27
explain: types of mature CT (3)
1. CT proper - loose = less prot. fibers, more ground subs. ⤷ areolar (collagen), adipose, reticular - dense = more prot. fibers, less ground subs. ⤷ reg./irreg. collagenous, reg./irreg. elastic 2. supporting CT - cartilage and bone 3. fluid CT - blood
28
question: types of prot. fibers in regular collagenous vs regular elastic
- regular collagenous = doesn't really have elastic ⤷ mostly collagenous tissue - regular elastic = has a little collagen ⤷ collagen for a little strength
29
recap: where is each type of CT found?
LOOSE AREOLAR - skin ADIPOSE - adipose tissue DENSE REG COLLAGENOUS - tendons and ligaments DENSE IRREG COLLAGENOUS - dermis (skin) - scars - kidney and spleen DENSE REG ELASTIC - vocal folds DENSE IRREG ELASTIC - elastic arteries
30
explain: somatic NS
- division of PNS - CNS for skeletal sys. - voluntary - single neuron sys. - synapse w/ muscle sys.
31
explain: autonomic NS
- division of PNS - CNS to smooth musc., cardiac musc., glands - involuntary - 2 neuron sys. ⤷ from CNS to ganglion, from ganglion to effector - 2 types a) sympathetic - prep. body for any physical activity - increases heart rate - fight vs flight b) parasympathetic - regulates resting func. - active when body not physical - decreases heart rate
32
explain: enteric NS
- division of PNS - plexuses w/in wall of digestive tract - controls tract indep. of CNS - sensory: monitor chem. envrt. + stretching of walls - motor: contracting musc. + control secretions of GI organs
