Involuntary

Cardiac

______ is a type of loose connective tissue that separates the cells of the body from the blood stream. It is a "go-between" for nutrients and wastes to leave and enter the blood stream on their way to and from the body's cells.

Epithelial tissues are _________ which means they have no blood flow.

Avascular

Tissues are groups of similar cells working together to...

B) Perform common functions

All epithelial tissues are attached to underlying tissue that holds them in place. What is the membrane called?

Basement membrane

What do you call the bottom layer that's connected to connective tissues?

Basement membranes

Why is it important for the skin to be made up of stratified epithelial tissues instead of simple epithelial?

Because a main function of stratified epithelium is protection, and the skin protects the inner organs of the body.

Contains cells surrounded by a fluid matrix that supports substances.

Blood

_____ transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and wastes through the body by traveling through vessels called arteries and veins.

Blood

Contains cells surrounded by a hard matrix that supports and protects.

Bone

____ is a type of connective tissue with one of the hardest extracellular matrixes that forms a protective structure used for muscle attachment. This type of connective tissue is formed by a cell known as an osteocyte.

Bone

Why does it take tendons and ligaments longer to heal than many bone injuries?

Both tendons and ligaments have poor blood supply.

Uninucleated

Cardiac

_________ is a semi-solid connective tissue that is used as both a protective and supportive structure within the body. This particular type of connective tissue can be found in the nose, ear, ribs, and vertebral disks.

Cartilage

What purpose, if any, do fibers like collagen and elastin provide in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue?

Collagen provides strength and elastin provides flexibility.

Besides cells, what other substances do connective tissues have?

Collagen, elastin, mast cells, and macrophage

Connective Tissue

What are the functions of connective tissue?

Connects body parts together; protection and supporting.
