17
Q

cells and fibers present in elastic cartilage

A

chondrocytes and elastic fibers

18
Q

cells and fibers present in compact bone tissue

A

osteoblasts, osteocytes, and collagen fibers

19
Q

cells and fibers present in spongy bone tissue

A

osteoblasts, osteocytes, and collagen fibers

20
Q

cells and fibers present in blood

A

erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes and “fibers” are soluble proteins that form during clotting

21
Q

cells and fibers present in lymph

A

leukocytes and “fibers” are soluble proteins that form during clotting

22
Q

reticular cells

A

resemble fibroblasts, but have long, cellular processes (extensions). They occur in loose connective tissue

23
Q

hemocytoblasts

A

occur in the bone marrow and produce erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes

24
Q

Macrophages

A

engulf foreign and dead cells

25
mast cells
secrete histamine which stimulates immune response
26
plasma cells
produce antibodies
27
ground substance
may be fluid, gel, or solid and except for blood, is secreted by the cells of the connective tissue. Proteoglycans provide the firmness of the ground substance
28
loose connective tissue
abundant cells among few or loosely arranged fibers and sparse to abundant gelatinous ground substance
29
dense connective tissue
few cells among a dense network of fibers with little ground substance
30
cartilage
cells distributed among fibers in a firm jellylike ground substance. It is tough, but flexible, avascular, and without nerves
31
Bone
cells distributed among abundant fibers in a solid ground substance containing minerals, mostly calcium phosphate. Organized in units called osteons.
32
2 kinds of embryonic connective tissues
mesenchyme is the origin of all mature connective tissues. Mucous connective tissue is a temporary tissue formed during embryonic development
33
epithelial membrane
combo of epithelial and connective tissues working together to perform a specific functions. It acts as an organ. 4 principle types
34
4 types of epithelial membrane
serous: line interior organs and cavities (heart, lungs, abdominal) mucous line body cavities that open to the outside of the body (nasal, digestive, respiratory, urogenital tract) synovial line the cavities at bone joints cutaneous membrane is the skin
