Q

What are the 4 functions of connective tissues?

A
  1. Binding/support
  2. Protection
  3. Insulation
  4. Transportation
17
Q

Characteristics of connective tissue

A

Form from mesenchyme and mostly made up of a nonliving “extracellular matrix”

18
Q

Mesenchyme

A

An embryonic tissue

19
Q

Ground substance

A

Substance surrounding connective tissue cells which contains the fibers

20
Q

Connective tissue fibers

A

Provide support to the tissues

21
Q

3 types of connective tissue fibers

A

Collagen
Elastic
Reticular

22
Q

Loose Connective Tissue function and 3 types

A

Few fibers, supports and stores

Areolar
Adipose (fat)
Reticular

23
Q

3 types of Dense Connective tissues

A

Dense Regular
Dense Irregular
Elastic

Mainly fibers (tendons, ligaments, surrounds organs, dermis of skin)

24
Q

Example of Dense Regular connective tissue

A

Tendons and Ligaments

25
Q

Example of Dense Irregular connective tissue

A

Surrounds organs and dermis of skin

26
Q

Cartilage

A

Connective tissue strong in tension and compression, aging cells can’t divide and heals slowly

27
Q

Bone

A

Connective tissue with rocklike hardness, support + Protection, fat storage, blood cell formation

28
Q

Blood

A

Connective tissue that transports oxygen and nutrients through the body and whose “fibers” are proteins for clotting blood

29
Q

Function and locations of nervous tissues

A

Regulate and control body function (found in the brain, spine, and nerves)

30
Q

Neurons

A

Nervous tissue cell that conducts and generates electricity

31
Q

Supporting Cell

A

Supports, insulates, and protects neurons

32
Q

Muscle Tissue

A

Well-Vascularized tissue used for movement

33
Q

3 types of muscle tissue and their locations

A

Skeletal: Attaches to skeleton (Voluntary movement)
Cardiac: Makes up heart (involuntary movement)
Smooth: Walls of hollow organs (involuntary movement)

34
Q

What are the 3 steps of tissue repair

A

1, Inflammation
2. Organization
3. Regeneration and Fibrosis

35
Q

Give an example of a tissue that repair well and readily and one that does not

A

Repairs well: Epithelial, bone, areolar connective, dense irregular connective

Repairs poorly: Skeletal Muscle and cartilage
