20
Q

Fibrocartilage function

A

shock absorbtion

21
Q

Osseous function

A

protection and support

22
Q

Blood tissue location

A

circulates through body

23
Q

Blood tissue function

A

carries oxygen and nutrients

24
Q

what does the matrix contain

A

epithelial cells, macrophage, elastic fibers, mast cell, collagen fibers, ground substances, capillary, fibroblast, basement membrane

25
what do epithelial cells do?
cover inside and outside surfaces of body (simple squamous, stratified squamous, etc.)
26
what does the basement membrane do
provides cell and tissue support, thin and sheet like
27
what does macrophage do
costume bacteria
28
macrophage shape
round oval shape
29
fibroblast shape
long, flat, large
30
function of elastic fiber
provide elasticity and resilience to tissue
31
capillary function
transport blood, nutrients, and oxygen
32
capillary shape
very thin
33
mast cell shape
oval and irregular
34
ground substance function
active in development and movement of tissues
35
ground substance shape and description
transparent and colorless, fills space between cells
36
collagen fibers function
give skin strength and elasticity
37
loose ct vs fibrous/dense connective tissues
skin to organs and organs to organs vs muscle to bone and bone to bone
38
3 main types of cartilage
-hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
39
what is tissue
a collection of cells
