Connective Tissue and cartilage chapter 4

Question 1

Connective tissue function

Answer 1

Connects tissues and organs

Provides structure

Stores energy

Transport materials(blood)

Have no contact with enviroment

Question 2

Connective tissue location

Answer 2

It forms all ligaments and tendons.

It’s also found throughout the body in fibrous membrane coverings.

Question 3

Connective tissue characteristics

Answer 3

Specialized cells( adipocytes, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, osteocytes, leukocytes, chondrocytes, fibrocytes.

Solid extracellular protein fibers- elastic fibers, collagen fibers, and reticular fibers.

Fluid extracellular ground substance- gels, crystals, or semi solids.

Question 4

Erythrocytes

Answer 4

Red blood cells

Question 5

Leukocytes

Answer 5

White blood cells

Question 6

Thrombocytes

Answer 6

Platelets

Question 7

Fibroblasts

Answer 7

Found in all connective tissue proper.

Secretes proteins and hyalurinan(cellular cement)

Question 8

Mast cells

Answer 8

Stimulate inflammation after injury or infection.

Release histamine and heparin.

Basophils are mast cells carried by blood.

Adipocytes

Answer 9

Fat cells

Each cell stores a single, large fat droplet,

Question 10

Microphages

Answer 10

Phagocytic blood cells

Question 11

Lymphocytes

Answer 11

Specialized immune cells

Question 12

Osteocytes

Answer 12

Bone cells

Question 13

Chondrocytes

Answer 13

Cartilage cells

Question 14

Collagen fibers

Answer 14

Most common fibers in connective tissue proper

Long, straight, and unbranched

Strong and flexible

Resist force in one direction

Ex: tendons and ligaments

Question 15

Reticular fibers

Answer 15

Network of interwoven fibers(stroma)

Strong and flexible

Resist force in many directions

Stabilize functional cells and structures

Ex: sheats around organs

Question 16

Elastic fibers

Answer 16

Contain elastin

Branched and wavy

Return to original length after stretching

Ex: elastic ligaments of vertebrae

Question 17

Ground substance

Answer 17

Fluid to make sure the fibers stay in place

Is clear, colorless and viscous

Fills spaces between cells and slows pathogen movement.
