Q

Tight Junctions

A

formed by the diffusion of the outer layers of two plasma membranes.
Prevents the diffusion of fluids and solutes between the cells.
Adhesion belts lie deep between the tight junctions.
Tied to microfilaments of the terminal web.

Q

Lymphocytes

A

White blood cells, produce antibodies and kills infected cells.

23
Q

Collagen

A

Strong and thick

24
Q

Elastin

A

Stretchy and thin

25
Q

Reticular fibers

A

Like wires, form a trap for cells.
These are in the lymph nodes and the liver

26
Q

What is ground substance?

A

Fills in space between cells and fibers.
Consistency determines the physical nature of connective tissue (proper, liquid, and supporting)

27
Q

Superficial Fasciae

A

Also known as the hypodermis or subcutaneous layer. Adipose Tissue .
Between skin and underlying organs.

28
Q

Deep Fasciae

A

bound to capsules, tendons and ligaments.
forms a strong fibrous internal framework. Dense connective tissue (middle)

29
Q

Subserous Facia

A

Between serous membranes and deep fascia. Areolar tissues. (deep)

30
Q

From what does lymph forms?

A

From the tissue fluid and blood plasma that leak out of capillaries.

31
Q

Perichondrium

A

around the cartilage.

32
Q

Chondrocytes

A

Cartilage cells

33
Q

Lacunae

A

the cavity in which the cell is in.

34
Q

Interstitial growth

A

Enlarges cartilage from within; embryonic development through adolescence; does not occur in adults.

35
Q

Appositional Growth

A

Increases size by adding to the outer surface; development only occurs in adults after minor damges.

36
Q

What does the matrix in cartilage contain?

A

Chondroitin Sulfates

37
Q

Canaliculi

A

Microscopic passageways between cells; that allow diffusion of nutrients and waste to and from osteocytes.

38
Q

Central Canal

A

Longitudinal canal in the center of an osteon that contains blood vessels and nerves.

39
Q

Perichondrium

A

The layer that surrounds a cartilage (around cartilage)

40
Q

Periosteum

A

The layer that surrounds the bone (around the bone)

41
Q

Neuron

A

A cell in nervous tissues that is specialized for intercellular communication though changes in membrane potential and synaptic connections.

42
Q

Dendrites

A

Receive messages from other nerve cells from the external environment.

43
Q

Neuron Body

A

Contains genetic information
Processing and transmitting information.

44
Q

Axons

A

Transmits electrical impulses or action potentials aways from the cells body. Conducts the message.

45
Q

Neuroglia

A

Supporting cells maintain the physical structure of tissues

46
Q

Inflammation

A

Mast cells release histamine which initiates inflammation.
It causes redness, heat, swelling and sometimes pain.

47
Q

Why is redness causes during inflammation?

A

The increased diameter of blood vessels increases blood flow creating redness and warmth.

48
Q

What causes swelling/edema and pain during inflammation?

A

Histamine makes blood vessels leaky so plasma leaves the blood and enters the tissues creating swelling.
Macrophages are present during the whole process.

49
Q

Regeneration

A

Tissues is replaced by the same tissues.
The repair process restores normal function after inflammation has subsided

50
Q

Fibrosis

A

Tissues that are replaced with dense irregular connective tissue.
Cardiac muscles cells are replaced with scar tissue because they cannot regenerate.

51
Q

What tissues that regenerate easily?

A

Epithelial and most connective tissues

52
Q

Which tissues regenerate poorly?

A

Cartilage and cardiac muscles

53
Q

What tissues are replaced largely with scar tissues?

A

Cardiac, nervous and severely damaged cartilage tissues.
