🗑
fibroblasts produce ______ in connective tissue   3 types of fibers  
🗑
thick threads of collagen, the body's main structural protein, great tensile strength and flexible----slightly elastic, found in ligaments and tendons   collagen fibers  
🗑
composed of elastin protein; branching, can stretch and return to original shape, not as strong as collagen fibers, found in vocal cords, respiratory air passages   elastic (yellow) fibers  
🗑
thin, branching fibers of collagen, form delicate supporting networks, and found in the spleen and liver   reticular fibers  
🗑
connective tissue proper has two major categories:   loose and dense connective tissues  
🗑
fewer collagen fibers than dense tissues types: areolar, adipose, reticular   loose connective tissues  
🗑
contain abundant collagen fibers dense regular, dense irregular, elastic   dense connective tissue  
🗑
specialized connective tissues include:   cartilage, bone, and blood  
🗑
forms thin, delicate membranes, cells are mainly fibroblasts, in a gel-like ground substance, collagenous and elastic fibers, in subcutaneous layer, beneath most epithelia, where it nourishes nearby epithelial cells   areolar  
🗑
adipocytes store fat; push their nuclei to one side; crowd out other cell types; cushions and insulates; beneath skin (subcutaneous layer), behind eyeballs, around heart and kidneys, in spaces between muscles   adipose tissue (fat)  
🗑
composed of network of thin reticular fibers; supports wall of internal organs; walls of liver, spleen   reticular connective tissue  
🗑
closely packed connective tissues; fine network of elastic fibers; most cells are fibroblasts; very strong, withstands pulling; binds body parts together; tendons, ligaments, dermis; poor blood supply, slow to heal   dense regular connective tissue  
🗑
randomly organized, thick, interwoven collagenous fibers; can withstand tension exerted from different directions; dermis of skin; around skeletal muscles   dense irregular connective tissue  
🗑
abundant yellow elastic fibers, and some collagenous fibers; fibroblasts; attachment between bones of spinal column; walls of hollow organs, such as large arteries, airways; parts of heart; elastic quality, stretches   elastic connective tissue  
🗑
which of the following types of connective tissue consists of abundant collagen fibers oriented in one direction?   dense regular connective tissue  
🗑
a rigid, specialized connective tissue and provides support, framework, attachments   cartilage  
🗑
protection of underlying tissue, models for developing bone, matrix contains collagen in gel-like ground substance   cartilage  
🗑
(cartilage cells) in lacunae (chambers), surrounded by matrix that is in cartilage   chondrocytes  
🗑
lacks blood supply; heals slowly and is covered by _______ (connective tissue), which provides some nutrients to the cartilage   perichondrium  
🗑
3 types of cartilage:   hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage  
🗑
cartilage takes ______ to heal than bones because bones have a good blood supply   longer  
🗑
most common type of cartilage; fine collage fibers in matrix; ends of bones in joints, nose, respiratory passages, embryonic skeleton   hyaline  
🗑
flexible, due to elastic fibers in matrix; external ear, larynx   elastic  
🗑
very tough, due to many collagen fibers; shock absorber; intervertebral discs, pads (menisci) of knee, and pelvic girdle   fibrocartilage  
🗑
which type of cartilage can be found between the vertebrae?   fibrocartilage  
🗑
most rigid connective tissue; solid matrix, composed of mineral (Ca) salts and collagen, supports structures and protects vital structures   bones (osseous tissue)  
🗑
produces blood cells, stores and releases Ca, P; attachment sites for muscles; forms skeleton   bones  
🗑
bones contain _____ (bone cells) in lacunae   osteocytes  
🗑
two types of bones:   compact and spongy  
🗑
osteoblasts deposit in matrix in lamellae (layers); lamellae occur in rings around central canals   compact bone  
🗑
in a compact bone, osteocytes + matrix + central canal form cylindrical units called   osteons  
🗑
osteocytes send out processes into ________, and share blood supply in a compact bone   canaliculi  
🗑
are cemented together to form compact bone   osteons  
🗑
central canals contain blood vessels; bone is well-nourished, heals more quickly than cartilage   osteons  
🗑
makes up interior part of the bone; consists of bony plates containing osteocytes, with space between them for marrow   spongy bone  
🗑
spongy bone is _____ in weight than compact bone   lighter  
🗑
blood is formed elements (cells and fragments) suspended in fluid matrix called _____   plasma  
🗑
transport gases   red blood cells  
🗑
defend against infection   white blood cells  
🗑
help in blood clotting   platelets  
🗑
transports substances throughout the body   blood  
🗑
are sheets of cells   membranes  
🗑
