Lab 2 - Tissue Organization Flashcards
¤Loosely arranged connective tissue and cells
¤Gel-like matrix
¤Contains many collagen and elastin fibers
¤Most nuclei represent fibroblasts
¤This type of connective tissue can be found deep to skin but superficial to the muscle

Areolar
Epithelial Tissue
Simple Squamous
Epithelial Tissue
Pseudostratified

Simple Columnar
- Filled with fat
- Surrounded by a ring of cytoplasm containing the nucleus

Fibrocartilage
¤Contains densely packed bundles of collagen fibers
¤Very strong
