Connective Tissues

Question 1

What are the functions of connective tissue?

Answer 1

• to provide structural support, such as for burns and cartilage in the skeletal system, and areola tissue, which one is tissues like skin and muscle
• to protect-the school protects the brain, and the ribs protects the heart and lungs
• to transport substances in the blood
• to insulate( how do you poo is a tissue contains fatty deposits to help to prevent heat loss)

Question 2

What are the five types of connective tissue? (AABBC)

Answer 2

•areolar
•adipose
•bones
•blood
•cartilage

Question 3

Where is the location of blood tissues?

Answer 3

Blood tissues are found inside the blood vessels, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins, and also within the chambers of the heart

Question 4

What is plasma?

Answer 4

Liquid cooled plasma makes up about half of the content of the blood. Plasma contains proteins that help blood clot, transport substances through the blood, and perform other functions.

Question 5

What is the other name for red blood cells?

Answer 5

Erythrocytes

Question 6

Which type of blood contains oxygen?

Answer 6

Arterial blood

Question 7

Which type of blood does not contain oxygen?

Answer 7

Venous blood

Question 8

What is the function for all white blood cells?

Answer 8

Important for defending body against infection immune system

Question 9

What are granulocytes?

Answer 9

Can change shape and in golf foreign material such as bacteria

Question 10

What are lymphocytes?

Answer 10

Lymphocytes are a smaller, white blood cell and help make antibodies

Question 11

What are monocytes?

Answer 11

Monocytes or another type of white blood cell, but can leave the circulatory blood vessel to travel to the side of an infection. Good at phagocytosis.

Question 12

What is phagocytosis?

Answer 12

Cellular process for adjusting and eliminating particles, including micro organisms, foreign substances

Question 13

Describe the structure of cartilage

Answer 13

• smooth, translucent, firm substance
• does not contain blood vessels, but nourished by diffusion from the bone
• the extra cellular matrix is secreted by cartilage cells cord chondrocytes and is firm but flexible

Question 14

What is the function of cartilage?

Answer 14

Protects the bone from friction

Question 15

Where is cartilage found?

Answer 15

•nose
•ear flaps
•between bone joints

Question 16

Explain the structure of bone cells(also known as osteocytes)

Answer 16

Osteocytes are trapped in a hard extracellular matrix centric rings, called lamella. Lamella contains blood vessels and nerves. Lots of these rings is called haversian system

Question 17

What is the bone structure?

Answer 17

• very hard, but can be worn away with friction and it is made of calcium salts and collagen fibres

Question 18

What is the function of the skeleton?(bones) spamb

Answer 18

• support: keeps body up, right
• protection: to organs
• attachment: mineral storage
• blood production

Question 19

Where is areola found?

Answer 19

•binds the outer layers of the skin to the muscles beneath
•around blood vessels, nerves, and the organs of the body

Question 20

Describe the structure of areolar

Answer 20

• sticky, white material that binds muscle groups
• it’s matrix is semi fluid and contains collagen fibres and elastic fibres

Question 21

What is the function of areolar?

Answer 21

Offers a form of support and protection to the tissues around it

Question 22

Where is adipose tissue found?

Answer 22

Beneath the skin, but is also found around internal organs such as the heart

Question 23

Describe the structure of adipose

Answer 23

• variation of areolar tissue, jelly like extra cellular matrix
• Consists of cells containing lipids

Question 24

What is the function of adipose?

Answer 24

• store energy to be used by the body if needed
• cushion and protects organs
•insulates the body
