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

Connective Tissue Proper
Areolar

Epithelial Tissue
Simple Squamous

Epithelial Tissue
Pseudostratified

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

Connective
Adipose
- Glossy matrix

Cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage

Simple
Stratified squamous

Connective
Areolar

Epithelial
Simple Cuboidal

Epithelial
Transitional
- Very ordered microscopically
- Rows of lacunae separated by alternating roles of collagen
- Shock absorber

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

Connective Tissue Proper
Dense Regular
¤Provide supporting framework for organs in the lymphatic system, liver and kidney
