Connective Tissue, location, description Flashcards
Tissue that connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues
or organs
Connective Tissue
Three main components of Connective Tissue
Cells, Fibers, and Ground substance
Fibers are separated from each other by ground substance
Loose connective Tissue
Fibers are closely packed
Dense connective Tissue
Gel-like matrix with all three fiber types, Cells of areolar connective tissue, what tissue is this
Areolar connective tissue
The location of this tissue is widely distributed under epithelia, Packages organs, surrounds capillaries
Areolar connective tissue
Closely packed adipocytes Have a nucleus pushed to one side by a fat droplet, Richly vascularized, what tissue is this
Adipose Tissue
The location of this tissue is Under the skin, Around kidneys, Behind eyeballs, within the abdomen, and in breasts, Hypodermis
Adipose Tissue
Network of reticular fibers in loose ground substance, what tissue is this
Reticular Connective Tissue
the location of this tissue are the Lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen
Reticular Connective Tissue
Collagen fibers are parallel to the direction of pull, Fibroblasts are located between collagen fibers, Contain few elastic fibers, Have great tensile strength, are Poorly vascularized, Forms fascia, what tissue is this
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
The location of this tissue is the Tendons and ligaments, Aponeuroses, and Fascia around the muscles
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Collagen fibers are thick and irregularly arranged and contain some elastic fibers and fibroblasts, what tissue is this
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
The location of this tissue Dermis of the skin, Submucosa of the digestive tract, Fibrous capsules of joints, Capsules surrounding organs, such as kidneys, bones, and lymph nodes
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Elastic fibers predominate, what tissue is this
Elastic Connective Tissue
The location of this tissue is Within walls of arteries, In certain ligaments, Surrounding bronchial tubes
Elastic Connective Tissue
_____________ is a flexible connective tissue that keeps joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bones in our joints and by cushioning bones against impact.
Cartilage
Imperceptible collagen fibers, Chodroblasts produce matrix, and Chondrocytes, Are mature cartilage cells, Lie within lacunae. What cartilage is this
Hyaline Cartilage
The location of this Fetal skeleton, Cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx, Costal cartilage of ribs, Ends of long bones
Hyaline Cartilage
More elastic fibers in the matrix, What cartilage is this
Elastic Cartilage
The location of this supports the external ear, Epiglottis
Elastic Cartilage
Matrix is similar but less firm than hyaline cartilage, Thick collagen fibers predominate, what cartilage is this
Fibrocartilage
The location of this is Intervertebral discs, Pubic symphysis, Discs of knee joint
Fibrocartilage
Inorganic calcium salts, an Abundance of collagen fibers, Osteoblasts—that secrete collagen fibers and, the ground substance of the matrix, Osteocytes—mature bone cells in lacunae, Well vascularized
Bone tissue
