Biology lab exam 2

QuestionAnswer
What are the 4 primary tissue types? Epithelium, Connective Tissue, Nervous Tissue
What are Tissues? Group of cells that are similar in structure and function.
How can tissues be distinguished? They have distinct structures, patterns, and functions.
How can an organ's structure and function be determined? Arrangement of tissues in an organ determines the organ's structure and function.

What are the functions of Connective tissue? Connects organs to each other Connects the epithelium to the rest of the body Gives support and protection (physical and immune) Storage of energy and heat production (adipose) Movement and transports (blood)
Connective Tissue Description Consists of widely spaced cells separated by protein fibers and ground substance (matrix).
Which tissue is the most abundant and variable? Connective Tissue
Loose Connective Tissue Proper Areolar, Adipose and Reticular
Areolar Provides padding and separates skin from deeper tissue Elastic and collagen fibers
Adipose Fall cells Nucleus off to the side of the cell
Reticular Provides a framework for support
Dense CT Proper Dense Regular Dense Irregular Elastic CT
Dense Regular Tendon Densely packed collagen fibers Ligament
Dense Irregular CT Deep Dermis Capsule around internal organs
Elastic CT Within certain ligaments associated with the vertebral column.
Fluid Connective Tissue -Blood: RBC's (erythrocytes) WBC's (leukocytes) Platelets -Lymph
Function of RBC Carry blood gases
Function of WBC Fight infection
Function of Platelets Help form a plug to stop bleeding
Lymph The interstitial fluid found between the cells of the the human body. It enter the lymph vessels.
What are the supporting connective tissue? Cartilage and Bone
What are the 3 major types of Cartilage? Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage
What are the characteristics of Cartilage? Avascular Cartilage cells (chondrocytes) occupy small chambers called lacunae.
What is the bone tissue surrounded by? Periosteum
Osteons A group of osteocytes and concentric lamellae surrounding a central canal containing blood vessels.
Osteoblasts Form bone and mature into osteocytes
Osteocytes Help maintain bone
Osteoclasts Dissolve parts of the bone matrix
Concentric lamellae Rings of matrix surrounding the central canal
What helps maintain the bones? Osteocytes
Circumferential Lamella located deep to periosteum and superficial to the endosteum (around the entire circumference of the diaphysis)
What are the characteristics of Connective Tissue? Most are highly vascularized Composed of many types of cells There is alot of noncellular, nonliving material (matrix) between the cells of connective tissue.
What are the connective tissues that are poorly vascularized? Cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
What cells tend to be elongated, providing a long axis for contraction? Muscle cells
3 Types of Muscle Tissue and are they voluntary are involuntary? Skeletal Muscle (voluntary) Cardiac Muscle (involuntary) Smooth Muscle (involuntary)
What specialized junctions help with the cell interdigitate in cardiac muscle cells? In other words, connect the adjacent cardiac muscle cells. Intercalated discs
What characteristics do cardiac muscles have? Branching, Striations, Intercalated disc, and Nucleus
What is the function of Cardiac Muscle? As it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control.
Where can the cardiac muscle be found? The walls of the heart
What is the function of Smooth Muscle? Propels substances or objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways; involuntary control.
Where can the smooth muscles be found? Mostly in the walls of of hollow organs
What is the difference between dense regular connective tissue and smooth muscle under a microscope? Smooth Muscle has more nuclei
What are the characteristics of a skeletal muscle under a microscope? They have Striations, Nuclei, and part of muscle fiber (cell) They are long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells; obvious striations.
What are the rings of matrix surrounding the central canal? Concentric lamellae
