Connective Tissue Flashcards
loose arrangement of fibers in the matrix
loose connective tissue
cells are farther apart separated by jelly-like matrix with white collagen fibers and yellow elastic fibers
loose connective tissue
fibroblasts
cells for loose connective tissue
for elasticity
yellow elastic fibers
for flexibility and strength
white collagen fibers
lies beneath the epithelium of the skin and most of the internal organs
loose connective tissue
during the embryonic development; disappears in the adult
mesenchyme connective tissue
composed of fine fibers in the fluid matrix
mesenchyme connective tissue
composed of large and stellate fibroblasts in soft and jelly-like matrix with fine collagenous fibers
mucous connective tissue
example is umbilical cord
mucous connective tissue
composed of stellate cells in matrix with reticular fibers
reticular connective tissue
lumphoid organs, one marrow, liver
reticular connective tissue
composed of round or oval cells in matrix with collagen and elastic fibers
areolar connective tissue
mesenteries, omentum of alimentary canal, subcutaneous tissue, submucosa of digestive tract
areolar connective tissue
no formation of matrix
adipose connective tissue
storage of fats
adipose connective tissue
composed of globular with nuclei compressed in the peripheral rim of cytoplasm
adipose connective tissue
contains many collagen fibers that are packed closely together
dense (fibrous) connective tissue
fibrous
dense connective tissue
more specific functions in vertebrates than loose connective tissue
dense connective tissue
with less amorphous ground substance
dense connective tissue
