Type of connective tissues Flashcards
A fine network of fibers (mostly collagen fibers with a few elastic fibers) with space between the fibers, fibroblasts, macrophages, and lymphocytes are located in the species
Areolar Connective tissues
Loos packing, support, and nourishment for the structures with which it is associated
Areolar Connective tissues
Widely distributed throughout the body
Areolar Connective tissues
Substances on which epithelial basement membranes rest
Areolar Connective tissues
Packing between glands, muscles, and nerves
Areolar Connective tissues
attaches the skin to underlying tissues
Areolar Connective tissues
Little extracellular matrix surrounding cells;
Adipose tissues
also known as fat cells
adipocytes
full of lipid that the cytoplasm is pushed to the periphery of the cell
Adipose tissue
Packing material, thermal insulator, energy storage, and protection of organs against injury from being bumped or jarred.
Adipose tissue
Predominantly in subcutaneous areas, mesenteries, renal pelves, around kidneys, attached to the surface of the colon, mammary glands, and in loose connective tissues that penetrate into spaced and crevices.
Adipose tissue
Fine network of reticular fibers irregularly arranged
Reticular tissues
Provides a superstructure for lymphatic and hemopoietic tissues
reticular tissues
Within the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow
Reticular tissues
has a relatively large
number of protein fibers that form thick bundles and
fill nearly all of the extracellular space.
Dense connective tissues
There are two major subcategories of dense
connective tissue:
collagenous and elastic.
Matrix composed of collagen fibers running in somewhat the same direction in tendons and ligaments; collagen fibers run in several directions in the dermis of the skin and in organ capsules
Dense Regular Collagenous Connective tissues
Withstand great pulling forces exerted in the direction of fiber orientation due to great tensile strength and stretch resistance
Dense Regular Collagenous Connective tissues
Tendons and ligaments connective tissues
Dense Regular Collagenous Connective tissues
also found in dermis of the skin, organ capsules, and the outer layer of many blood vessels
Dense Regular Collagenous Connective tissues
Matrix composed of collagen fibers and elastin fibers running in somewhat the same direction in elastic ligaments; elastic fibers run in connective tissue of blood vessel walls
Dense regular elastic connective tissues
Capable of stretching and recoiling like a rubber bond with strength in the direction of fiber orientation
Dense regular elastic connective tissues
Elastic ligaments between the vertebrae and along the dorsal aspect of the neck and in the vocal chords
Dense regular elastic connective tissues
found in elastic connective tissues of blood vessel walls
Dense regular elastic connective tissues
