compact and cancellous (spongy) tissue

A

Bone tissue

28
Q

Hyaline, fibrocartilage and elastic tissue

A

29
Q

What are 3 types of Fibrous connective tissue

A

1: Loose fibrous connective tissue
2: Adipose (fat tissue)
3: Reticular tissue

30
Q

Fibrous glue (fascia) that holds organs together and facilitates communication among organs, collagenous and elastic fibers

A

Loose fibrous connective tissue (Areolar)

31
Q

white fat stores lipids (triglycerides), brown fat produces heat, both types regulate metabolism
Adipocyte is cell type

A

Adipose (fat) tissue

32
Q

Delicate net of supportive collagen fibers, as in bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes

Dense fibrous tissue

34
Q

Parallel collagen bundles, eg is Tendon

A

Regular dense fibrous tissue

35
Q

Chaotic, swirling collagen bundles, eg: deep layer of skin

A

Irregular dense fibrous tissue

36
Q

Matrix is collagen bundles is encrusted with calcium mineral crystals

A

Bone tissue

37
Q

3 Types of bone tissue

A

1: Compact bone
2: cancellous bone
3:Bone marrow

38
Q

Made of cylindrical osteons, forms outer wall of bones

A

Compact bone

39
Q

Made up of thin crisscrossing beams of matrix, also called spongy bone

A

Cancellous bone

40

Matrix is very dense with collagen, forms very tough hard gel

A

Fibrocartilage

43
Q

Matrix has some collagen with elastin, forms a soft elastic gel

A

attaches to bones, also called striated voluntary, control is voluntary, striations apparent when viewed under a microscope

A

skeletal muscle tissue

48
Q

Also called striated involuntary, composes heart wall, ordinarily cannot voluntarily control contractions

A

Cardiac muscle tissue

49
Q

Also called non striated (visceral) or involuntary, no cross striation, found in blood vessels and other tube shaped organs

A

smooth muscle tissue

50
Q

Rapid communication between body structures and control of body functions
