25
This tissue is found in tendons and ligaments
Dense fibrous tissue
26
a fibrous tissue that connects bones to bones at joints
Ligaments
26
a fibrous tissue that attaches skeletal muscles to bones
Tendons
27
It is the most widely distributed connective tissue variety in the body, is a soft, pliable, “cobwebby” tissue that cushions, wraps, and protects the body organs from falling.
Areolar LCT
28
Functions as a universal packing tissue and connective tissue “glue” because it helps to hold the internal organs together and in their proper positions.
Areolar LCT
29
What are the types of loose CT?
1. Areolar 2. Adipose 3. Reticular
30
It is characterized by relatively loosely arranged collagen and elastic fibers.
Areolar LCT
30
It is highly cellular, containing fibroblasts, immune cells (e.g., mast cells, macrophages, T cells), and endothelial cells.
Areolar LCT
31
It is often found directly underlying epithelia that cover body surfaces or line internal surfaces.
Areolar LCT
31
Commonly known as fat
Adipose LCT
32
It cushions, supports, insulates and acts as filler tissue.
Adipose LCT
33
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.
Adipose Tissue LCT
34
It is mostly present during fetal life and in infants.
Brown Adipose Tissue
35
It forms the stroma (literally, “bed” or “mattress”), or the internal framework of an organ.
Reticular Tissue LCT
36
The _______ is mostly made up of connective tissue, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
stroma
37
a type of connective tissue with a network of reticular fibers, made of type III collagen
Reticular connective tissue
38
Reticulum = ?
net or network
39
It serves as the supporting structure of the bone marrow, liver and lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes, and tonsils).
Reticular connective tissue
40
Blood is surrounded by a nonliving, fluid matrix called ________ and the formed elements ( cells, corpuscles, and fragments)
blood plasma
41
The ______ of blood are soluble protein molecules that become visible only during blood clotting.
fibers
42
It is a specialized fluid connective tissue consisting of some cells suspended in a liquid intercellular substance known as plasma.
Blood
43
It is considered as specialized connective tissue as it connects all systems of the body.
blood
44
What are the 2 parts of blood?
Plasma and blood cells
45
It supports the external ear
Elastic cartilage
46
It is the most flexible cartilage and it supports parts of your body that need to bend and move to function.
Elastic Cartilage
47
It forms the supporting structures of the larynx, or voice box, attaches the ribs to the breastbone, and covers the ends of many bones
Hyaline cartilage
48
It forms the cushion-like disks between the vertebrae of the spinal column
Fibrocartilage
49
It is found predominantly in the intervertebral disks of the spine and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons.
Fibrocartilage
50
Its main function is to act as a cushion within joints, where it helps manage compression forces and reduces stress placed on joints.
Fibrocartilage
51
spindle-shaped fibers
smooth MT
52
Its fibers seem to anastomose with adjacent ones
cardiac MT
53
elongated with multi-nucleated fibers, alternating dark and light bands
skeletal MT
54
specialized to receive and transmit impulses from one part of the body to the other parts.
neurons
55
It supports the nerve cells
Neuroglial Cells
56
What are the types of muscle tissue?
1. Skeletal 2. Smooth 3. Cardiac
57
A tissue that is responsible for receipt, processing, and transmission of information.
Nervous tissue
58
This tissue helps in movement and locomotion, supports the bones and other structures, and it's also responsible for peristalsis and parturition.
Muscular tissue
59
a tissue that is responsible for voluntary movements and attached to bones by tendons
Skeletal
60
It lacks striations, and is found in the walls of the digestive tract, urinary bladder, arteries, and other internal organs.
Smooth
61
It forms the contractile wall of the heart.
Cardiac
62
It has branched fibers that interconnect via intercalated disks, which relay signals from cell to cell and help synchronize heart contraction.
Cardiac
63
It develops from the ectoderm of the embryo and it possesses the ability to initiate and transmit the nerve impulse.
Nervous Tissue
64
receive impulses from other neurons
Dendrites
65
transmit impulses to neurons, muscles, or other cells
Axons
66
These are the structural and functional unit of nervous system.
Neurons
67
These are special cells found in the brain and spinal cord. They also provide support to the neurons and fibers.
Neuroglia
68
These function as endocrine organs that releases chemical from the axons directly into blood.
Neurosecretory Cells
69
It is concerned with the transmission of impulses, specialized to receive and transmit impulses from one part of the body to the other parts.
Nervous Tissue
70
This tissue exhibits syncytium and striations or striae
Muscle Tissue
