This type of tissue connects,binds, protects and supports the body and its organs and is the most abundant tissue in the body

What is connective tissue?

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

This type of tissue is found almost everywhere with in the body, including bones, cartilage, mucous membrane, muscles, skin, and all internal organs

What is connective tissue?

This type of tissue consists of relatively few cells in a generous matrix, the ground substance, and fibers between the cells

What is connective tissue?

What are the five types of connective tissue? DaCOV

Dense, adipose, cartilage, osseous and vascular

This type of connective tissue provides a strong attachment between structures (example, include tendons and ligaments)

What is dense connective tissue?

List the five types of dense, connective tissue? FlatPP

-Tendon connects muscle to bone (muscles are tender) -ligament, connects bone to bone - Aponeurosis: connects muscle to muscle or muscle to bone. -Periosteum covers the bone - perichondrium covers cartilage fascia covers muscle in other organs.

This type of connective tissue consists of cells, specialized the store fat

What is adipose tissue?

This type of connective tissue can be found around the heart, kidneys, in yellow bone marrow, and behind the eye-socket…

What is adipose tissue?

This type of connective tissue reduces/prevents heat loss through the skin serves as energy reserves, supports and protects organs

What is adipose tissue?

This type of connective tissue endures more stress than any other type of connective tissue, and is considered a avascular (meaning no blood vessels or nerves run through this type of tissue)

What is cartilage?

This type of avascular tissue gets its nourishment from the perichondrium

What is cartilage?

Name the three types of cartilage?

When is Hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage

This type of cartilage is the most abundant cartilage in the body, and the weakest type of cartilage also known as gristle

What is hyaline cartilage?

This type of cartilage tissue provides flexibility and support at the joints to reduce friction between bones

What is hyaline cartilage?

Two types of this cartilage include articular and costal…

What is hyaline cartilage?

This type of hyaline cartilage tissue is seen at the ends of bones

What is articular cartilage? (Aka between articulations)

This type of hyaline cartilage tissue can be found at the front of your ribs

What is costal cartilage?

This type of cartilage is the strongest of the three types of cartilage, and combines its strength and rigidity to make strong the space between the vertebrae and where the two hip bones meet anteriorly (pubis symphysis)

What is fibrocartilage?

This type of cartilage helps body parts, maintain their shape, and is most famously found on the external part of the ear, in the epiglottis and in the auditory tubes…

What is elastic cartilage?

Osseous, connective tissue the hardest type of connective tissue consist of what substance

What is bone

Vascular connective tissue consist of what substance

What is blood - this liquid connective tissue that carries blood cells

This type of tissue produces movement in response to nerve impulses

What is muscle tissue?

This type of tissue we classify according to structure and function

What is muscle tissue?

This is the muscle tissue that is classified as being either smooth or striated

What is muscle structure?

This muscle tissue classification is considered either voluntary or involuntary

What is muscle function?

Three types of this tissue are skeletal, cardiac and visceral

What is muscle tissue?

This type of muscle tissue is striated involuntary and is attached to the bones of the skeleton

What is skeletal muscle tissue?

This type of muscle tissue is striated and involuntary and forms the wall of the heart

What is cardiac muscle tissue?

This type of muscle tissue is smooth non-striated involuntary and are located on the walls of hollow internal structures, such as blood vessels airways to the lungs, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and urinary bladder

What is visceral muscle tissue? (Post have viscera bags) Visceral = organs

This type of tissue initiates and transmits nerve impulses, and coordinates body activities

What is nervous tissue?

This is composed of two or more tissues, arrange to perform a specific function…

What are organs?

This is defined as an association of tissues, that work together to perform a common function

What are organs?

Otherwise known as independent body parts examples of this include the heart stomach liver, pancreas lungs, brain, intestines, all bladder and kidneys

What are organs?

And association of organs that have a common function…

What are systems?

Examples of this include digestive, nervous, reproductive, circulatory, urinary, skeletal and lymphatic

What are systems?

These are thin sheets of flexible tissue that covers and lines part of the body

What are membranes?

These thin sheets of flexible tissue that cover or line part of the body also contain epithelial and connective tissue, or sometimes just connective tissue

What are membranes?

3 types of this include mucous, Serous and synovial

What are membranes?

This type of membrane lines, a cavity which leads to the outside and also lines the entire respiratory reproductive in much of the urinary system

What is the mucous membrane a.k.a. mucosa

This membrane lines a cavity to the outside and acts as a barrier against microbes and other pathogens

What is the mucous membrane a.k.a. mucosa

Name the three types of membranes

Mucous, serous and synovial

This membrane lines the cavity of freely movable joints, and secrete synovial fluid which lubricates the cartilage that covers bone

What is synovial membrane?

This membrane lines, a body cavity that does not open to the outside and covers organs and secretes serous fluid

What is serous membrane a.k.a. Serosa

This membranes lubricating fluid allows organs to glide easily over each other

What is serous membrane /serosa

What are the three types of serous membranes?

What is pleura pericardium and peritoneum membrane

This serous membrane, lines the thoracic cavity, and covers the lungs.

What is the plural cavity?

Within the pleura, What is the name of the layer that covers the lungs?

What is the visceral pleura?

Within the pleura, What is the name of the layer that is attached to the cavity wall?

What is the parietal pleura?

Within the pleura, what is the name of the space between the visceral pleura, and the parietal pleura?

What is the pleura cavity?

The pleural cavity is filled with what fluid?

What is pleural fluid

Serous membrane lining the heart cavity, and covers the heart

What is a pericardium?

What is the name of the layer that covers the heart?

Visceral, pericardium, a.k.a. epicardium

What is the name of the layer that is attached to the cavity wall?

Parietal pericardium

What is the name of the space between the visceral pericardium in the parietal pericardium?

Pericardial cavity

What fluid is a pericardial cavity filled with?

Pericardial fluid

This serous membrane lines, the abdominal and part of the pelvic cavity covers the abdominal organs and some of the pelvic organS

What is the peritoneum?

What is the name of the layer that covers the organs in the abdominal cavity and some of the pelvic cavity?

What is a visceral peritoneum?

What is the name of the layer that is attached to the cavity wall and lines the wall of the abdominopelvic cavity?

What is the parietal peritoneum?

What is the name of the slim space between the visceral peritoneum in the parietal peritoneum?

What is the peritoneal cavity?

What is the peritoneal cavity filled with?

Peritoneal fluid

This type of dense, connective tissue, connects muscle to bone
