Question 2

fibroblast is in all connective tissue except

Answer 2

reticular tissue

Question 3

when fibroblast is dormant it is a

Answer 3

fibrocyte

Question 4

what are the only cells found in tendons?

Answer 4

fibroblasts . fibroblasts also form fibers

Question 5

what are the three types of fibers

Answer 5

1. collagenous (white) 2 reticular fibers. elastic fibers CLE

Question 6

What is the purpose of connective tissue ?

Answer 6

1. supports and binds structures together
2. protects against compressive, shearing and tensile forces
3. helps with distribution of nutrients
4. removes broken down cells and foreign bodies
5. stores iron to be used in hematopoiesis
6. insulates and acts as a cushion (fat)
7. provides a pathway for nerves
8. prevents the spread of infection
9. allows for movement
10. allows for growth
11. supports posture

Question 7

The nature of ground substance provides the basis of subdividing connective tissue in three categories

Answer 7

A. soft ground substance: connective tissue proper
B. firm but flexible connective tissue is cartlilage
C. Rigid ground substance is bone

Question 8

Dense connective tissue

Answer 8

Ligament
tendons
aponeurosis

Question 9

Ligaments

Answer 9

bone to bone
bone to cartilage
cartilage to cartilage

Question 10

tendons

Answer 10

muscles to bone

Question 11

aponeurosis

Answer 11

muscle to muscle

Question 12

what is the innervation of connective tissue proper

Answer 12

propriocepters (position)
nocioceptors ( pain)
pacinian corpuscles (pressure) reduce function to protect the joint
golgi corpuscles (stretch sensation

Question 13

proprioceptors

Answer 13

position

Question 14

nocioceptors

Answer 14

pain

Question 15

golgi

Answer 15

stretch

Question 16

pacinian

Answer 16

pressure ( reduce function to protect the joint)

Question 17

proprioceptors

Answer 17

monitor position and function
when ligament proprioceptors are stimulated they produce an inhibitory response in muscle activity and protect the muscle

Question 18

nocioceptors

Answer 18

monitor pain

Question 19

pacinian corpuscles

Answer 19

pressure receptors

Question 20

golgi corpuscles

Answer 20

stretch sensation

Question 21

composition of ligaments

Answer 21

dense regularly arranged fibrous connective tissue

Question 22

action of ligaments

Answer 22

passive restraints that limit extreme joint movement with the aid of muscles

Question 23

what DONT ligaments do

Answer 23

they dont keep articular surfaces together or maintain joint postion on muscles can do that

Question 24

how can a ligament be damaged

Answer 24

-strain
-laceration
-detachment

Question 25

continued microtrauma induces what in ligaments

Answer 25

-elongation
-looseness
-other degenerative changes

Question 26

articular ligaments do not have what?

Answer 26

articular ligaments do not have any elastic fibers

Question 27

what happens when ligaments are overstretched?

Answer 27

they do not return to their original length and this causes laxity of the joint

Question 28

two accessory ligaments of the mandible

Answer 28

sphenomandibular
stylomandibular

Question 29

what are the functional ligaments of the tmj

Answer 29

capsular ligament
discal ligaments (medial and lateral)
temporomandibular ligament

Question 30

capsular ligament

Answer 30

-vascularized and innervated
-surround the joint and allows containment of fluid , the TM ligament and the discal ligaments

Question 31

The capsular ligament acts to do what ?

Answer 31

resist any medial,lateral and inferior forces that tend to seperate or dislocate the articular surfaces
