tissues part 3 Flashcards
a common protein, forming bundles of tough, flexible fibers
collagen
stretchy, fibrous protein, forms thick, single fiber in connective tissue matrices
elastin
also called as white fibers
protein
also known as yellow fibers
elastin
the one responsible for the production of matrix
fibroblast
consist mostly of collagen and a few elastic fibers
areolar
attaches the skin to underlying tissue; loose packing material that fills spaces between glands, muscle, and nerves
areolar
matrix composed of collagen fibers running in somewhat the same direction in tendons and ligaments
dense collagenous
ability to withstand great pulling forces excreted in the direction of fiber orientation, great tensile strength, and stretch resistance
dense collagenous
matrix composed of collagen fibers and elastin fibers running in somewhat the same directions in elastic ligaments
dense elastic
capable of stretching and recoiling like a rubber band with strength in direction of fiber orientation
elastic
run in several directions in the ______ connective tissue of blood vessel walls
elastic
little ecm surrounding cells
adipose
also known as fat cells that are full of lipid that the cytoplasm is pushed to periphery of the cell
adipose
packing material, thermal insulator, energy storage, and protection of organs against injury from being bumped or jarred
adipose
