Connective Tissues DENSE Flashcards
DENSE connective tissue
hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibro cartilage, blood, bone
Hyaline cartilage
made up of collagen fibers; chondro cytes; seen in fetal skeleton; found in joints, ends of bone + nose
Lacuna
space in cartilage
Elastic cartilage
made up of elastic fibers/chondro cytes; found in larynx (voice box) + outer ear
Fibro cartilage
made up mostly of collagen fibers; provides a framework for support; found in between vertebrae
5 components of blood
rbc, wbc, platelets, plasma, factor 8
Red Blood Cells
carries hemoglobin (oxygen);
AB (universal recipient)
A
B
O (universal donor)
White Blood Cells
“buffy coat”; plasma to add volume; platelets + factor 8: to help clot + stop bleeding
2 types of bone
compact + spongy
Bone
calcium: important material for bone
osteoporosis: seen in older women + depletion of calcium
osteocytes: bone cells
osteons: “rods” that make up compact bones
