TermDefinition
Elastin Protein base similar to collagen that forms elastic tissue.
Reticular Tissue Forms internal supporting framework of soft organs such as the spleen.
Cartilage A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and that protects the ends of bones and keeps them from rubbing together. Dense connective.
Ligament Connects bone to bone
Fibers Bone contains large amounts of collagen __________________________
Platelets part of blood responsible for clotting.
Knees fibrocartilage is located between the vertebra and ___________________
Elastic Cartilage opaque, flexible connective tissue with many elastic fibers.
Cardiac Muscle Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart.
Extracellular Matrix Spaces between cells.
Loose Connective _______________________connective tissues areolar, adipose, reticular.
Inorganic Bone tissue stores _______________________ materials such as calcium ions and phosphate ions.
Adipose Tissue _____________ tissue that cushions joints, stores energy, and insulates.
Bone Produces red blood cells.
Smooth Muscle Involuntary, non striated muscle found inside many internal organs of the body.
Neuroglia cells that support and protect neurons.
Cutaneous ______________________ membrane that is the outer skin.
Voluntary Skeletal muscles are the only type of _____________________ muscles.
Squamous Serous membranes are made up of a layer of simple _______________________ and areolar tissue.
Ears elastic cartilage is located in the outer parts of our _________________--
Osteon Canal section of bone tissue.
Mucous Membrane membrane that lines a cavity or opening that has an opening to the outside of the body.
Supply Bone tissue heals more quickly than cartilage tissue because it has a better _______________ of blood.
Chondrocytes cartilage cells.
Areolar Tissue Binds skin to underlying organs.
Tendon Connects muscle to bone.
Mucous Membrane located in the digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems.
Vocal Cords Folds of connective tissue made up of elastin that stretch across the opening of the larynx and produce a person's voice.
Calcium Bones stores ions such as phosphate and ___________________________.
Joints Synovial membranes line these in your body.
Serous Membrane Membrane that lines a cavity without an opening to the outside of the body.
Fibrocartilage cartilage that contains fibrous bundles of collagen, such as that of the intervertebral disks in the spinal cord.
Hyaline Cartilage Most common type of cartilage.
Neuron Basic Nerve cell
Fibroblasts In connective tissue, cells that secrete the proteins of the fibers.
Collagen Fibers White fiber consisting of the protein, common in connective tissues, including bone matrix.
Connective Tissue Loose, dense, bone, blood, membrane.
Goblet Mucous membrane has ___________________ cells that produce the mucus.
Nervous Tissue A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body.
Adipose collection of fat cells.
Transports Main function of the red blood cells is to ___________________ nutrients, waste, and other materials throughout the body.
Involuntary Smooth and cardiac muscle tissues have this in common they are both ______________________.
Synovial _________________________ membrane made up completely of connective tissue.
Mast cells Cells that release chemicals (such as histamine) that promote inflammation.
Epithelial Membranes Serous, mucous, synovial, and cutaneous.
Blood Made up of red and white types.
Osteocytes Individual bone cells
Macrophages Found within the lymph nodes, they are phagocytes that destroy bacteria, cancer cells, and other foreign matter in the lymphatic stream.
Plasma The liquid portion of the blood.
Bone Tissue Most rigid connective tissue, Internally supports body structures, very active tissue, heals much more rapidly than cartilage.
Skeletal Muscle A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the force that moves the bones.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
