Tissue Flashcards
binds organs together, supports and protects body, stores energy
Connective
contractions cause movement; generate heat
Muscle
lines hollow organs; covers surfaces; forms glands, Avascular, highly innervated, high rate of mitosis
Epithelial
Avascular
cells nourished by diffusion from capillaries in connective tissue
Internal communication: detects changes in environment; generates response to maintain homeostasis
Nervous
single layer found where diffusion, absorption, secretion occurs
Simple
2 or more layers that have protective function
Stratified
appear to be stratified but only one layer
Pseudostratified
appear to be stratified but , when stretched, is 3 cells.
Transitional
squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Cell shape

CONNECTIVE TISSUE
HISTOLOGY
matrix, cells
material that fills space between cells that contains: Ground Substance, and fibers
matrix
supports cells, provides exchange
medium between blood and cells
Ground substance
The 3 types of Fibers contain
Collagen, Elastin, Reticular
most abundant, high tensile strength to resist stress; wide diameter and rather translucent appearance
Collagen
found in lungs, blood vessels where stretching occurs; narrower diameter than collagen and take up
moderate dark stain.
Elastin
found in lungs, blood vessels where stretching occurs; narrower diameter than collagen and take up
moderate dark stain.
Elastin
very narrow fibers, take up most dark stain; found in spleen and lymph nodes.
Reticular
very narrow fibers, take up most dark stain; found in spleen and lymph nodes.
Reticular
each class has own cell type in immature and mature
form
ex. Osteoblast and osteocyte - bone
cells
cells and fibers suspended in a lot of ground substance. (Areolar and Adipose CT)
Loose Connective
cells and fibers suspended in a lot of ground substance. (Areolar and Adipose CT)
Loose Connective
mostly collagen fibers and few cells with little ground substance(Dense Regular and Irregular)
Dense connective
(If fibers are very parallel = “Regular)”
(If fibers and cells are dispersed = “Irregular”)
