types of connective tissue

location: adipose tissue: can be found under the skin and around certain _?_

organs

bone tissue is organized into units called _?_

osteons

the flood has a fluid matrix called?

plasma

blood: _?_ cell fragments that aid in clotting when the endothelial lining has a tear in it

platelets

bone is being continuously broken down and rebulit- responds to use by frowing thicker and stronger... inactively leads to frail brittle bone

lymph: plasma leaves the capillaries and becomes known as intersitial fluid, which bath tissue cells. ISF is distinguished from plasma becasue it lacks larger proteins. Most of the ISF returns to the capillaries. a small amount enters the lymph duct as lymph, which later drains back into the blood. the function of the lymph system is to help maintain homeostasis and alert the immune system to any ifections

this type of loose connective tissue is made primarily of reticular fibers. this is?

reticular connective tissue

we will see many dark cells with dark _?_ fibers scattered throughout

reticular fibers

what is the function of dense regular connective tissue?

secure bone during movement

areolar connective tissue: function: the arolar tissue forms a layer that _?_ the skin from the underlying structures. this serves to absorb multidirectional shock and permits without damage

seperates

location: reticular connective tissue: the s_____, L____, L____N____, and B____M_____

spleen liver lymph nodes bone marrow

this tissue contains mainly adipocytes which have only a small area of cytoplasm and a large fat droplet?

adipose tissue

drct: _?_ a flat sheet like structure that attches muscle to bon or bone to bone

aponerousis

this is the most widley distributed of all the connective tissues?

areolar

name the three types of loose connective tissue

areoular adipose reticular

vascular connective tissue: what are the two vascular connective tissues?

blood and lymph

adipose tissue: _?_ fat is found in infants and is different than white fat like adults have. brown fat has numerous mitochondria. the adipocytes can be stimulated by the nervous system to break down their lipis contents which leads to an increase in _?_?_

brown body temp

the location of dense irregular connective tissue is they are found in _?_ and also forms a layer around cartilage (_?_) and around bone (_?_)

joints perichondrium periosteum

_?_ (open space) in the matirx houses osteocytes - bone cells

lacunae

chondorcytes are found in the matrix spaces called ?

lacunae

the dense irregular connective tissue is also the dermis of the skin and example of this is ?

leather

blood: _?_ includes phagocytic macrohphages that protect the body from infection?

leukocytes

drct: _?_ attaches bone to bone

ligaments

_?_?_?_ packing material; cushion and stabalize; fill spaces between organs; surround and support other tissues

loose connective tissue

what is the location of elastic tissue?

lungs and arteries

adipose tissue has very little _?_ the cells are packed closely together and looks like chicken wire

matrix

areolar connective tissue: location: it is located between epithelial tissue and _?_ tissue. it acts similar to glue.. it holds the two structures together

muscle

can diffusion occur between this matrix?

no

_?_ cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes that radiate in toward the havarsian canal

canaliculi

this is an avascular and aneural part of connective tissue? (except for the outer layer called the perichondrium)

cartilage

what is the only cell present in cartilage?

chondrocytes

_?_?_?_ are dense protein fibers

dense conective tissues

collagen fibers are not in an arranged pattern. the fibers are scattered in various directions.. this is an example of what type of dense tissue?

dense irregular

the scattered unordered fashion that the fibers are arranged in actually adds to their strength when they are being pulled in difference directions this function is the function of what type of dense connective tissue?

dense irregular connective tissue

this dense tissue is not nice, neat or orderly?

dense irregular connective tissue

what are the 3 types of dense connective tissue?

dense regular connective dense irregular connective elastic tissue

this dense tissue has very few cells such as fibroblasts that produce many collagen fibers?

dense regular connective tissue

this dense tissue is composed of bundles of collagen wich are arranged in orderly parallel rows (looks wavy)

dense regular connective tissue

this has a great deal of flexability

elastic cartilage

this has elastic fibers; chondrocytes are scattered throughout

elastic cartilage

this is located in the auricle of the ear, epiglotis,and the larynx

elastic cartilage

a dense regular connective tissue that is dominatd by elastic fibers is ?

elastic tissue

this looks like lasanga when viewed from a slide?

elastic tissue

function: adipose tissue: serves as padding, shock absorber and filling, as well as an insulator and _?_

energy presserve

blood: _?_ this transports oxygen and carbon dioxide

erythorcytes

what are the suspended elements found in plasma?

erythrocytes leukocytes platelets

areolar connective tissue: has very few cells the two that they have (name them) are not organized in any particular way

fibroblasts and macrophages

this absorbs shock and prevents bone contact?

fibrocartilage

this is the cartilage with fewer chondrocytes

fibrocartilage

this type of cartilage has an interweave of collagen fibers for durability?

fibrocartilage

this type of cartilage is located in the b/t pubic bones (pubic synthesis) and at intervertebral discs

fibrocartilage

what is the strongest type of cartilage ?

firbrocartilage

function of reticular connective tissue: provides a _?_ to support cells within

framework

havarsian canal

what are the 3 types of cartilage?

hyalin elastic fibrocartilage

what is the most common type of cartilage?

hyaline

dense packed collagen resists staining so they can not be seen /
