Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE

A

HYALINE CARTILAGE
FIBROCARTILAGE
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
BONES

20
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE

  • Collagen fibers are small and evenly dispersed in the matrix, making the matrix appear transparent; the chondrocytes are found in spaces, or lacunae, within the firm but flexible matrix
A

HYALINE CARTILAGE

21
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Allows growth of long bones; provides rigidity with some flexibility in the trachea, bronchi, ribs, and nose; forms strong, smooth, yet somewhat flexible articulating surfaces, forms the embryonic skeleton
A

HYALINE CARTILAGE

22
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
LOCATION

  • Growing long bones, cartilage rings of the respiratory system, costal cartilage of ribs, nasal cartilages, articulating surface of bones, and the embryonic skeleton
A

HYALINE CARTILAGE

23
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE

  • Collagen fibers similar to those in hyaline cartilage; the fibers are more numerous than in other cartilages and are arranged in thick bundles
A

FIBROCARTILAGE

24
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Somewhat flexible and capable of withstanding considerable pressure; connects structures subjected to great pressure
A

FIBROCARTILAGE

25
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
LOCATION

  • Intervertebral disks, pubic symphysis. and articular disks (eg. knees and temporomandibular (jaw) joints)
A

FIBROCARTILAGE

26
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE

  • Similar to hyaline cartilage, but matrix also contains elastin fibers
A

ELASTIC CARTILAGE

27
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Provides rigidity with even more flexibility than hyaline cartilage because elastic fibers return to their original shape after being stretched
A

ELASTIC CARTILAGE

28
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
LOCATION

  • External ears, epiglottis, and auditory tubes
A

ELASTIC CARTILAGE

29
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE

  • Hard, bony matrix predominates; many osteocytes (not seen in this bone preparation) are located within lacunae; the matrix is organized into layers called Lamellae
A

SUPPORTING CONNECTIVE TISSUE: BONE

30
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Provides great strength and support and protects internal organs, such as the brain; bone also provides attachment sites for muscles and ligaments; the joints of bones allow movements
A

SUPPORTING CONNECTIVE TISSUE: BONE

31
Q

SKELETAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE
LOCATION

  • All bones of the body
A

SUPPORTING CONNECTIVE TISSUE: BONE

32
Q

CARDIOVASCULAR TISSUE

  • Blood cells and a fluid matrix

FLUID CONNECTIVE TISSUE: BLOOD

33
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE

A

SKELETAL MUSCLE
CARDIAC MUSCLE
SMOOTH MUSCLE

34
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE

  • Appear striated (banded); cells are large, long, and cylindrical with many nuclei
A

SKELETAL MUSCLE

35
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Movement of the body; under voluntary control
A

SKELETAL MUSCLE

36
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE
LOCATION

  • Attached to bone or other connective tissue
A

SKELETAL MUSCLE

37
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE

  • Cylindrical and striated and have a single nucleus; they are branched and connected to one another by intercalated disks, which contain gap junctions
A

CARDIAC MUSCLE

38
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Pumps the blood; under involuntary (unconscious) control
A

CARDIAC MUSCLE

39
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE
LOCATION

  • In the heart
A

CARDIAC MUSCLE

40
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE

  • Tapered at each end, are not striated, and have a single nucleus
A

SMOOTH MUSCLE

41
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Regulates the size of organs, forces fluid through tubes, controls the amount of light entering the eye and produces ‘’goose bumps” in the skin, under involuntary (unconscious) control
A

SMOOTH MUSCLE

42
Q

MUSCULAR TISSUE
LOCATION

  • In hollow organs, such as the stomach and intestines; skin and eyes.
A

SMOOTH MUSCLE

43
Q

NERVOUS TISSUE

  • A neurons consists of dendrites, a cell body, and a long axon; neurolgia, support cells, surround the neurons
A

NERVOUS TISSUE: NEURONS

44
Q

NERVOUS TISSUE
FUNCTION

  • Neurons transmits information in the form of action potentials, store information, and integrate and evaluate data: neuroglia support, protect and form specialized sheaths around axons
A

NERVOUS TISSUE: NEURONS

45
Q

NERVOUS TISSUE
LOCATION

  • In the brain, spinal cord, and ganglia
A

NERVOUS TISSUE: NEURONS
