Stretch (bladder, urethra, etc)

34
Q

Types of connective tissue

A
  1. Fibrous CT

2. Special CT

35
Q

Components of all Fibrous CT

A

Cells:

  • Fibroblasts
  • leukocytes
  • adipocytes

Extracellular Matrix:

  • Interstitial fluid
  • collagen fibers
  • elastic fibers
  • reticular fibers
  • Blood vessels
  • nerves
36
Q

Fibroblasts

A

Make protein fibers (ex. collagen)

37
Q

Leukocytes

A

Macrophages, mast cells (release histamine)

38
Q

Adipocytes

39
Q

Collagen fibers

A

Give strength, turn H2O to gel

40
Q

Reticular Fibers

A

Create mesh to hold cells in place

41
Q

Interstitial fluid contains what?

A

Contain H2O, gas, hormones, and waste

42
Q

Blood vessels role for cells

A

Leak plasma; become ECM

43
Q

Nerves

A

Provide sensation

44
Q

Types of fibrous CT

A

Loose and dense fibrous. Loose fibrous CT contain more ground substance, less fiber. Dense fibrous CT contain less ground substance, more fiber.

45
Q

Types of loose fibrous CT

A

Areolar CT: underneath all ET
Adipose tissue: Store fat
Reticular CT: create a net to hold cells in place

46
Q

Type of dense fibrous CT

A

Dense regular CT: collagen fibers run parallel (strong in 1 direction) ex: Ligament
Dense Irregular CT: collagen fibers different directions (multi-directional strength) ex: skin

47
Q

Epithelial Tissue function and attributes

A
  1. Form a continuous layer of cells
  2. All attached to basement membrane. Its function is to attach to ET and CT and act as a filter between ET and CT
  3. Avascular; nutrients and O2 come from areolar CT
  4. polarity; basal surface and apical surface
48
Q

A

1: Tight Junction
2. Desmosomes
3. Gap junction

49
Q

A
  1. merocrine gland (exocytosis) ex: most sweat glands,, mucus glands
  2. apocrine glands (break off apical PM) ex: mammary gland, prostate gland
  3. holocrine gland (entire cell dissolves) ex: sebaceous gland
62
