A

lymph nodes
spleen
bone marrow

25
Q

Dense Regular Tissue Structure

A

regularly arranged collagen and elastic fibers

26
Q

Dense regular function

A

withstand pulling forces, tensile and resistance strength in direction of fiber orientation

27
Q

dense regular location

A

vocal folds
elastic ligaments

28
Q

Dense Irregular structure

A

random array of collagen fibers

29
Q

dense irregular function

A

tensile strength
withstand stretching from all directions

30
Q

dense irregular location

A

organ capsules
outer covering of tubes

31
Q

Dense Elastic structure

A

bundles and sheets of collagenous and elastic fibers

32
Q

dense elastic function

A

stretching
capable of strength

33
Q

dense elastic location

A

elastic arteries

34
Q

Hyaline Cartilage structure

A

chondrocytes usually in groups
collagen fibers are small and evenly dispersed

35
Q

Hyaline cartilage function

A

allow growth of long bones
rigidity with some flexibility

36
Q

hyaline cartilage location

A

growing long bones
cartilage rings of respitory tract
costal cartilage
embryonic skeleton

37
Q

Fibrocartilage Structure

A

lots of collagen fibers in thick bundles
less chondrocytes
more spaced out

38
Q

Fibrocartilage Function

A

some what flexible
capable of withstanding great pressure
connecting structures that have great pressure

39
Q

Fibrocartilage Location

A

invertabral disks
articular disks (knee and jaw)

40
Q

Elastic Cartilage Structure

A

similar to hyaline but matrix has elastic fibers

41
Q

Elastic Cartilage Function

A

provides rigidity with more flexibility than hyaline
elastic fibers return to normal shape after being stretched

42
Q

Elastic Cartilage Location

A

external ears
epiglottis
auditory tubes

43
Q

protect against infection

48
Q

Blood Location

A

within blood vessels
