30
Q

It is highly cellular, containing fibroblasts, immune cells (e.g., mast cells, macrophages, T cells), and endothelial cells.

A

Areolar LCT

31
Q

It is often found directly underlying epithelia that cover body surfaces or line internal surfaces.

A

Areolar LCT

31
Q

Commonly known as fat

A

Adipose LCT

32
Q

It cushions, supports, insulates and acts as filler tissue.

A

Adipose LCT

33
Q

Its main role is to serve as an energy storing reservoir, but it also insulates the body from extreme temperatures, cushions vital organs, and secretes hormones and biological factors.

A

Adipose Tissue LCT

34
Q

It is mostly present during fetal life and in infants.

A

Brown Adipose Tissue

35
Q

It forms the stroma (literally, “bed” or “mattress”), or the internal framework of an organ.

A

Reticular Tissue LCT

36
Q

The _______ is mostly made up of connective tissue, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.

37
Q

a type of connective tissue with a network of reticular fibers, made of type III collagen

A

Reticular connective tissue

38
Q

Reticulum = ?

A

net or network

39
Q

It serves as the supporting structure of the bone marrow, liver and lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes, and tonsils).

A

Reticular connective tissue

40
Q

Blood is surrounded by a nonliving, fluid matrix called ________ and the formed elements ( cells, corpuscles, and fragments)

A

blood plasma

41
Q

The ______ of blood are soluble protein molecules that become visible only during blood clotting.

42
Q

It is a specialized fluid connective tissue consisting of some cells suspended in a liquid intercellular substance known as plasma.

43
Q

It is considered as specialized connective tissue as it connects all systems of the body.

44
Q

What are the 2 parts of blood?

A

Plasma and blood cells

45
Q

It supports the external ear

A

Elastic cartilage

46
Q

It is the most flexible cartilage and it supports parts of your body that need to bend and move to function.

A

Elastic Cartilage

47
Q

It forms the supporting structures of the larynx, or voice box, attaches the ribs to the breastbone, and covers the ends of many bones

A

Hyaline cartilage

48
Q

It forms the cushion-like disks between the vertebrae of the spinal column

A

Fibrocartilage

49
Q

It is found predominantly in the intervertebral disks of the spine and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons.

A

Fibrocartilage

50
Q

Its main function is to act as a cushion within joints, where it helps manage compression forces and reduces stress placed on joints.

A

Fibrocartilage

51
Q

spindle-shaped fibers

52
Q

Its fibers seem to anastomose with adjacent ones

A

cardiac MT

53
Q

elongated with multi-nucleated fibers, alternating dark and light bands

  1. Skeletal
  2. Smooth
  3. Cardiac
57
Q

A tissue that is responsible for receipt, processing, and transmission of information.

A

Nervous tissue

58
Q

This tissue helps in movement and locomotion, supports the bones and other structures,
and it’s also responsible for peristalsis and parturition.

A

Muscular tissue

59
Q

a tissue that is responsible for voluntary movements and attached to bones by tendons

60
Q

It lacks striations, and is found in the walls of the digestive tract, urinary bladder, arteries, and other internal organs.

61
Q

It forms the contractile wall of the heart.

62
Q

It has branched fibers that interconnect via intercalated disks, which relay signals from cell to cell and help synchronize heart contraction.

63
Q

It develops from the ectoderm of the embryo and it possesses the ability to initiate and transmit the nerve impulse.

A

Nervous Tissue

64
Q

receive impulses from other neurons

65
Q

transmit impulses to neurons, muscles, or other cells

66
Q

These are the structural and functional unit of nervous system.

67
Q

These are special cells found in the brain and spinal cord. They also provide support to the neurons and fibers.

68
Q

These function as endocrine organs that releases chemical from the axons directly into blood.
