Connective Tissue Flashcards
Characteristis of connective tissue
most common more matrix than cells fibers run through matrix holds structure and support different vascularity
strongest protiens body makes
collagen or white fibers
vitamin c and mineral copper are needed to form these
collagen fibers
tiny versions of collagen fibers
reticular fibers
do what collagen cannont, return to original posision once pulled or stretched
elastic fibers or yellow fibers
loose connective designed to store fat
adipose tissure
beneith skinm aroundjoints, padding kidneys, etc.
adipose tissue
like within lacunae and arranged in circles
osteocytes
where are osteocytes located
bone tissue
rigid connective tissue , provides framework
cartilage
lacks vascular system and heals slow
cartilage
cells that create tissue
fibroblast
thick white fibers , very strong, made by fibroblast through protein synthesis
collagen fibers
the more room in the matrix= more blood vessels found
capillary
type of WBC, commonly count it CT. , releases histamine or heparine
mast call
neutrophil or monocyte
white blood cell
small collagen fibers, secreted by fibroblasts
reticlular fibers
fluid filled space between cells
matrix or IT
very vascular, rule breaker- has cellularity
adipose tissue
makes upframework of hallow organs(spleen,liver,lymph noder)
loose reticular
very vascular to filter lymph
loose reticular
packed with fibers- not much room for blood vessels, slow healing
dense irregular
stregnth in all directions
dense irregualr
