Histology: Connective Tissues, muscle, and nervous tissue Flashcards
Fluid Connective Tissue
Blood
Blood:
Found in blood vessels, and Heart Erythrocytes (Transport gases) Leukocytes (immune response) Platelets (clotting) Plasma (transports)
Connective Tissue Proper
Loose connective tissue: Areolar, reticular, adipose
Dense Connective Tissues: Dense Regular, Elastic, Dense irregular.
Loose Connective Tissue:
areolar connective Tissue, Reticular connective tissue, adipose connective tissue
Areolar connective tissue:
subcutaneous layer under the skin, surrounds organs.
chaotic, spider web like
reticular connective tissue
forms stroma of lymph nodes
grapes on a vine
adipose connective tissue
subcutaneous layer of the skin, surrounds organs.
hexagon (6 ish sides) shape
Dense connective tissues
dense regular connective tissue
elastic connective tissue
Dense irregular connective tissue
Dense Regular connective Tissue
Forms Tendons (muscle to bone) *parallel pattern (waves)
Elastic connective tissue:
Trachea
Dark squiggly lines
Dense Irregular connective tissue:
Dermis,
*no pattern, Bacon like :) *
Supporting connective tissue:
Bone or Osseous Tissue: Compact bone
Cartilage Tissues: Hyaline cartilage, Fibrocartilage, Elastic Cartilage.
Bone or Osseous Tissue
Compact Bone
Compact Bone
exterior of bones of the body
*Black and White: Osteon (tree ring/bullseye)
Outer shell of bone
Cartilage Tissues:
Hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage.
