Connective Tissue Proper
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what type of connective tissue proper contains all three fiber types? | areolar or loose CT |
| the vascularity of areolar CT is described as high, fair, or none? | high |
| where is areolar CT found in the human body? | under most epithelium, between muscles (it's the universal packing material) |
| what cell type is found within areolar or loose CT? | fibrocytes or fibroblasts |
| what type of connective tissue proper doesn't have a strong fiber content and is a specialized form of areolar or loose CT? | apipose (fat) |
| what cell type is found within adipose? | adipocytes |
| what fiber type is found within adipose? | reticular |
| the vascularity of adipose is decribed as high, fair, or none? | high |
| where is adipose found within the human body? | within joints; around organs like the heart, kidneys, and eyebalss |
| what is the purpose of adipose? | store energy, protection, insulation |
| what type of connective tissue proper contains collagenous fibers all arranged in the same direction? | dense regular CT |
| what fiber type is found within dense regular CT? | collagenous |
| what cell type is found within dense regular CT? | fibrocytes or fibroblasts |
| the vascularity of dense regular CT is described as high, fair, or none? | fair |
| where are the cells normally seen in dense regular CT? | cells are seen in rows between the collagenous fibers |
| where is dense regular CT found within the human body? | tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses |
| what is a tendon? | a cord-like piece of tissue that connects bone to muscle |
| what is a ligament? | a cord-like piece of tissue that connects bone to bone |
| what is a aponeurosis? | a flat, sheet-like tendon that covers muscles like the rectus abdominis |
| what type of connective tissue proper contains collagenous and elastic fibers in a random fashion? | dense irregular CT |
| what cell type is found within dense irregular CT? | fibrocytes or fibroblasts |
| what fiber types are found within dense irregular CT? | collagenous and elastic |
| the vascularity of dense irregular CT is described as high, fair, or none? | fair |
| where is dense irregular CT found within the human body? | dermis of the skin, fascia, perichondrium, periosteum |
| what is fascia? | dense irregular CT found between individual muscles |
| what is a perichondrium? | a membrane composed of dense irregular CT that surrounds cartilage |
| what is a periosteum? | a membrane composed of dense irregular CT that surrounds bone |
| what does the prefix peri- mean? | around |
