Lesson 3 Flashcards
adipose tissue
fatty or fatlike
bactericidal
causing the death of bacteria
calcify
to deposit mineral salts
cardiac muscle
muscle of the heart
cartilage
white, semiopaque, nonvascular connective tissue
collagen
fibrous protein occurring in bone and cartilage
elastin
elastic fibers found in connective tissue
fascia
band or sheet of fibrous membranes covering or binding and supporting muscles
gastric mucosa
mucosa that lines the stomach
graft
to transplant tissue into a body part to replace damaged tissue
hyaline
type of cartilage that forms the skeleton of the embryo
intestinal mucosa
lines the small and large intestines
ligament
a band of fibrous tissue connecting bones or supporting organs
membrane
a thin layer of tissue that covers a surface or divides an organ
mucosa
mucous membrane
osseous (bone) tissue
bony; composed of or resembling bone
parietal membrane
lining of a body cavity
pericardial membrane
lining of the heart cavity
respiratory mucosa
lining of the respiratory passages
scab
dried capillary fluid that seals a wound
secondary repair
repair of a wound with small or large tissue loss
serosa
name given to a double walled serous membrane
serous fluid
normal lymph fluid; thin watery bodily fluid
serous membrane
double walled membrane that produces serous fluid
visceral membrane
the membrane covering each organ in a body cavity
aponeurosis
flattened sheet of white, fibrous, connective tissue; holds one muscle to another or to the periosteum
areolar tissue
a type of connective tissue that surrounds various organs and supports both nerve and blood vessels
connective tissue
cells whose intercellular secretions (matrix) support and connect the organ and tissues of the body
epithelial tissue
protects the body by covering external and internal surfaces
granulation
tiny red granules that are visible in the base of a healing wound; granules consist of newly formed capillaries and fibroblasts
mucous membrane
type of tissue that lines surfaces and spaces that lead to the outside of the body
muscle tissue
contains cell material that has the ability to contract and move the body
nervous tissue
composed of two types of cells, neuroglia and neurons, that react to stimuli and conduct an impulse
peritoneal membrane
serous membrane lining of abdominal cavity; also referred to as peritoneum
pleural membrane
serous membrane protecting the lungs and lining the internal surface of the thoracic cavity; also called pleura
primary repair
repair of epithelial tissue when no infection is present; new epithelial cells push themselves up toward the skin surface to repair the damage
skeletal muscle
muscle attached to a bone or bones of the skeleton that aids in body movements; also known as voluntary or striated muscle
suture
a line of connection or closure between bones, as in a cranial suture; in surgery; a fine threadlike catgut or silk used to repair or close a wound
synovial membrane
double layer of connective tissue that lines joint cavities and produces synovial fluid
tendon
cord of fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone or other structure
ligaments
a band of fibrous tissue connecting bones or supporting organs
tendons
cord of fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone or other structure
