lab 3 Flashcards
what is the function, location & description of neural tissue
transmits electrical signals that control the body
made from neurons and neuroglia found in the brain & spinal cord
cell body long and branched
what is the function, location & description of skeletal muscle
allows voluntary movement, found in biceps etc
striated, clean lines, nuclei squished in the same layer
what is the function, location & description of cardiac muscle
involuntary contraction of the heart
found in walls of heart
branching, straited, nucleus thicc
what is the function, location & description of smooth muscle
involuntary internal propulsion
found in walls of blood vessels
long spindle shaped cells, central nuclei, arranged in sheets
what are 3 types of fibers found in connective tissue
collagen (for tensile strength) reticular fibers (form branched network) elastic fibers (stretchy)
what are 6 major functions of connective tissue
binding supporting protection insulating transport substances store fat & energy substances (Baby SPITS)
______ is split into connective tissue, fluid connective tissue, and supportive connective tissue
embryonic mesenchyme
what is the function, location & description of areolar CT
cushioning, surrounding capillaries and nerves, can be found in papillary layer of dermis + hyperdermis & directly under epithelial tissue, looks like a lot of layers with dark spots and dark hair-like lines
what is the function, location & description of adipose tissue
storage of fat, insulation, support and protect organs
found in hyperdermis, breast fat, brown fat. looks like bubble wrap
what is the function, location & description of reticular CT
supportive framework for soft lymphatic organs, can be found in lymphatic organs eg. liver, looks like cherry blossoms
what is the function, location & description of dense REGULAR CT
attaches muscles to bones/ bones to bones, is able to withstand tensile stress
found in tendons and ligaments
looks wavy, collagen fibers, tighly packed
what is the function, location & description of dense IRREGULAR CT
ability to withstand tensile stress from any direction
looks messy
can be found in reticular layer of dermis
what is the function, location & description of elastic CT
stretchy and has elastic recoil
can be found in walls of arteries
dark staining and curly
what is the function, location & description of blood
transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, waste, hormones, etc
found in blood vessels
?looks like blood? only thing with RBC and WBC
what is the function, location & description of hyaline cartiledge
provides flexible support & cushioning/resist compression stress
found in nasal cartilage/covering ends of bones
stains smooth and pretty like (like some noses), chondrocyte in lacuna (corn nuts!), has defined circles
what is the function, location & description of elastic cartilage
provides flexible support,
found in larynx, ear, epiglottis
looks like hyaline, but more elastic fibers, many chondrocyte in lacuna
what is the function, location & description of fibrocartilage
cushions and withstand tensile & compression stress
can be found in knee menisci
looks tighter than other cartilages b/c less firm matrix and collagen fibers form bundles
what is the function, location & description of compact bone
proved rigid support and protection for the body, reservoir for minerals
can be found at the shaft of long bones
looks like stained glass with dark centre
what is the function, location & description of spongy bone
withstands stress from many directions, reduces weight of skeleton, forms framework to support and protect developing blood cells in bone marrow
can be found at the end of long bones
looks like a lot of little dots with clear ring
which 2 major tissue types make up the majority of the integument system
epithelial & connective
