Regular CT- long and wavy like wood grain w/o branching. Contains collagen and fibrocyte nuclei
Irregular CT- collagen fiber bundles, fibroblast nucleus, and ground substance extend in several directions (marbled meat)

The ground substance of cartilage contains _____ _____.
Chondroitin sulfate
Chondrocytes occupy small spaces within their _____.
Lacunae
_____ is the connective tissue that envelops cartilage where it is not at a joint. The outer fibrous layer is for strength and the inner cellular layer is for growth and maintenance.
Perichondrium
Chon- is the prefix that refers to _____.
Cartilage
The ground substance of bone contains three things:
Collagen fibers, hydroxyapatite, and osteoblasts.
_____ are the small channels through the matrix in bones that access blood supply.
Canaliculi
The tissue covering the bone surface containing a fibrous and cellular layer is called:
Periosteum
List the four types of membranes:
Mucous, serous, cutaneous, and synovial
The connective tissue in a mucous membrane is referred to as _____ _____, but consists of _____ CT.
Lamina propria, areolar
_____ membranes line cavities NOT open to the outside and are perfect thin but incredibly strong. They contain fluid to reduce friction.
Serous
The two “sheets” of a serous membrane are referred to as the _____ portion, which covers the outside/cavity, and the _____ portion, which covers the inside/organs.
Parietal, visceral
_____: lines the pleural cavities and covers the lungs
Pleura
_____: lines the peritoneal cavity and covers abdominal organs.
Peritoneum
_____: lines pericardial cavity and covers the heart.
Pericardium
_____ membranes contain epithelium, areolar tissue, and dense irregular CT. It is thick, waterproof, and dry.
Cutaneous
_____ membrane lacks true epithelium because there are “gaps” in the membrane. It contains a _____ fluid that helps lubricate connection between bones, and it is comprised of areolar tissue and epithelium.
Synovial (x2)
Neural tissue contains two types of neural cells:
Neurons (actual nerve cells) and neuroglia cells (support, repair, and supply nutrients to neurons).
The three major parts of a neuron:
Soma - cell body
Dendrites - root like branching extending from soma. It receives information.
Axon - long tube like structure extending from soma. It sends info to other cells
The epidermis is composed of what type of epithelium?
Keratinocytes (Keratinized Stratified squamous)
The dermis is composed of what type of tissue?

Stratum basale has ___ layer(s) and contains three types of cells:
1, karatinocytes (tough and water insoluble), melanocytes (containing melanin protein), and tactile cells (send messages to nerve cells/sensitive to touch)
Stratum spinosum is ___ layer(s) thick and contains two types of cells:
8-10, Karatinocytes (tough and water insoluble) and epidermal dendritic (phagocytic immune cells that engulf invading pathogens)
