Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Primary Tissues   show
🗑
show Complex multicellular organisms, groups of cells have differentiated in special ways to form tissues, organs and systems.  
🗑
Tissue   show
🗑
show Ectoderm, Mesoderm, Endoderm  
🗑
show smooth - involuntary, cardiac-uni/binucleate, branched, striated, involuntary, only in heartskeletal-multinucleate, unbranched, striated  
🗑
show distribution in the body, striated, number of nuclei in the cell, whether cells are branched or unbranched, voluntary or involuntary  
🗑
show striated, voluntary. multinucleate, unbranched,  
🗑
show striated, involuntary, only in heart. uni/binucleate, branched,  
🗑
show Viceral, non striated and involuntary . Can also occurs at body periphery in eyes and skin. Cells are uninucleate, unbranched, and smooth (not striated). Involuntary  
🗑
Connective Tissue (general)   show
🗑
Nerve Tissue (General)   show
🗑
Functions of Connective Tissue   show
🗑
Characteristics of Connective tissue   show
🗑
show Ground Substance, Fibers, Cells. Cells=living portion. GS and fibers occur between cells = extracellular matrix  
🗑
show Unstructured material that fills the space bet. the cells and contains the fibers. Contains GAGs  
🗑
show Contain many acid sugar molecules, get entangled in each other and trap water, varying fluidity, fx like sponges. Examples: Chondroitan sulfate, Keratan sulfate and HA  
🗑
show Provide support. Collagen (strong and provide consistency and support for the tissues - they bind cells together) and Elastic (resiliant and stretchable found where additional elasticity is required i.e. in skin, blood vessels and lungs)  
🗑
Cells   show
🗑
show Includes Loose and Dense connective tissue  
🗑
Loose Connective Tissue   show
🗑
show Gel like structure with 3 fiber types, widely distributed under epithelia, packages organs/capilaries, GS is semi fluid/gelatinous (HA), fluid resovior  
🗑
show Gel like matrix w/ 3 fiber types. Many closely packed adipocytes (fat cells). Focuses on storing energy for future use  
🗑
Adipocytes   show
🗑
show contains closely packed bundles of collagen, have few cells other than fibroblasts, poorly vascularized  
🗑
Dense Regular Connective tissue   show
🗑
show major fiber is collagen, fibers randomly arranged, some elastin is present (resiliency), i.e. dermis of the skin and fiberous capules of organs and joints  
🗑
Cartilage (General)   show
🗑
show protiens containing sugar molecules - charged polysaccharides. stick out from the protein core like bristles on bottlebrush. They intertwine, - charges attract and hold water, forming a fluid matrix w/ varied consistency. Sponge. ie. HA  
🗑
show contains up to 80% water (due to GAGs i.e. HA and chondroitin), enables cartilage to rebound, most structures are covered by perichondrium & matrix is heavily invested with collagen fibers for strength and sometimes elastic fibers of resiliency  
🗑
show a dense irrecular connective tissue capsule, that surrounds most cartilage structures (i.e. like the bone is surrounded by a periosteum). Nutrients diffuse via perichondrium  
🗑
show the immature form of a cell that is responsible for secreting the particular extracellular matrix > connective tissue proper  
🗑
Chrondoblasts   show
🗑
Osteoblasts   show
🗑
show the immature form of a cell that is responsible for secreting the particular extracellular matrix > blood  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
