Cartilage and Bone tissue (both supporting connective tissues)

37
Q

Components of connective tissue:

A

Cells (varies according to tissue)

Matrix (which is made up of Protein fibers and Ground substance )

38
Q

Common embryonic origin

A

mesenchyme

38
Q

connective tissue proper

A

Variety of cells, fibers & grounds substances

Types of cells depend on use

39
Q

Cells found in connective tissue proper

A 
Fibroblasts (build collagen)
Macrophages, lymphocytes (antibody producing cells)
Adipocytes (fat cells)
Mast cells (swollen response)
Stem cells (turn into anything)
40
Q

Fibers found in connective tissue proper

A

collagen
elastic
reticular

41
Q

collagen

A

Collagen – very strong & abundant, long & straight

thicker pink

43
Q

elastic

A

Elastic – branching fibers with a wavy appearance (when relaxed)
thin, purple or black (dark colored)

43
Q

reticular

A

Reticular – form a network of fibers that form a supportive framwork in soft organs (i.e. Spleen & liver) mesh, spider web with reticular, and collagen

44
Q

matrix

A

each connective tissue has its own unique matrix, made of fibers and ground substances

46
Q

ground substance

A

Along with fibers, fills the extracellular space

Ground substance helps determine functionality of tissue

48
Q

Connective Tissue Proper - Classifications

A

loose and dense connective tissue

48
Q

loose connective tissue

A

Areolar
Reticular
Adipose
(more cells less fibers, loosely packer)

48
Q

dense connective tissue

A

Regular
Irregular
Elastic
(more fibers, less cells)

49
Q

slippery membranes
Simple squamous epithelium lying on areolar connective tissue
Line closed cavities
Pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial cavities

53
Q

Synovial membranes

A 
lining joint cavities

A

Mostly walls of hollow organs

64
Q

A

Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors

65
Q

Nervous Tissue location

A

Brain, spinal cord, and nerves

66
Q

Nervous Tissue description

A

Main components are brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Contains two types of cells
Neurons – excitatory cells
Supporting cells (neuroglial cells)

67
Q

steps in tissue repair

A

inflammation
organization
regeneration and fibrosis

68
Q

inflammation

A

Release of inflammatory chemicals
Dilation of blood vessels
Increase in vessel permeability (white blood cells and clotting proteins leak to area)
Clotting occurs (scab)

69
Q

Organization and restored blood supply

A

begins while inflammation starts
The blood clot is replaced with granulation tissue
Epithelium begins to regenerate
Fibroblasts produce collagen fibers to bridge the gap
Debris is phagocytized

70
Q

Regeneration and fibrosis

A

The scab detaches
Fibrous tissue matures; epithelium thickens and begins to resemble adjacent tissue
Results in a fully regenerated epithelium with underlying scar tissue

71
Q

inflammatory response

A

nonspecific reaction develops quickly where tissue is injured

72
Q

immune response

A

extremely specific but takes longer to act

73
Q
