Lab 7 Flashcards
(91 cards)
functions of adipose tissue
-provides padding, cushions shocks
-insulates (reduce heat loss)
-energy storage
functions of areolar tissue
-cushions organs
-provides support but permits movement
-phagocytes protect against pathogens
histological attribute of adipose tissue
-“chicken wire appearance”
-large pale staining central vacuole contains fat droplet
-displaced adipocyte nuclei (off to the side)
histological attributes of areolar tissue
-loosely arranged collagen and elastic fibers
-interspersed fibrocytes
-many immune system cells with larger nuclei
locations of adipose tissue
breasts, buttocks, deep to the skin, padding around eyes and kidneys
locations of areolar tissue
-within and deep to the dermis of the skin
-covered by epithelial lining of digestive, respiratory and urinary tracts
-between muscles
-around joints
-around blood vessels and nerves
locations of dense regular tissue
-tendons (between skeletal muscle and skeleton)
-ligaments (between bones or stabilizing organs)
-covering skeletal muscles
-deep fascae
functions of dense regular tissue
stabilizes bones, provides attachment and conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction of muscles
histological elements of dense regular tissue
-linear arrangement of fibroblast cells with flattened nuclei
-many closely packed collagen fibers
-wave-like arrangement of collagen fibers
location of hyaline cartilage
-between tips of ribs and bones of sternum
-covering articular surfaces of bones
-nasal septum
functions of hyaline cartilage
-provides stiff but flexible support
-reduces friction between bony surfaces
histological features of hyaline cartilage
-“hazy” appearing matrix
-mature chondrocytes lay in lacunae
location of elastic cartilage
-auricle of external ear
-epiglottis
functions of elastic cartilage
-tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape
histological features of elastic cartilage
-scant matrix with many dark staining elastic fibers
-chondrocytes lay in lacunae
locations of fibrocartilage
-pads within knee joint
-intervertebral discs
functions of fibrocartilage
-resists compression
-prevents bone to bone contact
-limits movement
histological features of fibrocartilage
-lacunae arranged in clusters or alternate rows
-fibrous matrix with thick collagen fibers
histological features of skeletal muscle tissue
-single, long, multi-nucleated cells, arranged in parallel rows
-obvious striations
histological features of cardiac muscle tissue
-short branching chains of uni- or bi- nucleated cells
-striated
-intercalated discs
histological features of smooth muscle tissue
-single, uni-nucleated, spindle-shaped cells
-non-striated
- Two-part
muscle
consisting of a
frontal and
occipital belly - Extends from
the forehead to
the back of the
head
Epicranius
- Pulls scalp
forward and
back - Raises
eyebrows - Wrinkles
forehead
Epicranius
Thin muscle
surrounding the
eyelid and rim of
the orbit
Orbicularis
oculi
