Chapter 4 Part 2 Flashcards
______ are the embryonic connective tissue and are found in the embryo.
Mesenchyme
______ connective tissue wraps and cushions organs, and is composed of fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and some white blood cells.
Areolar
_____ connective tissue has the primary function of nutrient storage.
Adipose
_____ connective tissue is found in lymph nodes, bone marrow, and the spleen.
Reticular
_____ connective tissue’s major cell type is the fibroblast, and is found in tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses. It’s functions are to attach muscles to bone or to other muscles, and bone to bone.
Dense regular
_____ connective tissue withstands tension in many directions providing structural strength. It is found in the dermis, submucosa of the digestive tract, and fibrous organ capsules.
Dense irregular
_____ cartilage supports, reinforces, cushions, and resists compression. This type of cartilage is found in the end of long bones, the nose, trachea, and larynx.
Hyaline
_____ cartilage is found in the external ear.
Elastic
_____ cartilage provides tensile strength and absorbs compression shock. This type of cartilage is found in intervertebral discs, the pubic symphysis, and in discs of the knee joint.
Fibrocartilage
_____ stores calcium, minerals, and fat. It is also a hard, calcified matrix with collagen fibers.
Bone
_____ is composed of red and white cells in a fluid matrix (plasma) and functions in the transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes.
