| Compare and contrast the general characteristics of connective tissue proper, supporting connective tissue, and fluid connective tissue | Proper: loose and dense Supporting: cartilage, bone Fluid: blood lymph |
| The structure of Areolar connective tissue | Loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers in a gel-like ground substance Contains various cells like fibroblasts, macrophages, and mast cells |
| Compare and contrast the structure, function, and location of the three types of muscle tissue | Skeletal: striated, voluntary, multinucleated, movement of skeleton. Cardiac: striated, involuntary, intercalated disc, pumps blood Smooth: non striated, involuntary, wall of hollow organs |
| The locations of nervous tissue. | Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, and Sensory Organs |
| The structure of nervous tissue. | Neurons (nerve cells) and Neuroglia (glial cells) |
| The function of nervous tissue. | Receive stimuli, Process information, Transmit signals, and Control body functions |
| Identify types of connective tissue | Areolar Connective Tissue, Adipose Tissue, and Dense Regular Connective Tissue |
| Give examples of wandering cells in connective tissue proper | Mast cells, Plasma cells, Free macrophages, and Leukocytes |
| an organ. | a structure in the body made up of two or more different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or group of functions. |
| Provide an example of the tissues that may compose an organ | The Heart: Muscle tissue, Connective tissue, Epithelial tissue, and Nervous tissue |
| Identify and describe the structure of mucous membrane | The top layer is made of epithelial tissue, which varies depending on the location (can be simple columnar, stratified squamous, etc.). |
| Identify and describe the structure of serous membrane | Epithelial Layer: Made of a simple squamous epithelium called mesothelium. These flat cells secrete a thin, watery fluid. |
| Identify and describe the structure of synovial membranes. | Made mostly of specialized connective tissue (not epithelial tissue like mucous or serous membranes). Contains synoviocytes, cells that produce synovial fluid |
| The three primary germ layers. | Ectoderm, Mesoderm, and Endoderm |
| Describe how does Hypertrophy tissues may change in form, size, or number of cells | increase in cell size |
| List some changes that occur in tissues with age | slower repair, thinner epithelia, reduced elastically, less collagen, decreased blood supply, fragility. |
| Name the classes of epithelia based on cell shapes. | Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar |
| Identify the location and describe the function of mucous membrane | secret mucus, respiratory, digestive |
| Identify the location and describe the function of serous membrane | produces serous fluid, pleura, pericardium |
| Identify and describe the function of synovial membranes | Lines the inside of synovial joints (like knees and elbows), helping reduce friction between moving bones. |
| List exocrine gland types based on physiologic method of secretion | Merocrine glands (exocytosis), Apocrine glands (portion pinched off), and Holocrine glands (whole cell disintegrates) |
| The function of Areolar Connective Tissue | Provides support and cushioning around organs Holds tissues and organs in place Allows for nutrient and waste exchange between tissues |
| The function of Adipose Connective Tissue | Stores energy as fat Provides insulation and protection for organs |
| The function of Dense Regular Connective Tissue | Provides strong, flexible support in one direction Connects muscles to bones (tendons) and bones to bones (ligaments) |
| The structure of Adipose connective tissue | Fat-storing cells (adipocytes) packed closely together Very little extracellular matrix |
| The structure of Dense Regular connective tissue | Densely packed collagen fibers aligned in parallel Few cells, mostly fibroblasts |
| The function of connective tissues | Support, binding, storage, transport, protection, immune defense. |
