1
Q

what is thixotropy?

A

manipulation of tissues increase tissue fluidity and flexibility

2
Q

surrounds soft organs like the spleen, support cells.

branching mesh-like fiber network like cheese cloth.

A

reticular fibers

3
Q

found in skin and blood arteries.

fibers can both stretch and recoil like rubber bands.

found in: arteries, lungs skins

A

elastic substance

4
Q

gel like substance surrounding cells.

allows WBC’s to spread into spaces surround cells.

provide shape to tissues (eyeballs)

secrete by fibroblasts

A

ground substance

5
Q

found in all connective tissues , cartilage, tendons, ligaments,veins and scar tissue.

fibers are strong and flexible like rope.

(25% of total body protein)
excessive (blank) tissue may reduce range of motion.

A

collagen fibers

6
Q

contain the most collagen fibers

A

dense connective tissue

7
Q

adipose tissue
subcutaneous layer of skin

areolar tissue
contains all three fibers types

A

loose connective tissue

8
Q

lymph fluid: similar to blood plasma but fewer proteins

blood: plasma

A

liquid connective tissue

9
Q

found at ends of bones, ears, and between vertebrae.

hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic.

A

cartilage

10
Q

parallel bundles

tendons, ligaments

A

dense regular

11
Q

sheets or bands of fibers

deep fascia for investing Fascia

A

dense irregular

12
Q

ears and Eustachian tubes.

epiglottis in throat

A

elastic cartilage

13
Q

between vertebral discs

least flexible.
made densely packed fibers arranged in bundles

A

fibrocartilage

14
Q

end of bones and of ribs and long bones

embryo skeleton

must abundant

surface of joints

rigid and flexible

A

hyaline cartilage

15
Q

line joint cavities

line cavities that do NOT open to the outside

secrete lubricating fluids

A

synovial membranes

16
Q

Line cavities that do NOT open to the outside

secrete lubricating fluids

contain a visceral (inside) and parietal (outside layers) with fluid in the space between. bag around organs as heart and lungs.

A

serous membranes

17
Q

secrete lubricating fluids

found in digestive and respiratory tract

like cavities that do open to the outside.

A

mucus membranes

18
Q

types of tissues have continual ability for regeneration.

A

epithelial tissues

bone tissues

19
Q

which tissues have poor ability to regenerate

A

muscle tissue

cartilage tissue

20
Q

which types of tissues have no blood supply

A

cartilage tissues

epithelial tissues (diffusion- replaces itself daily

21
Q

proper term for when tissue can’t repair itself and scar tissue is formed.

secrete fibers and ground substance.

A

fibrosis or fibroblasts

22
Q

tissues bond together (rom) due to increased collagen fibers secretion caused by immobility, chronic pressure, inflammation, injury steroids (cortison)

A

adhesion

23
Q

4 changed that occur to connective tissues that result from aging

A

healing ability- reduced cellular blood supply, metabolic and synthesis rate. risk for chronic illiness: heart disease hypertension, stroke, diabetes, cancer.

flexibility collagen fibers in number, thickness and calcify(maintain with stretching)

muscle tissue mass (maintained with regular exercise)

adipose tissue (reduced with regular exercise)

atherosclerosis: fatty deposits on arterial walls reducing blood supply.

24
Q

between skin and muscle

subcutaneous tissue

contains adipose, lymph, nerves; bursae in joints(fluid filled cavities found in joints, Elbow, knee shoulder)

A

superficial fascia

25
Q

covers, separate muscles groups.

separates fat from muscle

purpose:connect to periosteum, holds tendons in place; prevent blood pooling in muscles

A

deep fascia

26
Q

sudoriferous and sebaceous glands are type of

salivary gland.

A

exocrine
