Body Tissues Flashcards
Characteristics of Loose (Areolar) connective tissue
binds skin to underlining organs
Characteristics of dense connective tissue
Is ligaments and tendons, Poor blood supply
Characteristics of Adipose Tissue
Insulates beneath skin, cushions joints, (adipocytes-fat cells)
where is elastic tissue found?
found in large arteries, larger airways
characteristics of reticular connective tissue
liver/spleen and other lymphatic organs are made of this
characteristics of cartilage
made of chondrocytes
characteristics of hyaline cartilage
most common, found on end of bones
where is elastic cartilage located?
located at external ears
characteristics of fibrocartilage
shock absorbers, vertebrate as discs, toughest
characteristics of bone tissue
most rigid of all tissue, makes blood cells, osteocytes around central cavity, good blood supply
characteristics of blood tissue
plasma is a watery substance(extracellular) in blood(85%)
what tissue has three different fibers, has white blood cells floating around and also darker spots
Areolar connective tissue
what tissue has big round spots that are squeezed together with the nucleus’s on the sides
Adipose tissue
what tissue has squiggly lines that branch out from each other and have little dark spots all over
reticular connective tissue
what tissue has collagen fibers(other stuff) all swirling around(like Van Gogh)
dense irregular tissue
what tissue is like the flowing of the ocean, smooth
dense regular tissue
what tissue is a bunch of tightly packed squiggly lines
elastic connective tissue
what tissue(cartilage) has groups of a bunch of cells(more than 2) all stuck together with nucleus’s in the middle
Hyaline cartilage
what tissue has two cells connected to each other with flowy dark lines
elastic cartilage
what tissue has branches of white with close together cells(but not really touching)
fibrocartilage
what tissue has big circles with a dark dot in the middle with rings on a tree with ant looking things on the rings
bone tissue
what tissue has little cells floating around(like gas molecules) with white and red
blood tissue
