Body tissues and their properties Flashcards
4 primary tissue types
connective
muscle
nerve
epithelium
connective tissue mostly from
mesoderm
connective tissue encompasses
tendons, ligaments, bone, cartilage, dermis, fat, blood
muscle mostly from
mesoderm
three types of muscle
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
nerves develop from
ectoderm
haematoxilin stains
basophilic (acidic) substances
haematoxilin is
purple
eosin stains
basic substances
eosin is
pink
types of things eosin stains
§ Cytoplasm and protein is often basic (collagen, muscle etc.)
types of things haemattoxilin stains
DNA/RNA
ground substance
matrix
space between cells
fluid
extraceullar matrix made up of
ground substance and fibres
types of connective tissue differs by
cell type, ground substance, orientation of fibres,
3 types of connective tissue
loose, dense, complex
examples of complex connective tissue
bone, fat, cartilage
fibres are produced by
fibroblasts
3 types of fibres
collagen, reticular, elastic
collagen fibres
thicker - usually is tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, dermis
reticular fibre
thin collagen fibres that form a mech network
scaffold to support cells
elastic fibres
thin, straight, branched structure, made of elastic protein
allows for stretch and recoil
3 types of loose connective tissue
adipose, areolar, reticular
adipose
requires a blood supply, store energy and support organs
areolar
mostly collagen and elastin
abundant ground substance - space
