Connective Tissue Flashcards
(35 cards)
fluid connective tissue that travels in vessels
circulating connective tissue
type of connective tissue that carries nutrients, gases, wastes, and other materials throughout body
circulating connective tissue
connective tissue that supports and protectects
loose connective tissue
connective tissue that is padding around organs, and joints, and under the skin; insultates the body, and is stored in tissues as energy supply
Adipose connective tissue
connective tissue that is composed of cells modified to store fat
Adipose connective tissue
functions of Dense connective tissue
protection, support, flexibility attachment
connective tissue type that has a firm consistency with large numbers of fibers, including collagenous and elastic fibers
Dense connective tissue
two types of loose connective tissue
areolar and adipose
two types of circulating connective tissue
blood and lympth
three types of dense connective tissue
irregular, regular, and elastic
dense connective tissue that is described as mostly collagenous fibers in a random arrangement
irregular connective tissue
ligaments and tendons would be examples of what type of dense connective tissue
regular connective tissue
connective tissue that would be described as mostly collagenous fibers in parallel alignment
regular connective tissue
connective tissue that is located in fibrous membranes, and capsules
irregular connective tissue
blood vessel walls, and respiratory passages would be examples of what type of dense connective tissue
Elastic connective tissue
connective tissue described as having many elastic fibers, ability to stretch and return to original size
Elastic connective tissue
epithelial tissue described as flat, irregular cells in layers; protects underlying tissue
stratified squamous epithelial tissue
where can you find simple squamous epithelial tissue
capillary walls, lung alveoli, glomerular capsule in kidney; also serous membranes
where can you locate tubules and ducts, as in kidney, liver, and glands
simple cuboidal epithelial tissue
epithelial tissue that is described as square cells with central round nuclei
simple cuboidal epithelial tissue
epithelial tissue that lines the stomach, intestine, oviducts, also in membranes
simple columnar epithelial tissue
epithelial tissue that is described as long, narrow cells with ovoid basal nuclei
simple columnar epithelial tissue
function of stratified epithelial tissue
protection; in areas subject to wear and tear
epithelial tissue that you can located as outer layer of skin, lining of mouth, throat, anus, vagina
stratified squamous epithelial tissue
