21
Q

connective tissue proper: areolar

A

matrix- gel like with all three fiber types
cells- fibroblasts, marcrophages, mast cells, and other white blood cells

22
Q

function of areolar connective tissue proper

A

wraps and cushions organs
base of most epithelial tissues
reservoir of H2O salts,

23
Q

location of areolar connective tissue proper

A

widely distributed throughout body

24
Q

connective tissue proper: adipose

A

matrix- similar to areolar, less fibers, gel like with all fiber types
cells- adipocytes

25
Q

functions of adipose

A

energy storage
insulation
supports and protects

26
Q

locations of adipose

A

under skin, within abdomen, breasts, and kidneys
local fat depots in highly active organs

27
Q

connective tissue proper: reticular

A

matrix- ground substance with reticular fibers only
cells- reticular cells in fiber network

28
Q

function of reticular

A

internal skeleton to support other cell types

29
Q

location of reticular

A

lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen

30
Q

connective tissue proper: dense regular

A

parallel collagen fibers with few elastic fibers
withstand tension in one direction
cell- fibroblast
poorly vascularized

31
Q

location of dense regular

A

attaches muscles to bone, muscle to muscle, and bone to bone
ligaments and tendons, fascia around muscles

32
Q

connective tissue proper: dense irregular

A

irregularly arranged collagen fibers with some elastic
cell- fibroblast

33
Q

location of dense irregular

A

withstands tension in many directions
found in dermis, digestive tract, fibrous capsules in joints and surrounding organs

34
Q

connective tissue proper: dense elastic

A

high amount of elastic fibers
able to recoil after stretching

35
Q

location of dense elastic

A

ligaments, connective vertebrae, larger arteries, bronchial tube walls

36
Q

what type of tissue would you find between tendons and bone and muscle?

A

dense regular

37
Q

which type of tissue would you expect to find on kidney?

A

dense irreglar
fibrous covering around kidney

38
Q

what type of tissue would be found in capillaries?

A

loose areolar

39
Q

cartilage

A

stands up to tension and compression
made up of collagen fibers for firmness
80% tissue is fluid for rebound
resilient rigidity

40
Q

what cells are cartilage made up of?

A

chondroblasts —> chondrocytes

41
Q

lacunae

A

cavities for chrondocytes

42
Q

hyaline cartilage

A

matrix- amorphous with collagen fibers

43
Q

functions of hyaline cartilage

A

supports, reinforces, and cushions, some pliability
most abundant cartilage

44
Q

location of hyaline cartilage

A

embryonic skeleton between ribs, end of long bones, epiphyseal plates, nose, trachea, and larynx

45
Q

elastic cartilage

A

similar to hyaline but with more elastic fibers
maintains shape and structure while allowing flexibility

46
Q

location of elastic cartilage

A

supports external ear (pinna) and epiglottis

47
Q

fibrocartilage

A

matrix similar to hyaline but with thick collagen fibers
provides strength and absorbs shock

48
Q

location of fibrocartilage

A

intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and menisci of knee

49
Q

bone

A

matrix- hard, calcified with collagen fibers, vascular
cells- osteoblasts—> osteocytes

50
Q

function of bone

A

support and protect
provides levers for muscular action
stores calcium, minerals, and fat
hematopoiesis (blood cell formation)

51
Q

blood

A

matrix- plasma
cells- red and white blood cells (and platelets)
