hyaline cartilage
26
covers the endof bones where bones come together to form joints
hyaline cartilage
27
can withstand repeated compression
hyaline cartilage
28
contains bundles of collagen in the matrix that are usually more visible under microscopy
fibrocartilage
29
found in the disk between vertebrae and in some joints such asknee and temporomandibular joints
fibrocartilage
30
where do elastic cartilage found
external ears, auditory tubes and epiglottis
31
able to recoil to its original shape when bent
elastic cartilage
32
is a hard connective tissue that consists of living cells and mineralized matrix
bone
33
types of bone
compact bone/ cortical bone cancellous bone/spongy bone
34
found in the long bones and is surrounded by compact bone
spongy bone/ trabecular/ cancellous
35
characteristics of compact bone
heavy, tough and compact in nature
36
functions of the blood
blood is fluid connective tissue blood provides the body's cell with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide blood transports nutrients and hormones blood regulates body temperature platelets clot blood at sites of injury blood brings waste products to the kidney and liver red blood cells are the most numerous living cells in blood white blood cells protect the body from pathogens
37
blood is composed of what
55% plasma 45% formed elements
38
how many percent does white blood cells and platelets have in our body
less than 1%
39
serves as a variety of functions, from maintaning a satisfactory blood pressure and volume to supplying critical proteins for blood clotting and immunity
plasma
40
normal range of albumin
3.4 to 5.4 g/dL ( 34 to 54 g/L)
41
serves as antibodies and transport substances. it is a diverse group or protein transport various substances in the blood and primarily are involved in defense mechanism of the body
globulins
42
normal range of globulin
2.0 to 3.5 g/dL
43
main protein of human blood plasma
albumin
44
three types of plasma proteins
albumin globulin fibrinogen
45
types of globulins
alpha beta gamma
46
main function is to regulate the oncotic pressure of blood
albumin
47
a type of plasma protein that is made in the liver
fibrinogen
48
responsible for normal blood clotting
fibrinogen
49
highly differentiated which functionally, are specialized for the transportation of oxygen
red blood cells/ erythrocytes
50

52
production of red blood cells
erythropoiesis
53
lifespan of rbc
120 days
54
structure of red blood cells
biconcave , anucleate
55
the protein that binds oxygen and carbon dioxide
hemoglobin
56

57
cause of anemia
low rbc count low hemoglobin concentration deformed RBC
58
result of anemia
decreased oxygen availability
59
protect body against microorganism and remove dead cells and debris
white blood cells
60
other term for white blood cells
leukocytes
61
production of white blood cells
hematopoiesis
62
life span of WBC
several hours to several days
