what are the 3 types of cartilage?
perichondria
where are the blood vessels that supply blood to cartilage cells?
-it is a specialized form of loose connective tissue. -it occurs around the kidneys, behind the eyeballs, and around various joints. -it serves as a conserver of body heat. -it serves as a storehouse of energy for the body.
which of the following statements is true about adipose tissue?
-Dense connective tissue has many collagen fibers. -areolar connective tissue contains both elastic and collagenous fibers
which of the following statements is true of connective tissue?
hyaline
which of these is the most common cartilage?
cardiac
which type of muscle is involuntary and striated in appearance
shape, layers
Epithelial cells are classified according to____and number of_____.
tissues
In complex organisms, cells of similar structure and function are organized into groups known as what?
Epithelial,connective, muscle, nervous
List the four major tissue types found in the human body.
hyaline cartilage
Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and nose
Macrophages (histiocytes)
Originate as white blood cells and are almost as numerous as fibroblasts in some connective tissues
Cartilage
Rigid connective tissue
Simple
Single layer
Pseudostratified
Single layer but often looks like a double layer
Fibroblasts
Star-shaped cells that produce fibers by secreting proteins into the extracellular matrix, found in connective tissue.
A sprain takes more time to heal because
The blood supply to dense regular connective tissue is poor, slowing tissue repair
modifications of the walls of capillaries in the brain
The blood-brain barrier shields brain cells from toxins by
cover body surfaces
The function of the epithelial tissue is to
inter

tensile strength
an important characteristic of collagenous fibers is their
cyt
cell
extracellular matrix
composed of protein fibers and a ground substance consisting of nonfibrous protein and other molecules, and fluid; binds supports protects
pseud
false
adip
fat
less,stretched
elastic fibers have (more/less) strength than collagenous fibers, but are easily______.
Squamous
flat cells
lining of digestive tract
simple columnar epithelium
lining of the ducts of salivary glands
simple cuboidal epithelium
air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries
simple squamous epithelium
Ligaments
Connect bone to bone
Tendons
Connect muscle to bone
Fibrocartilage
Very tough, due to many collagenous fibers Shock absorber Intervertebral discs Pads of knee and pelvic girdle
intercellular junctions
What is the tern for the structures that connect the cell membranes?
gap junction
Which of the following allows ions and small nutrients to move between cells?
tight junction
Which of the following is a junction that is found in the lining of blood vessels and the digestive tract?
epithelial tissue has no blood vessels epithelial cells are nourished by substances diffusing from connective tissue
Which of the following statements about epithelial tissue is true
goblet cells
a column-shaped cell found in the respiratory and intestinal tracts, which secretes the main component of mucus
macrophages
a connective tissue cell that can become detached and move about is the
Columnar
taller than wide
os

Mast cells
large and widely distributed in connective tissues and release heparin and histamine
strat
layer
heparin, histamine
mast cells secrete______and______.
elastic cartilage
more flexible and elastic, external ear and larynx

Major types of epithelial membranes
serous, mucous, cutaneous
True
sprains heal slowly because dense regular connective tissue has a relatively poor blood supply.

epidermis of skin
stratified squamous epithelium
striations
stripes
