25
Location and function of exocrine glands
Function: produces substances like sweat, oil, earwax, saliva, and digestive enzymes Location: sweat, oil and earwax glands of skin, digestive glands like salivary and pancreas(secrets into small intestine)
26
Two basic elements of connective tissues
Extra cellular matrix and cells
27
What is the extracellular matrix made up of?
Protein fibers and ground substance
28
Fibroblasts
large flat cells with branching processes, present in all general connective tissues
29
Macrophages
Develop from monocytes, a type of WBC
30
Plasma cells
Found throughout body, mostly in connective tissues, likely in gastro and resp tract
31
Mast cells
Inflammatory response, body's reaction to injury of infection Can also bind to, ingest, and kill bacteria
32
Adipocytes
Fat cells or adipoe cells, connective tissue cells that store triglycerides, found deep to the skin and around organs
33
Leukocytes
WBCs not found in large numbers of connective tissue, certain conditions migrate from blood to connective tissues
34
Mesenchyme embryonic connective tissue
35
Location and function of Mesenchyme embryonic connective tissue
Location: Under the skin and along developing bones of embryo, some in adult connective tissue along blood vessels Function: Forms almost all other types of connective tissue RETICULAR FIBERS SEMIFLUID GROUND SUBSTANCE
36
Mucous(mucoid) embryonic connective tissue
37
Location and function of Mucous(mucoid) embryonic connective tissue
Location: umbilical cord Function: Support, widely scattered fibroblasts in viscous jellylike ground substance with COLLAGEN fibers
38
Areolar connective tissue
39
Location and function of areolar connective tissue
Location: in and around every body structure "packing material of the body" Function: strength, elasticity and support Semifluid ground substance
40
Adipose connective tissue
41
Location and function of adipose connective tissue
Location: anywhere areola tissue is found, around organs, yellow bone marrow, heart and kidneys, deep to skin Function: Reduces heat loss, energy reserve, supports and protects organs, newborns generates heat, STEM CELLS
42
Reticular connective tissue
43
Location and function of reticular connective tissue
Location: Stroma or framework of liver, spleen, LYMPHNODES, red bone marrow, basement membrane, blood vessels and muscles Functions: Forms stroma of organs, binds smooth muscle tissue cells, filters and removes worn out blood cells in spleen, microbes in lymph nodes
44
Dense regular connective tissue
45
Ligaments
Bone to bone
46
Tendons
Muscle to bone
47
Location and function of dense regular connective tissue
Location: Tendons and ligaments, anponeuroses Function: provides strong attachment between structures; withstands pulling or tension along long axis of fibers
48
Aponeuroses
Sheet like tendons that attach muscle to muscle or muscle to bone
49
Dense irregular connective tissue
50
Location and function of dense irregular connective tissue
Location: Forms in sheets such as fasciae, reticular or deeper region of dermis, fibrous pericardium of heart, periosteum of bone, perichondrium of cartilage, joint capsules, membraine capsules around organs, heart valves Function: Provides tensile or pulling strength in many directions
51
Elastic connective tissue
52
Location and function of elastic connective tissue
Location: Lung tissue, walls of elastic arteries, trachea, bronchial tubes, vocal cords, suspensory ligaments of penis, ligaments between vertebrae Function: Allows stretching of various organs, strong and can recoil to original shape after being stretched
53
What cells are found in cartilage?
Chondrocytes
54
Where do chondrocytes occur in single or groups?
Lacunae
55
What is the dense irregular connective tissue called that surrounds most cartilage and is the source of new cartilage cells
Perichondrium
56
Hyaline cartilage
57
Location and function of hyaline cartilage
Location: most abundant in body, at ends of long bones, anterior ends of ribs, nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi, embryonic and fetal skeleton Function: Provides smooth surfaces for movement at joints, flexibility, support, weakest type and can be fractured
58
Fibrocartilage
59
Location and function of fibrocartilage
Location: Public symphysis(Where hips join anteriorly) intervertebral discs, menisci of knee, tendons that insert into cartilage Function: Support and joining structures together, strength and rigidity make it strongest type of cartilage
60
Elastic cartilage
61
Location and function of elastic cartilage
Location: Lid on top of larynx(epiglottis), external ear, auditory tubes Function: Provides strength and elasticity, maintains shape of certain structures
62
Synovial Membrane
No epithelium, line articular cavities, secrete synovial fluid that lubricates joints
63
Functioning part of tissue that leaves near perfect repairs
Parenchyma
64
Functioning part of tissue that uses fibroblasts that leaves scar tissue, what is the process called?
Stroma and fibrosis
65
Two main portions of the skin
Epidermis-superficial thinner portion of epithelial tissue, avascular Dermis-deeper, thicker made up of connective tissue; vascular
66
What is deep to the skin but not apart of it that consists of areolar and adipose tissues, responsible for touch sensors called?
Subcutaneous tissue or hypodermis contains lamellar (pacinian) corpuscles that are senstive to touch
67
What type of cell is the epidermis composed of?
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
68
Four principle types of cells in the epidermis
Keratinocytes, melanocytes, dendritic cells, tactile epithelial (Merkel) cells
69
What is the lipid responsible for waterproofing the skin?
Lamellar granules
70
Four layers of the epidermis deep to superficial
Stratum basale, Stratum spinosum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum lucidum, Stratum corneum(only found in thick skin, forms calluses)
71
What tissue is the dermis made up of?
Dense irregular connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers
