47
how are epithelia cells classified?*
simple: diffusion gases, filtration blood secretion and absorption stratified- protection against abrasion pseudostratified- appears stratified, cells contact basement membrane so simple squamous- diffusion or as filters cuboidal and columnar- secretion and absorption goblet cells- produce and secrete mucus

49
what are the functions of ct proper? fluid ct and supporting ct?
ct proper:many types cells extra cellular fibres. adipose ligaments and tendons examples. Fluid CT: two kinds LYMPH and blood. supporting CT: less populated than ct proper matrix contains closely packed fibers. two kinds supporting ct bone and cartilage
50
explain what the matrix is ?
- connective tissues never exposed to environment outside of body. - all cells have 1) specialized cells 2) extracellular protein fibers and 3)a fluid known as the ground substance - extracellular fibers and ground substance make up the matrix that surrounds the cells.
51
What are the extracellular fibers that make up the ground matrix?
* - fibroblasts produce all 3 kinds fibers through synthesis and secretion protein stunts that combine or aggregate within matrix 1) Collagen fiber: strongest and most common. flexible and strong. tendons and ligaments made mostly collagen fibers 2) reticular fibers: fraework tough but flexible. abundant in organs. resist forces applied from many different directions 3) elastic fibers: can stretch up to 150 percent of resting length recoil to regular dimension
52
what are the molecules that make up the ground substance in a matrix?
most common are - hyaluronic acid: polysaccharide: good lubricant - proteoglycans: protein and polysaccharide. protein attaches to hyaluronic acid - adhesive molecules- hold proteoglycan aggregates together.
