connective tissue

Question 1

areolar connective tissue

Answer 1

jelly-like matrix
a network of long, branched fibres

Question 2

adipose tissue or fatty tissue

Answer 2

areolar connective tissue that contains fat

Question 3

dense, connective tissue

Answer 3

white, non-elastic fibres

Question 4

functions of dense, connective tissue

Answer 4

as ligaments, it binds bone to bone
tendons bind muscle to muscle, bone, or other structures
forms fibrous sheaths of muscle
forms the membranes around bone and cartilage

Question 5

yellow, elastic connective tissue

Answer 5

large quantities of yellow, elastic fibres

Question 6

hyaline cartilage

Answer 6

elastic tissue
jelly-like
contains chondrin
no blood vessels

Question 7

functions of hyaline cartilage

Answer 7

prevents friction in joints
gives shape to the structures

Question 8

fibrous cartilage

Answer 8

non-elastic white fibres
cartilage cells in the matrix

Question 9

white fibrous cartilage

Answer 9

between the bone and muscle
connect muscle to bone
prevents friction

Question 10

elastic cartilage

Answer 10

contains yellow, elastic fibres
contains chondrin

Question 11

bone

Answer 11

large quantities of calcium with carbonate and phosphate
collagen ensures that bone is not brittle

Question 12

lamallae

Answer 12

appear to be layered lamellae arranged around a central canal (Haversian canal)

Question 13

osteocytes

Answer 13

bone cells
in lacunae
they reach into the canaliculi

Question 14

lacunae

Answer 14

cavity
between lamellae
they reach into the canaliculi

Question 15

canaliculi

Answer 15

connect the osteocytes with the haversian canal
canals between bone cells

Question 16

haversian canal

Answer 16

haversian canals contain blood vessels, a nerve fibre, and a lymph vessel
a number of haversian canals with the lamellae form a haversian system

Question 17

lamellae

Answer 17

thin layers/plates that are typically arranged in circles around central canals

Question 18

where to find lamellae

Answer 18

in compact bone tissue and hyaline cartilage

Question 19

haversian system

Answer 19

bone tissue consists of a number of haversian systems

Question 20

periosteum

Answer 20

a hard connective tissue membrane
surrounds bone

Question 21

spongy bone

Answer 21

generally the inside of bony structures has a system of bone platelets

Question 22

blood

Answer 22

opaque, salty, sticky fluid with a bright red colour when it flows from arteries and a darker red colour when flowing from veins
almost metallic smell
slightly alkaline

Question 23

blood plasma

Answer 23

the liquid component of blood

Question 24

inorganic substances

Answer 24

water
salts
gases

Question 25

organic substances

Answer 25

proteins glucose fats waste products

Question 26

main function of the blood plasma

Answer 26

1. transport blood components 2. maintenance of a constant body temperature 3. transport of blood corpuscles

Question 27

three types of blood corpuscles

Answer 27

red blood cells (erythrocytes) white blood cells (leucocytes) blood platelets (thrombocytes)

Question 28

red blood corpuscles

Answer 28

erythrocytes flat biconcave discs no nucleus when mature

Question 29

where are red blood corpuscles produced

Answer 29

in the red marrow of bones

Question 30

function of red blood corpuscles

Answer 30

transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Question 31

haemoglobin in a compound with oxygen

Answer 31

oxyhaemoglobin

Question 32

white blood corpuscles

Answer 32

leucocytes produced by the red marrow, spleen, and lymph glands play an important role in the immune system have nuclei

Question 33

how white blood is classified

Answer 33

granular or agranular

Question 34

blood platelets

Answer 34

thrombocytes small discs without nuclei

Question 35

the function of blood platelets

Answer 35

forming of clots and clotting of blood

Question 36

haemophilia

Answer 36

a genetic condition where one of the blood clotting factors is absent sufferers can bleed to death from a small wound.
