CT
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Connective tissues | -Most abundent and widely distributed -found in all parts of the body -Forms a framework where epithelial tissues rest -is within the nervous and muscle tissues are embedded |
| Functions of CT | Protect support binding energy storage |
| Charactertistics | -Have a rich blood supply (except for bone and cartilage -Varies cell type -varies in fiber type -cells and fibers are scattered within ground substance |
| CT is classified into | 1.) Cell population- fibroblasts, adipocytes exc. 2.)Fiber type-Collagen, reticular, elastic 3.)Ground substance AKA extracellur matrix |
| Connective tissue proper means | Blood--> therefore highly vascularized |
| Supportive connective tissue | not as vascularized so ground substance is fairly solid |
| Fluid Connective tissue | Ground substance is liquid |
| Areolar CT | F- Protects tissues and organs L-Surrounds organs |
| Adipose CT | F- stores energy L- Surrounds and covers some organs |
| Reticular CT | F-provides stoma L-Spleen |
| Dense regular CT | F-Connects bone to bone L-Tendons |
| Dense irregular CT | F- Durable L-Dermis of the Skin |
| Elastic CT | F-Allows stretching and recoil L- Vocal cords |
| Hyaline cartilage | F- Provides support L-tip of the nose |
| Elastic Cartilage | F- permits extensive flexibility L- External ear |
| Fibrocartilage | F- Shock absorber L-Meniscus of the Knee joint |
| Bone | F- Protects organs L- Bones of the body |
| Blood | F-Move nutrients, waste, hormones through body L-Blood vessels/ heart |
