connective tissue Flashcards
(40 cards)
Types of fibrous connective tissue
Loose CT, Areolar CT, Adipose, Dense CT, Reticular, Dense Regular CT, Dense irregular CT
what are the 4 primary tissue?
epithelial, connective, nervous & muscular
functions of epithelial tissue
protection, secretion, & absorption
simple
a single layer of cells(squamous)
Stratified
several layers of cells (keratinized, non-keratinized) (squamous)
Pseudostratified
single layer, that appears stratified
Transitional
only epithelium that has elastic properties; only epithelium that stretches (transition between squamous and cuboidal
Cuboidal
the nucleus is round, and set in the center of the cell
columnar
the nucleus is elliptical and found near the base of the cell
prep of tissues
dehydrated, defatted,
simple squamous
flattened cells, squashed(fried egg appearance) thin layers (diffusion&osmosis) endothelium(lining of blood vessles and alveoli)
Stratified Squamous- nonkeratinized
layered squamous, diffusion & osmosis, upper layer will slough off (lining mouth, vaginal canal, cervix)
Simple columnar
column-shaped, elliptical nuclei found near base, goblet cells
simple columnar ciliated
ciliated columnar cells, goblet cells present
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
ciliated columnar cells, goblet cells present, wave materials form deep in the lungs out if damaged replaced by a body with squamous (keratinized)
Transitional epithelium
simple and stratified arrangement, cuboidal Dome shaped cells to Flat cells found in the lining of the urinary bladder and uterus only epithelium that is binucleate
Functions of connective tissue
binding of organs, support, physical protection, immune protection, movement, storage, heat production, transport
cells in CT
fibroblasts, macrophages, leukocytes, plasma cells, mast cells, adipocytes
fibers in CT
Collagenous, Reticular, Elastic
Loose CT dense irregular
found in skin, fibroblast, collagen fibers, scattered and unorganized
Dense CT dense regular
found in tendons and ligaments, fibroblasts, college, and fibers, highly organized
Areolar CT
is found in the skin and other parts of the body, use as padding, filled with immune cells
Reticular Fibers
Fibers found in lymph nodes, constructs for cellular components, architectural in functions
Adipose: Adipocytes
anywhere on the body, Functions as padding, energy storage, Can become mitotically active – tumor/lipoma
Can become malignant
