chapter 2: classifications of CT Flashcards
LOOSE CT:
- _____ # of cells and cell types
- ____ fibers
- _______ amounts of ground substances
- quite vascular
larger
fewer
increased
greater and lesser omenta is _______ CT
loose, areolar
Loose CT is know as filler CT, found around ___ ___
blood vessels
papillary layer of dermis is ____ ____ CT
loose irregular
beneath epithelium in organ is ___ ___ CT
loose irregular
DENSE CT
- has _____ cells and cell types
- _____ fibers
- ______ amount of ground substance
- less vascular
fewer
many
decreased
reticular layer of dermis is __ __ CT
dense irregular
nerve sheaths, organ capsules are __ __ CT
dense irregular
tendons, ligaments and aponeuroses are __ __ CT
dense regular
CT that provides support in highly cellular areas/organs
reticular CT
CT that is quite vascular and contains areas of loose areolar CT
adipose
MC adipose in adults
white adipose
primary cell type: unilocular white adipocytes one large droplet
white adipose
adipose with functions:
lipid storage within adipocytes
produce adiopokines (cytokine hormones)
store large amounts of LIPASE
white adipose
lipid storage within adipocytes for:
store energy
thermoregulation
protect/cushion organs
producing adipokines is important for _______
leptin
2 major functions of leptin
inhibit appetite
regulates formation of new adipocytes
storing large amounts of lipase function to:
break down TGs
split TGs to release FFA for exchange w/ FA
white adipose is located in:
kidney heart w/in liver bone marrow hypodermis
adipocytes are smaller and mutiocular
very limited amounts in adults
increase with COLD
brown adipose
function of brown adipose
thermogenesis
general CT rule #1: an increase in the # of _____ should lead to an increase in ___________
cell types
healing potential
general CT rule #2: an increase in _______ should lead to an increase in _______
vascularity
healing potential
cartilage, bone, blood are all ______ CT
specialized
