Q

distinguished by its extracellular matrix.

enclose and separate organs and tissues;

connect tissues to one another;

help support and move body parts;

store compounds;

cushion and insulate the body;

transport substances;

protect against toxins and injury.

commonly contains adipocytes, mast cells, white blood cells, macrophages, and mesenchymal cells (stem cells).

A

connective tissue

21
Q

results from the activity of specialized connective tissue cells; in general, -blast cells form the matrix, -cyte cells maintain it, and -clast cells break it down.

A

extracellular matrix

22
Q

form protein fibers of many connective tissues, osteoblasts form bone, and chondroblasts form cartilage.

A

fibroblast

23
Q

joined to form collagen fibers.

A

collagen fibers

24
Q

joined to form collagen fibers.

resemble ropes.

They are strong and flexible but resist stretching

A

collagen fibers

25
fine collagen fibers that form a branching network that supports other cells and tissues.
reticular fibers
26
have a structure similar to that of a spring. After being stretched, they tend to return to their original shape.
elastic fibers
27
makes fluids slippery.
hyaluronic acid
28
aggregates trap water, which gives tissues the capacity to return to their original shape when compressed or deformed.
proteoglycan
29
hold proteoglycans together and to plasma membranes.
adhesive molecules
30
the "packing material" of the body; it fills the spaces between organs and holds them in place.
areolar connective tissue
31
-stores energy. -also pads and protects parts of the body and acts as a thermal insulator.
adipose tissue
32
has a matrix consisting of either densely packed collagen fibers (in tendons, ligaments, and the dermis of the skin) or densely packed elastic fibers (in elastic ligaments and the walls of arteries).
dense connective tissue
33
forms a framework for lymphatic structures.
reticular tissue
34
provides support and is found in structures such as the disks between the vertebrae, the external ear, and the costal cartilages.
cartilage
35
has a mineralized matrix and forms most of the skeleton of the body.
bone
36
has a liquid matrix and is found in blood vessels.
blood
37
specialized to shorten, or contract.
muscle tissue
38
specialized to conduct action potentials (electrical signals).
nervous tissue
39
conduct action potentials, and glia support the neurons.
neurons
40
line cavities that open to the outside of the body (digestive, respiratory, and reproductive tracts). They contain glands and secrete mucus
Mucous membranes
41
line trunk cavities that do not open to the outside of the body (pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities). They do not contain mucous glands but do secrete serous fluid.
serous membrane
42
line joint cavities and secrete a lubricating fluid.
synovial membrane
43
-isolates and destroys harmful agents -produces redness, heat, swelling, pain, and disturbance of function.
inflammation
44
results when the agent causing injury is not removed or something else interferes with the healing process.
chronic inflammation
45
-the substitution of viable cells for dead cells by regeneration or fibrosis. -involves clot formation, inflammation, the formation of granulation tissue, and the regeneration or fibrosis of tissues. In severe wounds, wound contracture can occur.
tissue repair
46
stem cells, which can divide throughout life, and other dividing cells regenerate new cells of the same type as those that were destroyed.
regeneration
47
the destroyed cells are replaced by different cell types, which causes scar formation.
fibrosis
