31
Q

3 kinds of loose connective tissue

A

Areolar, reticular, adipose

32
Q

Has extracellular matrix consisting
mostly of collagen fibers & a few
elastic fibers

A

Areolar Tissue

33
Q

The most common cells is fibroblasts
(responsible for producing the matrix)

A

Loose connective tissue

34
Q

Where are areolar tissues located?

A

Location: glands, muscles & nerves in
the skin

35
Q

What is the function of an Areolar Tissue?

A

Function: support & nourishment

36
Q

Large cells that are closely packed
& a small amount of extracellular matrix

A

Adipose tissue

37
Q

Adipose tissue contains?

A

Fat cells or adipocytes

38
Q

Contains large amounts of lipid for
energy storage mostly of collagen and
reticular fibers & a few elastic fibers

A

Adipose tissue

39
Q

What is the function and location of adipose tissue?

A

Function: thermal insulator, energy
storage & protection
Location: mesenteries, renal pelves,
around kidneys, colon surface, mammary
glands

40
Q

It has a branched and mesh-like pattern,
often called reticulum, due to the
arrangement of reticular fibers (reticulin)

A

Reticular Tissue

41
Q

What is the function and location of reticular tissue?

A

Function & location: forms the
framework of lymphatic tissue, such as
in the spleen, lymph nodes, and as well
as in bone marrow & liver

42
Q

Consists of many closely packed, thick, collagenous fibers & a
fine network of elastic fibers; it has relatively few cells mostly
fibroblasts

A

Dense connective tissue

43
Q

What are the two major categories of dense connective tissue?

A

Elastic and Collagenous

44
Q

The collagen fibers are oriented in
the same direction like in tendons
and ligaments

A

Dense Regular Collagenous Tissue

45
Q

The fibers are oriented in many
different directions as in the
dermis and organ capsules

A

Dense Irregular Collagenous Connective Tissue

46
Q

Matrix of collagen fibers & elastic
fibers are oriented in the same
direction like in the vocal cords

A

Dense Regular Elastic Connective Tissue

47
Q

3 kinds of supporting tissues

A

Cartilage, bone and blood

48
Q

Composed of chondrocytes
(cartilage cells) located in spaces
called lacunae (small spaces)

A

Cartilage

49
Q

3 types of cartilage

A

Hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage

50
Q

Clear or glassy; the most abundant
type of cartilage

A

Hyaline Cartilage

51
Q

Covers the ends of bones where
they come together to form joints

A

Hyaline cartilage

52
Q

Has more collagen than hyaline
cartilage

A

Fibrocartilage

53
Q

Found in the disks between
vertebrae and some joints (knee
and jaw)

A

Fibrocartilage

54
Q

Contains elastic fibers in addition
to collagen & proteoglycans

A

Elastic cartilage

55
Q

Provides rigidity with even more
flexibility; found in the external
ears, epiglottis & auditory tubes

A

Elastic cartilage

56
Q

Able to return to its original shape
after being stretched

A

Elastic Cartilage

57
Q

A specialized form of
connective tissue made up of
blood cells & is surrounded by
a non-living fluid called plasma

A

Blood

58
Q

What is the non-living fluid found in the blood?

A

Plasma

59
Q

What is the function of the blood?

A

It functions to deliver nutrients
& oxygen to the cells &
transports waste away from the
same cells

60
Q

Hard connective tissue that consists
of living cells & mineralized matrix

A

Bone

61
Q

Supports & protects tissues & other organs

A

Bone

62
Q

Two types of bones

A

Compact and Spongy Bone

63
Q

It is a specialized tissue which
functions for contraction

A

Muscle tissue

64
Q

What are muscle cells composed of?

A

Composed of long, cylindrical cells
called muscle fibers or muscle
cells or myocytes

65
Q

3 types of muscle tissue

A

Cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle

66
Q

Striated (alternating series of
bands or stripe), voluntary muscle

A

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

67
Q

Muscle fibers are long cylindrical &
multinucleated

A

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

68
Q

Striated, involuntary muscle

A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

69
Q

Muscle fibers are short branching
fibers; have a single centrally
located nucleus

A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

70
Q

are fused end-to-end by
intercalated disks

A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

71
Q

Non-striated, involuntary muscle

A

Smooth Muscle Tissue

72
Q

Muscle fibers are spindle-shaped
(fusiform); have a single centrally
located nucleus; and are generally
parallel with one another

A

Smooth Muscle Tissue

73
Q

Where can smooth muscles be found?

A

Found in the walls of the hollow
organs like intestines, stomach &
uterus

74
Q

It is the main tissue component of
the nervous system

A

Nerve cells

75
Q

It transmits
impulses & the structural unit of
the nervous system;

A

Neurons

76
Q

Support
cells & provide protection to the neurons

A

Neuroglia
