Lab Two Flashcards
Three types of connective tissue
1) connective tissue proper
2) fluid connective tissue
3) supporting connective tissue
Two types of connective tissue proper
Loose and dense
Three types of loose connective tissue proper
Areolar, adipose, reticular
Three types of dense connective tissue proper
Regular, irregular, and elastic
Two types of fluid connective tissue
Blood and lymph
Two types of supporting connective tissue
Cartilage and bone
Three types of cartilage tissue
Hyaline, elastic, fibrous
Two types of bone tissue
Compact, spongy
Functions (3) of areolar connective tissue
Padding, elastic stretch for independent movement, and highly vascularized phagocytic cells which defend against pathogens
Function and location of macrophages and mast cells
Defence; areolar connective tissue
What takes up most of the space in adipose cells?
Lipids
Three functions of adipose tissue
Padding, insulation, energy stores
Which type of connective tissue provides structural frameworks for liver, kidney, spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow
Reticular connective tissue
What makes dense regular connective tissue appear regular?
Parallel collagen fibres
Which type of connective tissue provides firm attachments, conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction of muscles, and stabilizes relative position of bones?
Dense regular connective tissue
Which type of connective tissue are tendons and ligaments made (mostly) of?
Dense regular connective tissue
What makes dense irregular connective tissue appear irregular?
Interwoven collagen fibres
What connective tissue provides strength and support in many directions, and helps prevent over expansion of organs like the urinary bladder? Found in dermis and nerve/muscle sheaths
Dense irregular connective tissue
Hyaline cartilage is composed of ______ cells, lying in spaces called ______
Condrocytes
lacunae
The matrix of hyaline cartilage appears…
Translucent/absent of prominent fibres
Two main functions of hyaline cartilage?
Stiff but somewhat flexible support
Reduces friction between bony surfaces
What kind of fibres are visible in fibrocartilage?
Collagen fibres
What is the special functions of fibrocartilage?
Collagen fibres follow stress lines and are more regularly arranged to resist compression and absorb shock
What is the special function of elastic cartilage?
Provides support but resists distortion
Function of osteocytes
Maintain and monitor protein and mineral content of matrix
Function of osteoblasts
Secrete organic components of matrix, and are responsible for osteogenesis
Osteoprogenitor cells
become daughter cells then osteoblasts; they are crucial for repairing broken bones
Osteoclasts
Osteolysis; dissolve bony matrix to increase [Ca+ and phosphate] in body fluids
