Connective Tissues
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Connective Tissue Proper | Link muscles to bones, and hold joints together; provide the body with more than structural connections and form they play vital roles in defense, repair, storage, and nutrition |
| Speciaized Connective Tissue | Contains cells, fibers, and ground substance; Stores minerals, provides inernal support, protects vital organs, enables movement, and provides attachment sites for muscles and tendons |
| Loose Connective Tissue | Holds organs in place and attaches epithetlial tissue to other underlying tissues |
| Dense Connective Tissue | Type of tissue for strength |
| Areolar Connective Tissue | Support and bind of other tissues; Helps in defending against infection |
| Lamina Propria | Supports the delicate mucosal epithelium, allows the epithelium to move freely with respect to deeper structures, and provides for immune defense |
| Hyaluronic Acid | Retains water to keep tisses well lubricated and moist |
| Hyaluronidase | Enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of hyauronic acid in the body; Increase the permeability of tissue to fluids |
| Edema | Occurs when tiny blood vessels in your body leak fluid. |
| Pitting Edema | When a swollen part of your body has a dimple after you press it for a few seconds. |
| Adipose | Central metabolic organ in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis |
| White adipose Tissue | Key energy reservoir for other organs |
| Brown Adipose Tissue | Accumulates lipids for cold-induced adaptive thermogenesis |
| Hibernate | An animal spending th winter in a domant state |
| Hibernating Gland | A tissue found beneath the skin of the back or abdomen of varous mammals that consists of brownish fat cells in a network o vascular connective tissue and serves as a storage for food |
| Reticular Connective Tissue | Form a stroma and provide structural support, such as lymphoid organs. (Ex. Red Bone marrow, spleen, and lymph node stromal cells). |
| Stroma | Manages the chloroplast response to cellular stresses and signaling between various organelles. Plays an important role in both the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis |
| Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue | Type of connective tissue with fibers as its main matrix element |
| Dense Regular Connective Tissue | Transfer forces to bones |
| Fascia | Provides support, shape, and suspension for most of the soft tissues of the body. |
| Dense Irregular Connective Tissue | Has fibers that are not arranged in parallel bundles as in dense regular connective tissue; Has less ground substance than loose connective tissue |
| Dermis | Supports and protects the skin and deeper layers, assist in thermoregulation, and aid in sensation |
| Elastic Connective Tissue | Gives the arterial walls the strength and the ability to regain original shape after stretching. |
| Cartilage | A flexible connective tissue that keeps joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bones in the joints and by cushioning bones against impact. |
| Gristle | A dense form of connective tissue performing various functions in the body such as providing bearing surfaces in the joints, flexible linkages for the ribs, and a supportive tissue in which bone may be formed during growth. |
| Chondrocytes | Cartilage Cells |
| Lacunae | Provides a habitat for bone cells- which are also known as osteocytes |
| Chondroitin Sulfate | A natural substance used for the tratment of osteoarthritic conditions; Mainly attached covalently to core proteins in the form of proteoglycans |
| Chondronectin | Cartilage matrixprotein tat specifically mediates the attachement of chondrocytes to type II collagen |
| Perichondrium | Allows blood flow to easily pass through your body; Helps distribute nutrients necessary to strengthen and nourish your cartilage |
| Hyaline Cartilage | Provides mechanical support for the respiratory tree, nose, articular surfaces, and developing bones |
| Articular Cartilage | A thin layer of specialized connective tissue with uniqure properties; Provides a smooth, lubricated surface for low friction articulation and to facilitate the transmission of loads tot he underlying the subchondral bone. |
| Elastic Cartilage | Has abundant elastic fibers in addition to collagen, making the matrix much more elastic than hyaline cartilage |
| Fibrocartilage | acts as buffers and spacers in joints with frequent movement and high impact; Connecting fibrocartilage in limited-motion joints |
| Neurons | Receiing sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaing the electrical signals at every step in between |
| Perikaryon | Cell bodyy the bulbous, non-process portion of a neuron or other brain cell type, contains the cell nucleus |
| Dendrites | Designed to receive communications from other cells. |
| Axon | Allow neurons to transmit electrical and chemical signals to other cells |
| Neuroglial Cells | Provide developmental, physiological, and metabolic support for neurons; Maintain homeostatic control and immune surveillance |
| Phagocytize | Allows cells of the immune system to know what they are fighting against |
