Practicum 2 Flashcards
Types of Connective Tissue
Dense Regular, Dense irregular, Fibrocartilage, Elastic cartilage, Adipose, Reticular
Dense regular
Tendons and ligaments
Dense irregular
Reticular layer of dermis
Fibrocartilage
Found in the sinks of the knee and in the vertebral column
Elastic cartilage
Found tin the ear and epiglottis
Adipose
Loose connective, found in the subcutaneous layer, around organs and in bone marrow
Reticular
Loose connective, found in the lymph nodes, spleen, and liver
Four classifications of tissues :
Epithelial, muscular, nervous, and connective
Areolar loose connective tissue is found where
Under the skin, around blood vessels, nerves and organs, and in mucus membrane
Nervous tissue
Found in central nervous system, brain, spinal column, nerves and receptors
Muscle : cardiac
Found in the heart
Muscular : skeletal
Found attached to the bones of the skeleton
Muscle : smooth
Found in internal organs with a lumen, GI tract, blood vessels, glands, uterus, bladder, diaphragm
Connective tissue : loose : areolar
Found under the epidermis of the skin, mucus membranes, blood vessels and internal organs
Connective : loose : Reticular
Found in spleen, liver, and lymph nodes
Connective : loose : Adipose
Found under the skin, subcutaneous, in yellow marrow, around internal organs
Connective : dense regular
Found in ligaments, in joints and tendons joining muscle to bone
Connective : dense irregular
Found in reticular layer of dermis
Connective : cartilage - Hyaline
Found in nose, cartilage rings of trachea, most embryonic skeleton, attaching ribs to sternum, at ends of long bones, growth plates of most bones, and in joint cavities
Connective : cartilage - Fibrocartilage
Found in discs of the knee and the discs in between the vertebrae
Connective : cartilage - Elastic
Found in the ear and the epiglottis
Epithelial tissue : simple squamous
Found in kidneys, lungs, lining blood vessels and heart chambers, capillaries, lining body cavities
Epithelial tissue : cuboidal
Found covering the ovaries, forming ducts in the kidneys and glands, in the structure of glands
Epithelial tissue : columnar
Found in the gut lining the gastrointestinal tract and uterus
Epithelial tissue : Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
Found in respiratory tract, bronchi, and trachea, and in the paranasal sinuses
Skin official name :
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelial
Functions of the skin :
Protection, metabolic function, body temp, elimination of wastes, immune system, blood reserve, synthesis of vitamin D
Layers of the skin
Stratum corneum, S lucidium, S granulosum, S spinosum, S basale, Dermis
