true and false:
epithelial tissue can only be classified in 1 way only; according to its shape.
FALSE - STRATA & SHAPE
tissue that connects the whole body/ supports other tissues?
CONNECTIVE TISSUES
type of connective tissue that binds epithelia to underlying tissues & holds organs in place; also called ‘areolar ct’
LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
a strong & flexible support material
CARTILAGE
type of cartilage that support & cushion; found at the end of long bones
LOCATION: cartilage of nose, larynx, trachea
HYALINE CARTILAGE
type of cartilage that absorbs compressive shock; found in vertebral column
FIBROCARTILAGE
it is a cartilage that maintains shape & flexibility that is found in the ear
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
where is fibrous connective tissue located?
found in tendons; irregular arranged which can be found in the body where stress occurs.
what is the type of tissue that stores fat for insulation & fuel?
ADIPOSE TISSUE
adipose consists of…?
adipocytes
common type of adipocytes that provide insulation and stores for starvation.
WHITE ADIPOCYTES
mainly found in newborn animals; acts as heat & consumes energy which is common in hibernating species for survival. What type of adipocytes is this?
BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE
type of adipose that dispersed
within white fat tissue sometimes
generate heat
BEIGE ADIPOSE TISSUE
