix, osteocytes, blood supply in osteonic canals
Blood
Fluid matrix, RBC, WBC, platelets, vascular
Cartilage tissue lacks a direct blood supply
Why would it be difficult for cartilage tissue to heal following an injury
Collagen and elastic; gel-like
Loose connective tissue contains _____ and _____ fibers and a ______ matrix
Areolar
The type of tissue referred to as a loose connective tissue is
Osteonic canals
Bone cells are arranged in concentric circles around longitudinal tubes called
stomach and intestines
Smooth muscle is found in the wall of the
Heart
Cardiac muscle is found in the wall of the
Bone
Osteocytes embedded in mineralized matrix; contains blood vessels in central canal
cardiac muscle tissue
found only in the heart, striated, single nucleus per fiber
adipose tissue
Fat, acts as a source of energy, provides insulation
Skeletal muscle tissue
voluntary, striated
Loose connective tissue/areolar tissue
Holds organs together and fills spaces between them
Smooth muscle tissue
Not consciously controlled, found in walls of internal organs
Cartilage
chondrocytes is living cell, nonvascular, very slow in healing
Blood
Matrix is liquid, helps maintain homeostasis
Nervous tissue
Coordinates and controls body activities; found in brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Dense connective tissue/fibrous tissue
forms ligaments and tendons, many closely packed collagenous fibers
Hyaline cartilage
most common type, looks like white glass
Elastic cartilage
Framework for ears and parts of larynx
Fibrocartilage
shock absorber
