Q

Areolar connective tissue

A

Loose connective tissue. Fibers and cells suspended in a thick, translucent, ground substance. Predominant cell is the fibroblast. Manufactures the elastic, regular, and collagenous fibers. Surrounds every organ forms the SQ layer that connects skin to muscle envelopes blood vessels nerves and lymph nodes present in all mucous membranes.

154
Q

Adipose connective tissue (fat)

A

Loose connective tissue areola tissue in which adipocytes predominate highly vascular acts as energy storehouse and thermal insulator.

155
Q

Recticular connective tissue

A

Surrounds alot of organs loose connective tissue network of thin reticular fibers contains loosely arranged fibers and many fibroblasts suspended in a supportive ground substance forms the stroma (framework of several organs)

156
Q

Blood

A 
Matrix: 
ground substance: plasma
Fibrous component: protein
Cells:
Erythrocytes: red blood cells
leukocytes: white blood cells
thrombocytes: platelets
transport medium
157
Q

Bone

A

matrix is a combination of organic collagen fibers and inorganic calcium salts. Well vasculated meaning great blood supply helps heal quickly haversian canal contains both a vascular and a nerve supply. canaliculi: channels within the matrix supports passage of blood vessels into deeper portions of tissue very stiff and lots of minerals. osteoblast manufactures the fibers that are part of the matrix. lacunae and canaliculi are creates as the osteoblasts manufactures the bony matrix. osteocytes reside in lacunae cellular extension pass through the canaliculi.

158
Q

Cartilage

A

Poor nerve and blood supply found in joints and in the ear nose and vocal cords forms a framework on which bone is formed no innervation avascular. cells: chondrocytes line in hollowed out pockets in the matrix called lacunae. chondrocytes is what makes up cartilage. matrix: ground substance gel of chondroiton sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and chondronectin. collagen fibers are most commonly found in the matrix but elastic fibers are also present in varying amounts.

159
Q

Hyaline cartilage

A

most common type of cartilage found in the body. composed of closely packed collagen. found in joints at the end of long bones, growth plates of long bones, tracheal rings, and connections of the ribs to sternum. composes most of the embryonic skeleton. enclosed within a perichondrium. rigid

160
Q

Elastic cartilage

A

contains elastic fibers in dense branching bundles. flexible: can withstand repeated bending. found in the epiglottis of the larynx and in pinnae of ears of animals .

161
Q

Fibrocartilage

A

usually found merged with hyaline cartilage and dense connective tissue. contains thick bundles of collagen fibers with fewer chondrocytes than hyaline cartilage. lacks a perichondrium found in spaces between vertebrae of the spine, between bones in the pelvic girdle, and in the knee joint. least common.

162
Q

Muscle tissue

A

Composed of actin and myosin fibers. three types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

163
Q

Skeletal Muscle

A

large cells that contain hundreds of nuclei and mitochondria. usually controlled through conscious efforts (voluntary muscle). skeletal muscle cells are striates. skeletal muscle cells are bundles of fibers held together by loose connective tissues. the collagen fibers that surround the cells merge with the collagen fibers in tendons. allows the body to move and bend.

164
Q

Smooth Muscle

A

composed of small spindle shaped cells that lack striation. muscle contractions cannot be consciously controlled(nonstriated involuntary muscle). found in the walls of hollow organs in exocrine glands and along the respiratory tract. responsible for peristalsis (digestion) in gastrointestinal tract constriction of blood vessels and emptying of urinary bladder.

165
Q

Cardiac Muscle

A

Found only in the heart contains specialized pacemaker cells that supply signals for heart to contract at regular intervals. entirely involuntary and striated cardiac muscle cells connected to one another via intercalated disk.

166
Q

Nervous Tissue

A

found in the brain spinal cord and peripheral nerves composed of two general cell types Neurons and supporting neuroglial cells. brain and spinal cord and central and peripheral.

167
Q

Cell body

A

controls the functions of the cell

168
Q

Axon

A

long single extension conducts impulses away from the cell body

169
Q

Dendrites

A

short cytoplasmic extensions receives impulses

170
Q

Inflammation

A

nonspecific reaction to injury or disease
steps
1. vasodilation
2. swelling
3. clot formation
4. phagocytosis
5. capillaries return to normal size blood flow and fluid leakage into the affected area abate
initial response to injuries goal is to limit further damage and eliminate any harmful agents.

171
Q

Repair

A

Involves organization of granulation tissue and regeneration of lost tissue or formation of scar tissue.

172
Q

First intention healing

A

edges of wound held in close apposition skin forms a primary union without formation of granulation tissue is significant scarring

173
Q

Second intention healing

A

edges of wound separated each another granulation tissue forms to close gap scarring results

174
Q

Third intention healing

A

contaminated wound left open until contamination is reduced and inflammation subsides later closed by first intention also called delayed primary closure.
