connective tissue (some muscle) Flashcards
what are the classifications of connective tissue
c.t. proper, fluid c.t, supporting c.t
what are the types of c.t proper
loose: areolar, adipose, and reticular
dense: dense regular, dense irregular, elastic
cells, fibers, location, and function of areolar tissue
fibroblasts, fibrocytes, mesenchymal, immune cells
collagen, elastic, (sometimes reticular)
l: dermis, surrounding visceral organs
f: cushion
cells, fibers, location, and function of adipose tissue
adipocytes, mesenchymal
very little fibers
l: belly, butt, breasts
f: cushion, insulation, preservation of calories/energy
cells, fibers, location, and function of reticular tissue
mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
reticular
l: kidney, liver, spleen
f: framework
cells, fibers, location, and function of dense regular tissue
mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
collagen
l: tendons and ligaments
f: keeps bones aligned and attached with muscles
cells, fibers, location, and function of dense irregular tissue
mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
collagen (sometimes elastic in dermis)
l: dermis
f: stretch, recoil, supports stress from different angles
cells, fibers, location, and function of elastic tissue
mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
elastic
l: wall of blood vessels, in the ligaments used to stabilize your vertebrate
f: recoil, pressure adjustments, stability
what are the types of fluid connective tissue
blood and lymph
cells, location, and function of blood
mesenchymal, red blood cells (erythrocytes)
l: inside blood vessels
f: transport oxygen, co2, h20, hormones, nutrients, etc.
cells, location, and function of lymph
white blood cells
l: inside of lymphatic vessels
f: carries white blood cells, bacteria, and debris to lymphatic organs
what are the types of supporting c.t
cartilage and bone
cells, fibers, location, and function of bone/ osseous tissue
mesenchymal, osteocytes, osteoblasts
collagen (33%)
l: skeleton
f: support body, protect vital organs
what are the different types of cartilage
hyaline, fibro, elastic
cells, fibers, location, and function of hyaline cartilage
mesenchymal, chondrocytes, chondroblasts (avascular)
collagen
l: nasal septum, voice box, ribs connecting to sternum
f: support, framework, structure, connect and reduce friction between joints
cells, fibers, location, and function of fibro cartilage
mesenchymal, chondrocytes, chondroblasts (avascular)
collagen
l: intervertebral discs in between pubic bones
f: support, framework, structure, connect and reduce friction between joints
cells, fibers, location, and function of elastic cartilage
mesenchymal, chondrocytes, chondroblasts (avascular)
elastic
l: ear, epiglottis
f: support, framework, structure, connect and reduce friction between joints
what are the types of muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
what are the characteristics of skeletal muscle
voluntary, multiple nuclei, striated, attached to bones, used for movement of the skeleton
what are the characteristics of cardiac muscle
involuntary, uninucleate, striated (intercalated discs), found in heart, used to pump blood through body
what are the characteristics of smooth muscle
involuntary, uninucleate, no striations, located around hollow organs like digestive tract and blood vessels, and allows substances to move from one place to another
