Q

Describe the secretion method and location in the body of simple exocrine glands

Q

Describe the secretion method and location in the body of tubuloacinar exocrine glands

A

Tubuloacinar glands secret from both their face and the tube of the duct, often secreting different things from the different locations. The are found in the pancreas where tubular component produces bicarbonate and acinar component produces digestive enzymes

What is abnormal cell growth called?

A

Neoplasia

collagen

36
Q

What is Granulation in tissue

A

Active Cell Growth

37
Q

What is the terming for the abnormal joining of tissue and what is the common cause?

A

Adhesion caused by surgery or sometime inflammation

38
Q

What is cofactor is very important for the formation of connective tissues and collagen

A

Vitamin C

39
Q

What are issue effecting tissue repair

A

Nutrition, Blood circulation, Aging

40
Q

What are three common Age related issues with tissue repair

A

Change in collagen quality, elastin fibers fragment, cell division and protein synthesis slow down

41
Q

What happens to elastic fibers with age?

A

The fibers fragment and abnormally bind to calcium

42
Q

What are the common cells of connective tissue

A

Fibroblasts, Microphages, Mast Cells, Adipocytes

43
Q

What the fibers of connective tissue

A

Collagen, Elastin fibers, and Reticular cells

44
Q

Describe reticular fibers and their function

A

Small collagen fibers, used to anchor ell loosely in place for processing.

45
Q

What are Reticular fiber for and where are they found?

A

Loose network of reticular fibers and cells. Found in sinusoidal capillaries. Used to increase contact for processing such as liver and lymph nodes
