110
Q

This is a type of connective tissue that is typically delineated as a gel-like matrix with all three fiber types; cells: fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and some white blood cells. Furthermore, it is integral in wrapping and cushioning organs. Its macrophages phagocytize bacteria are salient in inflammation as well as holding and conveying tissue fluid.

A

Connective tissue Proper Loose Areolar

111
Q

This type of connective tissue is explicated as a matrix, but very sparse and closely packed adipocytes or fa1 cells. Moreover, it has a nucleus pushed to the side by large fat droplet. Apart from that, it is salient in generating food fuel and insulating to impede heat loss.

A

Connective tissue Proper Loose Adipose

112
Q

This type of connective tissue is described as a loose network of reticular fibers in a gel-like ground substance, wherein reticular cells lie on the fibers. Moreover, in this, fibers form a soft internal skeleton (stroma) that supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages.

A

Connective tissue Proper Loose Reticular

113
Q

This type of connective tissue is explicated as parallel collagen fibers constituted with a few elastic fibers, wherein its major cell type is fibroblast. It has the capacity to attach muscle to bones (vice-versa) as well as withstand great tensile strength and pulling force.

A

Connective tissue Proper Dense Regular

114
Q

This type of connective tissue is irregularly arranged collage fibers, wherein fibroblast is a major cell type. Moreover, it has the capacity to withstand tension exerted and provides structural strength.

A

Connective tissue Proper Dense Irregular

114
Q

This type of connective tissue is dense and regular. It contains high proportion of elastic fibers. Moreover, it is integral because (1) it allows tissue to recoil after stretching, (2) maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries , and (3) aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration.

A

Connective tissue Proper Dense Elastic

115
Q

This is a type of connective tissue that is delineated to be amorphous but firm matrix constituted with collagen fibers that form an imperceptible network and chondroblasts that produce the matrix and when mature (as chondrocytes) lie in lacunae. Moreover, it serves as a resilient cushion and resists compressive stress.

A

Connective tissue Cartilage Hyaline

116
Q

This type of connective tissue that is similar to the hyaline cartilage, but is perceived to have more elastic fibers in its matrix. Moreover, it has the faculty to maintain the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility.

A

Connective tissue Cartilage Elastic

117
Q

This type of connective tissue that is similar to but less firm than the hyaline cartilage. It is comprised of thick collagen fibers. Apart from that, its tensile strength allows it to absorb compressive shock.

A

Connective tissue Cartilage Fibrocartilage

118
Q

This type of connective tissue is a calcified matrix containing many collagen fibers along with osteocytes lie in lacunae. It is optimally vascularized. Moreover, it is integral in providing levers for the muscles to act on and acting as a storage for calcium.

A

Connective tissue Bone

119
Q

This type of connective tissue is comprised of red and white blood cells in a fluid matrix. It is essential in transporting respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances.

A

Connective tissue Blood

120
Q

This well-vascularized tissues that are responsible for most type of body movement. Moreover, it posses myofilaments with networks of actin and myosin that bring about movement or contraction.

A

Muscle Tissue

121
Q

This is a muscle tissue that is long, cylindrical, and multinucleate. Moreover, it is integral for voluntary movement, locomotion, manipulation of the environment, and facial expression.

A

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

122
Q

This is a muscle tissue that pertains to branching and striated along with uninucleate cells that connect at specialized junctions (intercalated discs). Moreover, it contracts and propels blood into the circulation.

A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

123
Q

This is a muscle tissue that are spindle-shaped with a central nuclei and has no striations. Moreover, it propels substances or objects along internal passageways.

A

Smooth Muscle Tissue

124
Q

This tissue specializes in generating action potentials for rapid communication

A

Nerve Tissue

125
Q

These are high specialized nerve cells that generate and conduct nerve impulses which enables them to 1) respond to stimuli and 2) transmit electrical impulses.

A

Neurons

126
Q

These are non-conducting cells that support, insulate and protect delicate neurons.

A

Supporting Cells (Glial or Neuroglia)

127
Q

These are continuous multicellular sheets composed of at least 2 primary tissue types (epithelium + connective tissue).

A

Membranes

128
Q

What are the three (3) types of membranes?

A

(1) Mucus Membranes : Open to the exterior
(2) Cutaneous Membranes: Covering
(3) Serious Membranes: Close to the exterior

129
Q

What are the steps of tissue repair?

A

(1) Inflammation sets the stage
(2) Organization restores the blood supply
(3) Regeneration along with the fibrosis effect for permanent repair
