What are the characteristics of connective tissue?
Come from mesencymal origin (mesoderm, endoderm, ectoderm); has a RESIDENT cell that makes the tissue, has an EXTRACELLULAR matrix, degrees of vascularity.
The extracellular matrix is made up of a _____ ______ (which determines consistency), _____ and a _____ _____ (like fibroblasts).
The extracellular matrix is made up of a ground substance (which ______ ________), fibers and a resident cell (like _________).
Loose connective tissue includes _______ Tissue (found in the dermis, organs, under the skin, and mucous membranes); _____ (fat, found everywhere); _______ Tissue (found in the spleen, lymph, and liver).
Loose connective tissue includes Areolor Tissue (found in the ____, ____, ____ _____ _____, and _______ membranes); Adipose (__, found ________); Reticular Tissue (found in the _____, _____, and ______).
Dense connective tissue includes _____ ________ tissue (found in ligaments and tendons); _____ ______ tissue (found deep in the skin or deep in the dermis); ______ ______ (found in the Aorta).
Dense connective tissue includes Dense Regular tissue (found in ______ and _____); Dense Irregular tissue (found deep in the _____ or deep in the _____); Elastic Tissue (found in the ______).
All dense connective tissues have resident cells that are ____________.
All _____ ________ tissues have resident cells that are FIBROBLASTS.
There are three different types of cartilage: _____ (found in trachea, nose, end of long bone); ______ (found in ears and epiglottis), and _____________ (found in intervertebral disks and pubic synthesis)
There are three different types of cartilage: hyaline (found in _______, _____, end of long ____); elastic (found in ___ and _______), and fibrocartilage (found in _____________ ____ and ______ synthesis)
Hyaline and Fibrocartilage both have __________ as their resident cells. While Elastic cartilage has _________ has a resident cell.
_______ and _________ both have chondroblasts as their resident cells. While _______ cartilage has chondrocytes has a resident cell.
________ tissue is bone created around a _____ tissue. The layers are called ______. The tiny canals that connect the osteocyte to the central canal are called __________.
Osseus tissue is bone created around a blood tissue. The _______ are called lamella. The ___ canals that connect the osteocyte to the ______ ____ are called canoliculi.
A ground substance consists of a) _________ ____ between the cells, b) ___________, sugar proteins which determine how dense and loose the matrix is, and c) _______ _______.
A ground substance consists of a) interstitial fluid between the ____, b) proteoglycan, sugar proteins which determine how dense and loose the matrix is, and c) adhesion proteins.
There are three kinds of fibers that are found in the extracellular matrix: _______ fiber (protein, rope like, strongest), _____ fibers (stretch), ________ fiber (interwoven, mostly on blood cells).
There are three kinds of fibers that are found in the extracellular matrix: collagen fiber (____, ____ like, strong___), elastic fibers (_____), reticular fiber (_______, mostly on _____ cells).
Also found in the ground substance is hyaluronic acid (found in ??), chondroitan sulfate, and dermatan sulfate.
Also found in the ground substance is _________ acid (found in loose connective tissues, under the skin), _______ sulfate, and _________ sulfate.
