Connective Tissue is known as the ______ ______
body’s glove
The role of connective tissue is to _____ (tendons and ligament) and _______ the other tissues (cartilage and bone)
bind
support
The role of connective tissue is to bind (_______ and _________) and support the other tissues (_________ and _____)
tendons
ligament
cartilage
bone
Some connective tissue specialize in _________ (blood) and ______ _______ (adipose tissue)
transport
energy storage
Which type of tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body?
Connective Tissue
All connective tissue contain cells embedded in an extra-cellular _______
matrix
What is a matrix?
consists of protein fibers and a noncellular material called ground surface
ground surface may be ______, _____, or _________
solid
fluid
gelatinous
What are the three types of protein fibers found in matrix?
1) Collagen Fibers
2) Elastic Fibers
3) Reticular Fibers
Which type of matrix fiber is this: strong and rope like and can withstand pulling because of their great tensile strength
Collagen Fibers
Which type of matrix fiber is this: contain random coils and can stretch and recoil like a spring
Elastic Fibers
Which type of matrix fiber is this: found in skin, lungs, and blood vessels
Elastic Fibers
Which type of matrix fiber is this: thin strands of collagen that branch extensively, forming interconnecting networks suitable for supporting soft tissues
Reticular Fibers
All 3 types of fibers (collagen, elastic, and reticular) are produced by cells called __________ in the connective tissue.
fibroblasts
__________-repair tears in body tissue
fibroblast
What are the two broad categories of connective tissue?
- proper
2. specialized
What is the difference between proper and specialized connective tissue?
proper- loose and dense connective tissue
specialized- cartilage, bone, and blood
What are the types of proper connective tissue?
1) Areolar Connective Tissue
2) Adipose (fat) Tissue
3) Dense Connective Tissue
What are the types of specialized connective tissue?
1) Cartilage
2) Bone
3) Blood
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: functions as a universal packing material between other tissues
Areolar Connective Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: contains cells that are specialized for fat storage
Adipose (fat) Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: forms strong bonds because of its large amounts of tightly woven fibers
Dense Connective Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: widely distributed; found under skin, around organs, between muscles
Areolar Connective Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: wraps and cushions organs
Areolar Connective Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: found under skin, around kidneys and heart
Adipose (fat) Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: functions in energy storage and insulation; cushioning for organs
Adipose (fat) Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: found in tendons and ligaments
Dense Connective Tissue
Which type of proper connective tissue is this: forms strong bands that attach bone to muscle or other bone
Dense Connective Tissue
Which type of specialized connective tissue is this: is tough but flexible
Cartilage
Which type of specialized connective tissue is this: makes up the skeletal system
Bone
Which type of specialized connective tissue is this: a specialized connective tissue consisting of a liquid matrix, called plasma
Blood
_________ serves as cushioning between certain bones
Cartilage
The cells in cartilage (chondrocytes) sit within spaces in the matrix called __________
laccinae
True or False: Cartilage lacks blood vessels and nerves, meaning they heal very quickly
False; cartilage lacks blood vessels and nerves, meaning they heal very slowly
What are the three types of cartilage?
1) Hyaline Cartilage
2) Elastic Cartilage
3) Fibrocartilage
What is the most abundant type of cartilage?
Hyaline Cartilage
Gristle is what type of cartilage?
Hyaline Cartilage
Which type of cartilage is this: found at the ends of long bones, where it allows one bone to slide easily over another
Hyaline Cartilage
Which type of cartilage is this: forms parts of the nose, ribs, larynx, and trachea
Hyaline Cartilage
Elastic Cartilage is more flexible than _______ cartilage, because of the large amounts of wavy elastic fibers in its matrix
hyaline
Elastic Cartilage is found in the external ear, where it provides ________ and ________
strength
elasticity
True or False: Fibrocartilage contains more cells than either hyaline or elastic cartilage
False; Fibrocartilage contains fewer cells than either hyaline or elastic cartilage
Fibrocartilage, like hyaline cartilage, its matrix contains _______ ______
collagen fibers
Which type of cartilage is this: forms a cushioning layer in the knee joint as well as the outer part of the shock-absorbing disks between the vertebrate of the spine
Fibrocartilage
Fibrocartilage is made to withstand _______
pressure
What is the purpose of yellow marrow and red marrow?
yellow marrow- storage of lipids
red marrow- production of blood cells
The bone’s matrix is hardened by ________
calcium
True or False: Bone is living
True
In bones, good blood supply supports _______
healing
What is plasma?
in which so-called formed elements are suspended
What is the difference between red blood cell and white blood cells?
red blood cells- transports oxygen to cells and also carries some of the carbon dioxide away from cells
white blood cells- help to fight infection
________- assist in clotting
platelets
white blood cells + ________= protection of the body
platelets
_____ ______ _____ + platelets= protection of the body
white blood cells
