Connective Tissue Flashcards
Produces large histamines in response to antigens: allergic reactions
Mast Cells
“fat”; stores energy; thermogenesis
Adipose
“macrophage”. leukocytes that digest microbes.
Histiocyte
Fills spaces between organs
Connective tissue
Wound healing
Fibroblast
mature lymphocytes; produces antibodies
Plasma Cells
Immature pigment cells
Melanoblast
Mature pigment cells
Melanocyte
Walls of arteries
Lamellar sheets
Connective tissue that gives rise to most tissues.
Mesenchyme
Chondroblasts formed by endochondral ossification are created here
Growing Cartilage
Mature cartilage cells
Chondrocytes
The articular surface of long bones, trachea, ribs, and skull
Hyaline Cartilage
Similar to Hyaline cartilage but with elastic fibers instead of collagen finers
Elastic cartilage
A mixture of white fibrous tissue.
Fibrocartilage
Cartilage Growth: increase in width; Appositional: increase in length (True or False)
FALSE (Opposite)
Product of chondroblast activity
Appositional
Product of mature chondrocyte activity
Interstitial
The bone marrow is the storage of blood vessels (True or False)
FALSE (central cavity)
Bone tissue grows by endochondral ossification to form the temporary cartilage model. (True or False)
TRUE
Mineral homeostasis and blood cell production are functions of the bone tissue. (True or False)
TRUE
The cancellous bone encapsulates the compact bone. (True or False)
FALSE (other way around)
Blood is a connective tissue. (True or False)
TRUE
The blood is made up of Erythrocytes, Platelets, Plasma, and Leukocytes. (True or False)
TRUE
