Chapter 5 - Connective Tissues Flashcards
What are the Epithelium Tissue classification?
Cell shape and number of layers
What are the Connective Tissue classifications?
More ECM matrix than cells, verses Epithelium and Muscular tissues.
Functions of Adipose Tissue
Lipid storage for energy,
Insulation,
& Cushioning.
Functions of Reticular Connective Tissue
Structural,
Framework for lymph tissue.
Functions of Regular Connective Tissue
Collagen fibers arrange parallel.
Very strong in the direction of fibers.
Locations:
Tendons and ligaments
Functions of Irregular Collagenous Connective Tissue
Collagen fibers arranged randomly.
Very strong in all directions.
Locations:
Dermis of the skin and sclera of eye.
Regular Elastic Connective Tissue
Collagen and elastin arranged fibers.
Strong and elastic.
Location:
Vocal cords.
What are the two types of Dense Irregular Elastic Connective Tissue?
Dense Irregular Collagen
Collagen in all directions.
They’re strong.
Dense Irregular Elastic
Collagen and elastin arranged in all directions.
Strong and elastic in all directions.
Located in the wall of the arteries.
What are the two types of Dense Regular Connective Tissue?
Dense Regular Collagen
Collagen arranged parallel.
They’re very strong.
Located in tendons and ligaments.
Dense Regular Elastic
Collagen and elastin are parallel.
They’re strong and elastic.
Located in vocal chords and nuchal.
What’s Cartilage?
Shock absorption,
Reduces friction against tissues,
& a strong support w/ flexibility
What are the 3 types of Cartilage?
Hyaline Cartilage
Collagen fibers.
Fibro-Cartilage
Lots of collagen,
Very strong because of collagen,
& wherever there’s great amounts of pressure on joints (knee for e.g.).
Elastic Cartilage
Collagen AND elastin
What’s Bone Tissue?
Strong,
Rigid support structure,
& stores calcium and phosphate.
What’s Blood?
Consists of:
Cells -RBC, WBC, and platelets.
F:
Transport of blood gases,
& immune functions (WBCs)
