In relation to connective tissue, what role to fibroblasts play in maintaining the body structure of this tissue
secrete collagen proteins to make collagen (fibre)
where in the body are reticular fibres most commonly found?
wrapped around organs
connective tissue proper can be further split up into 2 parts. Which type has a pre-dominance of collagen fibres?
dense
dense connective tissue can be further split up into two categories. Name the type that’s found within tendons and ligaments
regular
irregular dense connective tissue is found within aponeurosis … true or false
false - it’s found in the dermis and membranes ie. joint capsules, around organs etc
there are three types of cartilage. which type is the meniscus of the knee made up of?
fibrocartilage
what differenciates regular and irregular dense connective tissue proper?
the arrangement of the closely packed fibres ie. if they’re located in one direction it’s regular, if they’re oriented in multiple direction it’s referred to as irregular (regular in tendons, irregular in dermis)
another name for loose connective tissue
areolar tissue
