2. Elastic
3. Reticular

Question 4

Extra cellular fibres and functions:

Collagen fibres:
S-, long, straight, run down same axis (- directional) found in dense c- tissue (in t- and ligaments

Answer 4

Strong, uni directional, connective , tendons

Question 5

Extra cellular fibres and functions:

Elastic fibres:
Elastic bands s- and r- , found in d- regular elastic tissue ( aorta in the heart contracts and pumps)

Answer 5

Stretch and recoil

dense

Question 6

Reticular fibres:
Thin in? supports found in reticular tissue
l? nodes

Answer 6

Interwoven ,lymph

Question 7

What are the 6 key cells?

1. F- (large , mobile, produce fibres, secrete matrix fibres and ground substance components)
2. M- (large, mobile, immune cells that engulf and destroy pathogens)
3. P- cells ( immune cells, produce and secrete antibodies)
4. M- cells (release histamine/ promote inflammation)
5. A- (fat cells, storage of lipids)
6. L- (white blood cells/ immune cells)

Answer 7

1. Fibroblasts
2. Macrophages
3. Plasma cells
4. Mast cells
5. Adipose
6. Leukocytes

Question 8

Connective tissue can be classified into 2 categories:

1. Connective tissue p-
2. S- connective tissue

Answer 8

1. Proper

2. Specialised

Question 9

Specialised connective tissue is ;

C-
Bl-
Bo-

Answer 9

Cartilage
Blood
Bone

Question 10

Specialised connective tissue:

Cartilage is avascular and can be divided into 3 subgroups
H- (smooth, glassy appearance, tightly packed collagen fibres, found in the - tip)
E- ( flexible, collagen and elastic fibres ,light weight support found in the outer -)
F- (dense and tough, strongest collagen fibres, separates -)

Answer 10

Hyaline : nose tip
Elastic: outer ear
Fibrocartilage: separates vertebrae

Question 11

Connective tissue proper:

What are the 4 categories of connective tissue?

1. Lo? connective tissue
2. D- connective tissue
3. Re? tissue
4. Ad? tissue

Answer 11

1. Loose
2. Dense
3. Reticular
4. Adipose

Question 12

Connective tissue proper:

1. Loose connective tissue : sub c- layer, permits s-

Answer 12

Cutaneous, stretch

Question 13

Connective tissue proper:

2. Dense connective tissue

There are 3 sub categories of dense connective tissue

1. Dense regular c- (uni directional , very strong)
2. Dense regular e- (permits stretch of organ)
3. Dense i- (multidirectional, resistant to tension stress)

Answer 13

1. Collagen
2. Elastic
3. Irregular

Question 14

Connective tissue proper:

3. Reticular tissue:
   Reticular fibres s? other structures by providing a network for ly? vessels

Answer 14

Support

Lymphatic

Question 15

Connective tissue proper:

4. Adipose tissue:

L- , energy storage , insulation, protection , shock absorber

Answer 15

Lipids
