Q

Connective tissue

A

is the most diverse and abundant class of tissue. It is characterized by having few cells
surrounded by extracellular matrix

Q

Extracellular matrix

A

has two main components: protein fibers and ground substance. Depending on the type of connective tissue,
the matrix may be solid, semi-solid, gelatinous, or fluid.

Q

Elastic fibers

A

have the ability to stretch and return to their original shape. We find these fibers in tissues that need to be
able to stretch and recoil without breaking.

Q

Areolar Connective Tissue

A

Areolar connective tissue is a loose, irregular connective tissue that acts as a general space filling tissue in our
bodies. It is an irregular tissue because the connective tissue fibers run in all directions, this allows the tissue
to withstand forces from multiple directions.

Q

Reticular Connective Tissue

A

Reticular connective tissue is characterized by the presence of 3-D interlocking network of reticular fibers. these fibers surround and support the cells
located within the tissue. These fibers form a STROMA, or framework for support.

Q

Hyaline Cartilage Connective Tissue

A

consists of a dense network of collagen fibers in a gel-like matrix. Cartilage is avascular and
will have few cells in an abundant amount of matrix. The collagen fibers have the same refractive index as the
matrix and are not visible. The cartilage cells, known as chondrocytes, are found in spaces called lacunae.

Q

Elastic Cartilage Connective Tissue

A

is very resilient and flexible due to the presence of numerous elastic fibers imbedded in the
matrix. Elastic cartilage contains numerous chondrocytes in lacunae. Specialized staining makes the elastic
fibers distinct and easy to locate.

23
Q

Fibrocartilage Connective Tissue

A

s characterized by the presence of numerous bundles of collagen fibers visible within the
matrix. The matrix contains chondrocytes located within lacunae. The collagen fibers give the tissue great
tensile strength, and it is found in areas where firm support and strength are needed.

25
Q

Dense Bone Connective Tissue

A

dense bone reveals the presence of osteons or Haversian systems. Osteons have a
significant amount of matrix with few spaces. At the center of an osteon is a space known as a central canal,
the canals run the length of the bone and contain blood vessels and nerves. The smaller spaces in the osteon
are called lacunae. The cells within the lacunae are osteocytes.

26
Q

Blood Connective Tissue

A

is a liquid connective tissue with a fluid matrix known as the plasma. The formed elements (or cells)
include leukocytes (white blood cells), erythrocytes (red blood cells) and platelets. Blood cells will be studied
in more detail in lab next semester with the circulatory system. For now, you should be able to distinguish
between leukocytes, erythrocytes and platelets.

28
Q

3 basic components of a neuron

A

first is the perikaryon (soma) or cell body, the
perikaryon contains the typical organelles including the nucleus. Extending out from the perikaryon are two
main types of cell processes: axons and dendrites.

stratified squamous epithelium.
