Connective Tissue, location, description Flashcards
Tissue that connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues
or organs
Connective Tissue
Three main components of Connective Tissue
Cells, Fibers, and Ground substance
Fibers are separated from each other by ground substance
Loose connective Tissue
Fibers are closely packed
Dense connective Tissue
Gel-like matrix with all three fiber types, Cells of areolar connective tissue, what tissue is this
Areolar connective tissue
The location of this tissue is widely distributed under epithelia, Packages organs, surrounds capillaries
Areolar connective tissue
Closely packed adipocytes Have a nucleus pushed to one side by a fat droplet, Richly vascularized, what tissue is this
Adipose Tissue
The location of this tissue is Under the skin, Around kidneys, Behind eyeballs, within the abdomen, and in breasts, Hypodermis
Adipose Tissue
Network of reticular fibers in loose ground substance, what tissue is this
Reticular Connective Tissue
the location of this tissue are the Lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen
Reticular Connective Tissue
Collagen fibers are parallel to the direction of pull, Fibroblasts are located between collagen fibers, Contain few elastic fibers, Have great tensile strength, are Poorly vascularized, Forms fascia, what tissue is this
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
The location of this tissue is the Tendons and ligaments, Aponeuroses, and Fascia around the muscles
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Collagen fibers are thick and irregularly arranged and contain some elastic fibers and fibroblasts, what tissue is this
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
The location of this tissue Dermis of the skin, Submucosa of the digestive tract, Fibrous capsules of joints, Capsules surrounding organs, such as kidneys, bones, and lymph nodes
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Elastic fibers predominate, what tissue is this
Elastic Connective Tissue
