30
Q

What are the four major subcategories of connective tissue?

A

-fibrous
-cartilage
-bone
-blood

31
Q

Collagenous fibers

A

Fiber found in connective tissue that provide strength and structure to the body (tough, flexible, and resist stretching)

32
Q

What are reticular fibers?

A

-Thin collagen fibers coated with glycoprotein

33
Q

What are elastic fibers?

A

Made of protein called elastin, allows stretch and recoil.

34
Q

What are the two types of bone tissue?

A

Compact and cancellous (spongy)

35
Q

What is an osteon

A

Basic structural unit of compact bone

36
Q

Osteocyte

A

Mature inactive bone cell

37
Q

Osteoblast

A

Active bone-forming cell

38
Q

Osteoclast

A

Bone-destroying cell

39
Q

Ossification

A

Formation of bone from cartilage or membranes (supports, protects, attachment of muscles)

40
Q

What are the 3 types of cartilage?

A

-hyaline cartilage
-fibrocartilage
-elastic cartilage

41
Q

What is hyaline cartilage?

A

Clear, glassy cartilage found on many joint surfaces (usually covered by perichondrium)

42
Q

What does hyaline cartilage do?

A

Eases joint movement, holds airway open, moves vocal cords during speech

43
Q

Where is hyaline cartilage found?

A

Ribs, nose, larynx, trachea

44
Q

What is perichondrium?

A

A dense layer of fibrous connective tissue that covers the surface of most of the cartilage in the body

45
Q

What is elastic cartilage?

A

Cartilage containing elastic fibers, provides flexible, elastic support
(Covered with perichondrium)

46
Q

Where is elastic cartilage found?

A

External ear and epiglottis

47
Q

What is fibrocartilage?

A

Cartilage containing large, coarse bundles of collagen fibers. Resists compression and absorbs shock
(Never has perichondrium)

48
Q

Where is fibrocartilage found?

A

Pubic symphysis, menisci, and intervertebral discs

49
Q

Erythrocytes

A

Red blood cells: transport O2 and CO2

50
Q

Leukocytes

A

White blood cells: defense against infection and other diseases

51
Q

Platelets

A

Cell fragments involved in clotting and other mechanisms

52
Q

Muscle tissue characteristics

A

A

-striations present
-voluntary

54
Q

Smooth muscle

A

-no striations
-involuntary

55
Q

Cardiac muscle

A

-striated
-involuntary
-branching cells forming a syncytium

56
Q

Nervous tissue characteristics

A

-Excitable
-capable of conduction
-communication and integration

57
Q

Regeneration

A

Replacement of cells with new functioning cells of the same type

58
Q

Scar

A

Replacement of cells with fibrous connective tissue

59
Q

How do epithelial cells repair?

A

Cells are replaced by the division of stem cells

60
Q

Do all connective tissue cells have the ability to repair?

A

No

61
Q

Can muscle cells repair?

A

Muscle cells can perform limited repair

62
Q

Can nervous cells repair?

A

Some nervous cells can perform limited repair, others cannot

63
Q

What type of cartilage does not have perichondrium?

A

Fibrocartilage
