Lecture 13 Flashcards
Non-living meshwork of supportive tissue
Extracellular Matrix
Make up the bulk of supportive protein fibers
Collagen
A protein that provides an elastic component to some supportive tissue
Elastin
Proteoglycan found in all cartilages
Chondroitin
Attaches skin down onto underlying muscle and bone. Allows skin to move freely over bone
Fascia
Modified fascia that contains adipocytes that stores lipids
Adipose
Produce blood cells that break off from it and float freely in the blood
Hemopoietic Tissue
Collagen fibers are close-packed and all aligned in the same direction. Muscle to bone. Strongest tissue
Tendon
Dense irregular connective tissue can resist stretch from all directions. Supports skin.
Dermis
Dense fibrous connective tissue containing elastin, bone to bone or organ to bone. Strong but stretches to absorb stress. In arteries and veins
Ligament
Contains large amounts of chondroitin. Found in moving joints
Hyaline
Contains chondroitin and collagen. Found in weight-bearing joints
Fibrocartilage
Contains elastin, chondroitin, collagen. Forms external ear pinna and glottis
Elastic
Found in heads of long bones, filled with marrow
Cancellous (spongy) bone
Contains collagen and calcium hydroxyapatite. Found in shafts of long bone
Haversian (compact) Bone
Forms dense flat plates of bone. Found in skill and ribs
Laminar Bone
The skin, covers and protects the body
Cutaneous Membrane
The mucosa, covers and protects the inner surfaces of the body
Mucous Membrane
The serosa, lines the inner surface of some of the body cavities
Serous Membrane
Line the cavities between freely moving joints
Synovial Membrane
