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
