Tissues Flashcards
epithelial and connective tissue characteristics (34 cards)
multicellular exocrine gland
group of secretory cells and a duct through which the secretions pass as they exit the gland
Branched exocrine gland
branching arrangement of secretory cells in the gland
simple or compound exocrine gland
whether the duct of the gland (not the secretory portion) does not branch or branches, respectively
tubular exocrine gland
a gland whose secretory cells form a tube, alveolar (acinar) describes secretory cells that form a bulblike sac

cells present in dense regular connective tissue
fibroblasts
fibers present in dense regular connective tissue

cells resent in dense irregular connective tissue
fibroblasts
fibers present in dense irregular connective tissue
collagen (some elastic)
cells and fibers present in hyaline cartilage
chondrocytes and collagen fibers (some elastic)
cells and fibers present in fibrocartilage
chondrocytes and collagen fibers (some elastic)
cells and fibers present in elastic cartilage
chondrocytes and elastic fibers
cells and fibers present in compact bone tissue
osteoblasts, osteocytes, and collagen fibers
cells and fibers present in spongy bone tissue
osteoblasts, osteocytes, and collagen fibers
cells and fibers present in blood
erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes and “fibers” are soluble proteins that form during clotting
cells and fibers present in lymph
leukocytes and “fibers” are soluble proteins that form during clotting
reticular cells
resemble fibroblasts, but have long, cellular processes (extensions). They occur in loose connective tissue
hemocytoblasts
occur in the bone marrow and produce erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes
Macrophages
engulf foreign and dead cells
