Q

What is the function of connective tissues?

A

Binds tissues and organs together and provide support and protection

25
Q

What are the main types of connective tissues?

A

Adipose tissues, bones, blood, cartilage, fibrous connective tissues and loose connective tissues

26
Q

What are the cell shape classifications of epithelial cells?

A

Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar and pseudostratified columnar

27
Q

Where are simple squamous epithelial cells found and what is their function?

A

Air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. They allow materials to pass through by diffusion and filtration and secretes lubricating substances

28
Q

Where are simple cuboidal epithelial tissues founds and what is their function?

A

In ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules. They secrete and absorb substances

29
Q

Where are simple columnar epithelial cells found and what is their function?

A

Ciliates tissues are in bronchi, uterine tubes and uterus. Non ciliates tissues are in the digestive tract and bladder. They secrete mucus and the ciliated tissues moves the mucus.

30
Q

Where are stratified squamous epithelial tissues found and what is their function?

A

Skin, lines the esophagus, mouth and vagina. it protects against abrasion

31
Q

Where are stratified cuboidal tissues found and whet is their function?

A

Sweat glands, salivary glands and mammary glands. They are protective tissues

32
Q

Where is stratified columnar epithelial tissues located and what are the function?

A

The male urethra and ducts of some glands.it secretes and protects.

33
Q

Where are pseudrostratified columnar epithelial cells located and what are the functions?

A

Lines the trachea and much of the upper respiratory tract. Secretes mucus, ciliates tissue moves the mucus.

34
Q

Where are transitional epithelial tissues found and what are its function?

A

Lines the bladder, urethra and ureters. Allows the organs to stretch and expand.

35
Q

What are glandular epithelial tissues?

A

Columnar epithelial tissues with goblet cells

36
Q

Where are glandular epithelial tissues found and what is it’s function?

A

Found in specialized gland cells. Synthesize and secretes substances such as enzymes, hormones etc

37
Q

Where are ciliates epithelial tissues found and what is their function?

A

In digestive tract, lungs, nose, uterus, fallopian tube. Absorb and secrete mucus.

38
Q

What is the function of adipose tissues?

A

Energy storage, provide padding and insulation

39
Q

What are bones?

A

Dense and mineralized connective tissues

40
Q

What is the function of bones?

A

Provide support, protect internal organs, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals

41
Q

What is blood?

A

Liquid extracellular matrix containing plasma, erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets

42
Q

What is the function of blood?

A

Transport of oxygen nutrients hormones. Regulation of pH or temperature. Protection eg. Clotting.

43
Q

What is the composition of blood?

A

Plasma, Buffy coat, RBCs

44
Q

What is cartilage?

A

Tissue made up of cells called chondrocytes embedded in a matrix strengthened with fibers of collagen and sometimes elastin

45
Q

What are the 3 types of cartilage?

A

Elastic, hyaline and fiber

46
Q

Describe elastic cartilage

A

Flexible due to presence of elastic fibers

47
Q

Where is elastic cartilage found?

A

Outer ear, larynx and Eustachian tubes

48
Q

Describe hyaline cartilage.

A

Contains mostly type 2 collagen fibers

49
Q

Where is hyaline cartilage found?

A

Lining bone joints

50
Q

Describe fibrocartilage.

A

Contains more collagen than hyaline and contains mainly type 1 collagen. it is the strongest and most rigid cartilage.

51
Q

Where is fiber cartilage found?

A

Intervertebral discs, connects tendons and ligaments to bones

52
Q

Describe fibrous connective tissues.

A

Made up of collagen and fibroblasts, have high tensile and very strong with varying hexibility

53
Q

describe the 2 types of fibrous connective tissue.

A

Regular dense - arranged in parallel bundles
Irregular dense - interweaving layer

54
Q

Give an example of regular dense fibrous connective tissue

A

Tendons and ligaments

55
Q

Give an example of irregular dense fibrous connective tissue.

A

Sclera

56
Q

What is the function of loose connective tissues?

A

Binds epithelium to underlying tissues and hold tissues and organs in place

57
Q

What are the 2 primary cell types in loose connective tissues?

A

Fibroblasts and macrophages

58
Q

What is the function of fibroblasts

A

Secrete proteins of extracellular fibers

59
Q

What is the function of macrophages?

A

Specialized roaming WBCs that engulf pathogens and debris
