are often called ductless glands

with secretory regions shaped as tubules (small tubes)

tubular glands

18
Q

has those shaped in saclike structures

A

Acinar or Alveolar

19
Q

Connects body parts

A

connective tissue

20
Q

It is found everywhere in the body

A

connective tissue

21
Q

It is the most abundant and widely distributed of the tissue types.

A

connective tissue

22
Q

have a poor blood supply

A

tendons and ligaments

23
Q

avascular

24
Q

are well
vascularized (that is, they have a good blood supply), but there are exceptions

A

connective tissues

25
Connective tissues are made up of many different types of cells plus varying amounts of a nonliving substance found outside the cells.
extracellular matrix
26
Three types of protein fibers:
collagen, reticular, elastic
27
help form connective tissue
protein fibers
28
are very strong and flexible, like microscopic ropes, but are not very elastic
collagen fibers
29
are very fine collagen fibers and therefore not a chemically distinct category of fibers
reticular fibers
30
very short, thin fibers that branch to form a network
reticular fibers
31
consist of the protein elastin
elastic fibers
32
this protein has the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed, giving tissue an elastic quality
elastic fibers
33
composed largely of water plus some cell adhesion proteins and large, charged polysaccharide molecules
ground substance
