31
Q

areolar tissues

A
  • Gel-like matrix with all three fiber types; fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and even some white blood cells.
  • Wrap and cushion organs, its macrophages phagocytize bacteria, is important with inflammation, packages organs, and surrounds capillaries.
  • Under the epithelia of the body, forms the lamina propria of mucous membranes, packages organs, surrounds capillaries.
  • Loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers. The universal packing material
32
Q

the connective tissue structure

A

consist of cells, ground substance, and fibers
- together the ground substance and fibers make up the extracellular matrix

33
Q

immature cells

A

fibrolasts

34
Q

adipose tissues

A
  • Matrix as in areolar, but very sparse; closely packed adipocytes, or fat cells, have the nucleus pushed to the side by fat.
  • Provide and reserve food fuel; insulate against the heat loss; supports and protects organs
  • Under the skin in subcutaneous tissue; around kidneys and eyes; in the abdomen and breasts
35
Q

visceral

A

fat that is associated with the organs itself

36
Q

reticular

A
  • Loose network of reticular fibers in a gel-like ground substance; reticular cells lie on the fibers.
  • Form a soft internal skeleton (stoma) that supports other cell types including WBCs, mast cells, and macrophages. Provides support for the organs (especially the more fragile ones)
  • Lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, bone marrow, and elastic fibers
  • always appears to look like a spider web which are created by a framework of reticular proteins.
37
Q

types of dense connective tissue

A

dense regular
dense irregular
elastic

38
Q

dense regular tissue

A
  • Primarily parallel collagen fibers a few elastic fibers; and the major cell type if the fibroblast. In places that have a lot of force on them.
  • Attaches muscle to bone or bones to muscles; withstands great tensile stress when pulling forces are applied in one direction. The straighter the lines, the less relaxed.
  • The collagen fibers run in the same direction parallel to each other so they are less likely to tear.
  • In tendons, most ligaments, and aponeuroses
39
Q

dense irregular tissue

A
  • Primarily irregularly arranges in collagen fibers; some elastic; major cell type is fibroblasts. The fibers have a irregular placement so they are beneficial in areas where forces pull in multiple directions
  • Structural strength. More likely to tear
  • Found in fibrous capsules of organs and joints, debris of the skin, submucosa of digestive tract. In the dermis.
40
Q

elastic tissue

A
  • Dense regular connective tissue containing high proportion of elastic fibers. The elastic fibers are thinner, curvier, and flexible
  • Allows tissue to recoil after they stretch, maintain pulsatile flow of blood through arteries; aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration.
  • In walls of large arteries; within certain ligaments associated with vertebral columns, and bronchial tubes
41
Q

types of connective tissue cartilage

A

hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage

42
Q

hyaline cartilage

A
  • Amorphous but firm matrix; collagen fibers form an imperceptible network; chondroblasts produce and when mature lie in the lacunae.
  • Supports and reinforces, is a cushion, relieves compressive stress. Most embryonic skeleton, covers ends of long bones, tip of the nose
43
Q

elastic cartilage

A
  • Like hyaline, but with more elastic fibers. Maintains shape of structure with flexibility. Supports the external ear (pinna), epiglottis
    • most abundant one, will reduce friction in the bones
    • connects the ribs to the sternum and is on the ends of joints
44
Q

fibrocartilage

A
  • Less than hyaline, thick collagen fibers predominate in intervertebral disks, public symphysis, discs of knee joints.
    • have a lot of dense collagen fibers, and are good at withstanding compression
45
Q

chondroblast

A

immature cells that build cartilage

46
Q

chondrocyte

A

mature cartilage cells

47
Q

Bone (osseous) tissue

A
  • Hard, calcified matrix with many collagen fibers; the osteocytes in lacunae.
  • Supports and protects, provides levers for the muscles
  • have nerves and a solid hard matrix
  • synthesizes blood and fat storage
48
Q

immature bone cells

A

osteoblasts -> they build up

49
Q

mature bone cell

A

osteocytes

50
Q

blood

A
  • Red and white blood cells in a fluid matrix (plasma). Transports respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and others. Contained within blood vessels.
    • blood plasma -> water dissolved with proteins
51
Q

erythrocyte

A

red blood cells
they are shaped like a frisbee/disk and are thinner in the middle

52
Q

leukocyte

A

white blood cells
they work in the immune system

53
Q

platelets

A

not complete cells, just fragments of cells
- they help with the clotting of blood in the body

54
Q

What kind of epithelial tissue is best adapted for the rapid transport of materials across its membrane

A

Simple squamous

55
Q

holocrine

A

glands that accumulate their secretions within their cells; secretions are discharged only upon rupture and death of the cell
- cell dies and is replaced by a new cell

56
Q

merocrine

A

glands that produce secretions intermittently; secretions do not accumulate in the gland
- secretions are released via exocytosis

57
Q

apocrine

A

present in other animals, some controversy on if humans have this
- buds off part of the cell at the apex

58
Q

skeletal muscle

A

attaches to the bone and allows for voluntary movement
- the cells have more than one nucleus in each cell

59
Q

cardiac muscle

A
  • Found in walls of the heart. The contractions of this tissue allow the heart to beat and the blood to move.
  • We do not control this movement, it is involuntary. Typically has one of two nuclei in each cell.
  • Have intercalated discs which is a good indication of muscle cells. These discs are typically a marker for the junction between muscle cells
60
Q

smooth muscle

A
  • You can’t see any visible striations, is involuntary control.
  • Lines the insides of the blood vessels, the digestive system to help it contract. The cells taper off to a point in each scenario.
  • Work on moving substances throughout the body.
61
Q

nervous tissue

A
  • Nervous tissue makes up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Regulates and controls body functions
62
Q

neurons

A
  • Work to generate and conduct nerve impulses. This is how the body communicates
63
Q

neuroglia (glial cells)

A
  • Generally smaller and are very diverse. They help support neurons and help them keep the body running
64
Q

muscle tissue

A
  • Specialized for contraction and movement. Are vascularized and innervated
65
Q

regeneration

A

replacement of damaged tissue with new tissues of the same kind

66

levels of regeneration

A
  • Extremely well – epithelial, bone, areolar connective, dense irregular, blood
  • Moderate – smooth, dense regular
  • Weak – skeletal, cartilage
  • Virtually none – cardiac, nervous
