Lab 9 Connective Tissue Flashcards
What properties do connective tissues have?
Have cells surrounded by a nonliving matrix composed of ground substances and fibers, rich blood supply,
What tissues are connective tissue proper?
Areolar, adipose, reticular, dense, dense regular, dense irregular and elastic.
Why are tissues loose?
Fibers are not packed tightly
Why are tissues dense
they are tightly packed
Which tissues are loose?
Areolar, adipose, reticular
What tissue looks like a spider web of collagen and elastic fibers
Areolar
What tissue is motified to store lipids (fat) in vesicles, location is under skin
Adipose
What tissue has collagen fibers and are closely regular packed into parallel bundles, it is location in the tendons and ligaments that hold muscle and bones together
Dense regular
What cells have chondrocytes and they live in spaces called lacunae, it is also avascular
Cartilage
What cartilage is most common in the body, in the joints, nose, and next to ribs, matrix cells look blurry and gooey no visible fibers
Hylaine
This cartilage is located in the ear and has dark elastic fibers that are visible
Elastic
What cartilage shocks absorption is located between the knees and vertebrae and has large collagen fibers that are vis me, looks like starry night
Fibrocartilage
What are osteocytes
Bone cells
