Intro into anatomy and histology

Question 1

system

Answer 1

Association of organs with a common function

Question 2

organ

Answer 2

structures composed of 2 or more tissues

Question 3

tissue

Answer 3

group of similar cells together with their intercellular matrix and perform a specific function

Question 4

Epithelial tissue function

Answer 4

covers body surfaces; lines body cavities, forms glands

Question 5

connective tissue function

Answer 5

protects and supports the body and its organs, binds organs together, stores energy reserves

Question 6

muscle tissue function

Answer 6

Movement, cells are capable of contracting

Question 7

nervous tissue function

Answer 7

initiates and transmits nerve impulses

Question 8

connective tissue is made up of what fibres?

Answer 8

collagen
elastin
reticular

Question 9

connective tissue consists of?

Answer 9

cells in an intercellular matrix which contains fibres and ground substance

Question 10

collagen fibres

Answer 10

high tensile strength, little stretch

Question 11

elsatin fibres

Answer 11

elastic, stretches without breaking

Question 12

reticular fibres

Answer 12

thin collagen fibres, net-like

Question 13

ground substance is?

Answer 13

Gelatinous proteoglycan -protein/sugar

Sponge-like, absorbs water

Resists compressive forces

Question 14

loose connective tissue

Answer 14

lots of matrix, few fibres
adipose tissue: fat

eg. areolar tissue (beneath epithelium)

Question 15

dense connective tissue

Answer 15

lots of fibres, little matrix

eg. cartilage, bone, ligament, fascia

Question 16

cartilage basic

Answer 16

ends of growing bones

Question 17

tendon

Answer 17

connects muscle to bone

parallel collagen fibres

Question 18

ligament

Answer 18

connects bone to bone

parallel collagen fibres

Question 19

fascia

Answer 19

flat irregular sheet of fibrous connective tissue that covers, supports, and separates muscle. Resists pull from all directions

Question 20

what is cartilage?

Answer 20

Flexible connective tissue with jelly-like matrix

Dense network of collagen and elastic fibres and special cells (chondrocytes)

Question 21

types of cartilage

Answer 21

hyaline, eslastic, fibrocartilage

Question 22

hyaline properties

Answer 22

Glassy, smooth, decreases friction

Contains collagen and elastin

Resists pressure

Lines joints

Question 23

elastic properties

Answer 23

more flexible, tolerates distortion

ear, nose, epiglottis

Question 24

fibrocartilage properties

Answer 24

more collagen fibre

stronger, resists compression

binds pubic bones, vertebrae

Question 25

bone is made of

Answer 25

Matrix composed of mineral salts and collagen fibres. osteocytes (special cells)

Question 26

bone function

Answer 26

support & protect the body
provide movement
store minerals
house red bone marrow.

Question 27

ligament function

Answer 27

sensory organs: proprioception
mechanical constraint

limits wanted movements
prevents unwanted movements

Aligned with line of pull

Acts at end of range
