radiation that pass through the body and get detected digitally or with film
x ray
used to diagnose broken teeth or bone
x ray
why can X-ray detect foreign objects in lungs
low density of air
can detect dense areas in the breast
x ray
CT stands for..
computed tomography
still uses X-ray but 3d image is produced
CT
contrast dyes often injected or swallowed to enhance visability
CT
often used to diagnose abdominal, vertebral column and brain injuries, some cancers
CT
uses powerful magnet and radio waves to create images based on diff magnetic properties of organs/tissues
MRI
better images of soft tissues, no radiation
MRI
what is MRI not good for
skeletal or lung imaging
makes 3d images of tissue func instead of anatomy by using injection
Positron Emission tomography
combined with CT or MRI to better ID active tissues
PET
commonly used to diagnose cancer or highlight active brain areas
PET
portion of mesoderm, forms connective tissue and blood vessel
mesenchymal cells
3 cells that fall into mesenchymal cells
fibroblasts, osteoblasts, adipocytes
what percent of cancers are mesenchymal
10%
most diverse of tissue
connective e
all of connective tissue comes from what
mesenchymal cells
main classes of connective tissue
connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, blood
what are cells in connective tissue separated by
ECM that they produce
what do connective tissues have differing amounts of
collagen, elastin, reticular fibers
consist of various fibers along ground substrates,
ECM
clear gel of loose polysaccharides and carb-protein molecules that attract and hold water
ECM
