Q

ground substance

A

Gel like substance that helps absorb compression in the body.
made up of glycosaminoglycan’s, proteoglycans and glycoproteins.
\
Nutrients can diffuse through ground substance. Ground substance’ of extracellular matrix is an gelatinous material. It is transparent, colorless, and fills the spaces between fibers and cells.

binds skin to muscles.

27
Q

loose adipose

A

Composed of fat cells that are filled with lipids. ENERGY SOURCE. Insulation.

Under the skin (hypodermis).
“Pads” around organs.

28
Q

dense regular

A

Fibers Run in same direction in a more ordered fashion. Fibers are parallel. \

Ligaments: Attach bone to bone Tendons: Attach muscle to bone

29
Q

dense irregular

A

Fibers run in different direction. Less ordered. Fibers are bundled capsules

Dermis of the skin and joint

30

33
Q

osteoblast

A

Immature active cell. Helps to form bone by producing osteoid (organic portion of matrix).

osteocyte

A

Mature bone cell. Maintains bone. Resides in lacunae.

35
Q

osteoclast

A

Cell which has enzymes that break down bone maintain calcium levels.

36
Q

haversian system

A

1.Osteocyte lie within space called lacunae.

  1. Arranged in a concentric (circular) matrix called Lamellae, around a canal (opening) called Haversian Canal.

Q

What is the most widespread and abundant types of tissue in the human body?

A

connective tissue

38
Q

fribrous dense connective tissue

A

Matrix is mostly collagen and some elastic fibers packed tightly together

Connects muscles to bones (tendons) and bones to bones (ligaments)

39
Q

Cartilage

A

Matrix is gel-like
Made of collagen fibers and chondroitin sulfate
