All Connective tissue arise from

A

mesenchyme

(embryonic tissue)

3
Q

Functions of Connective Tissue

A

Binding and support
Protection
Insulation
Transportation

4
Q

Structural Elements of Connective Tissue

A

Ground substance / matrix(gel-like fluidsurrounding fibers and cells)
Fibers
Cells

5
Q

Types of fibers

A

Collagen
Elastic
Reticular

6
Q

Description of Areolar CT

A

Gel like matrix with all three fiber types; fibroblasts,macrophages,mast cells and some white blood cells.

7
Q

Function of Areolar CT

A

Wraps and cushions organs; plays important role in inflamation; holds and conveys tissue fluid.

8
Q

Location of Areolar CT

A

Widely distributed under epithelia of body ;forms lamina proper of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds capillaries

9
Q

Function of Adipose CT

A

Insulates the body and stores excess nutrients

10
Q

Strongest and largest of the three fiber types

Found in bones and skin

A

Collagen

11
Q

Able to stretch and recoil

Help structurally support things

A

Elastic

12
Q

Internal framework for certain organs

A

Reticular

13
Q

Location of Adipose CT

A

Found throughout entire body - deep to the skin

14
Q

Description of Adipose CT

A

Loose connective tissue

Fat tissue

15
Q

Adipocytes are

A

fat cells

16
Q

Description of Reticular CT

A

Loose connective tissue

Filled with reticular fibers

17
Q

Location of Reticular CT

A

Found in lymphatic organs and the liver

18
Q

Description of Dense Regular CT

A

Dense connective tissue

Collagen fibers run parallel to each other

19
Q

Function of Dense Regular CT

A

Resist tension and pulling forces in one direction

20
Q

Location of Dense Regular CT

A

Found in tendons (attach muscle to bone) and ligaments (attach bone to bone)

21
Q

Description of Dense Irregular CT

A

Dense connective tissue

Not running parallel to each other

22
Q

Function of Dense Irregular CT

A

Resists tension from several directions

23
Q

Location of Dense Irregular CT

A

Found in dermis (deep layer of your skin) and joint capsules (wherever you have a place where two or more bones meet you have a capsule - space between your bones)

24
Q

Elastic Cartilage CT

A

Filled with elastic fibers
Flexible
Maintains shape

25
Q

Elastic Cartilage CT

A

Filled with elastic fibers
Flexible
Maintains shape

26
Q

Fasciae

A

Connective tissue
Anchors skin to muscles and underlying organs
Deeper Fasciae - continues with other structures

27
Q

Bone (Osseous Tissue) Description

A

Hard calcified matrix made up of collagen fibers;All cartilage is Avascular (no blood vessels)

28
Q

Bone (Osseous Tissue Function

A

support and protection; levers for muscles to act on; stores calcium ,minerals and fat

29
Q

Cartilage cells are called

A

Chondrocytes - also found in Lacunae

30
