Connective Tissue Flashcards
What are the two main categories of connective tissue proper
Loose
Dense
What are the three kinds of loose connective tissue
Areolar
Adipose
Reticular
What type of connective tissue gets the waste from other cells
Connective tissue proper - loose - areolar
What type of loose connective tissue can be described as packing peanuts
Areolar tissue
What type of connective tissue has lots of fluid
Areolar (loose)
What is the name of the fat tissue
Adipose tissue
Connective tissue proper -loose
Is adipose loose or dense tissue
Loose
Is adipose tissue avascular or highly vascularized, why
Highly vascularized
So that when the nutrients are needed, the blood vessels are right there to grab them
What type of tissue only has reticular fibers
Reticular tissue
Is areolar tissue loose or dense
Loose
Is reticular tissue loose or dense
Loose
What type of tissue is found in soft organs
Reticular tissue
What are the three types of dense tissue
Regular
Irregular
Elastic
What type of tissue has closely packed collagen fibers running in the same direction
Regular dense tissue
Is regular dense tissue highly vascularized or poorly vascularized
poorly
Why is an injury with regular dense tissue such a big deal
It does not repair easily, and will never have the same strength it did before
Which type of tissue has thicker bundles of collagen fibers: regular or irregular dense tissue
Irregular
Why is irregular dense tissue resistant to stretching in multiple directions
The bundles of collagen fibers run in random directions
Elastic conective tissue proper is a similar form of what type of tissue, but containing more of what
Dense regular
Elastic fibers
What are the three types of cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Elastic
Fibrocartilage
