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
occurs in sheets: with coarse, tough network of fibers=; dermis of skin, cartilage, fascia
irregular arranged dense connective tissue
with densely packed fibers parallel to each other
regular arranged dense connective tissue
tendon, ligaments, aponeuroses
regular arranged dense connective tissue
cartilages, bones, hemopoietic tissue and blood
specialized connective tissue
examples are mesenchyme, mucous, reticualr, areolar and adipose connective tissues
loose connective tissue
skeleton during embryonic stage; composed of cells located in small spaces called lacunae with collagenous or elastic fibers
cartilages
chondrocytes
cells of cartilage
homogeneous matrix with collagen fibers
hyaline cartilage
bones with joints, nose, larynx, trachea and bronchi
hyaline cartilage
matrix with elastic fibers
elastic cartilage
external ear, auditory tube, epiglottis, larynx
elastic cartilage
little matrix with large collagenous fibers parallel to each other
fibrocartilage
intervertebral disc, tendons, ligaments
fibrocartilage
composed of collagenous and elastic fibers
matrix
rigid form of connective tissue
bone tissue
osseous tissue
bone tissue
comprises most of the skeleton in higher vertebrates
bone tissue
composed of cells located in small cavities of calcified matrix
bone tissue
osteocytes
bone tissue of cells
lacunae
small cavity in bone tissue
canaluculi
narrow channels in bone tissue
radiating from each lacuna are narrow channels which penetrate adjacent canaliculi of neighboring lacunae forming lamellar structure
bone tissue
formation and maturation of blood cells
hemopoietic tissue
located near lymph nodes, liver and spleen
lymphoid tissue (hemopoietic)
forms lymphocytes and monocytes
lymphoid tissue (hemopoietic)
located near the bone marrow
myeloid tissue (hemopoietic)
forms erythrocytes and granulocytes
myeloid tissue (hemopoietic)
composed of blood cells and a fluid intercellular substance
blood tissue
erythrocytes
red blood cells
leukocytes
white blood cells
thrombocytes
platelets
a fluid intercellular substance
plasma
