Question
Answer
show weight  
🗑
cells are farther apart than _______ cells by connective tissues   show
🗑
connective tissues contain abundant extracellular matrix between cells, consisting of   show
🗑
show fluid to solid  
🗑
categories of connective tissue:   show
🗑
most connective tissues have _____________, so are well-nourished   show
🗑
show divide  
🗑
show fixed cells; wandering cells  
🗑
connective tissues bind structures together and provide   show
🗑
show fibroblasts  
🗑
show macrophages  
🗑
show macrophages  
🗑
large cells, widely distributed, release heparin to prevent blood clotting, and release histamine, which causes inflammatory response   show
🗑
fibroblasts produce ______ in connective tissue   show
🗑
thick threads of collagen, the body's main structural protein, great tensile strength and flexible----slightly elastic, found in ligaments and tendons   show
🗑
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   show
🗑
show reticular fibers  
🗑
connective tissue proper has two major categories:   show
🗑
fewer collagen fibers than dense tissues types: areolar, adipose, reticular   show
🗑
contain abundant collagen fibers dense regular, dense irregular, elastic   show
🗑
specialized connective tissues include:   show
🗑
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   show
🗑
show adipose tissue (fat)  
🗑
composed of network of thin reticular fibers; supports wall of internal organs; walls of liver, spleen   show
🗑
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   show
🗑
randomly organized, thick, interwoven collagenous fibers; can withstand tension exerted from different directions; dermis of skin; around skeletal muscles   show
🗑
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   show
🗑
which of the following types of connective tissue consists of abundant collagen fibers oriented in one direction?   show
🗑
a rigid, specialized connective tissue and provides support, framework, attachments   show
🗑
protection of underlying tissue, models for developing bone, matrix contains collagen in gel-like ground substance   show
🗑
show chondrocytes  
🗑
show perichondrium  
🗑
show hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage  
🗑
cartilage takes ______ to heal than bones because bones have a good blood supply   show
🗑
show hyaline  
🗑
flexible, due to elastic fibers in matrix; external ear, larynx   show
🗑
show fibrocartilage  
🗑
show fibrocartilage  
🗑
most rigid connective tissue; solid matrix, composed of mineral (Ca) salts and collagen, supports structures and protects vital structures   show
🗑
show bones  
🗑
show osteocytes  
🗑
two types of bones:   show
🗑
osteoblasts deposit in matrix in lamellae (layers); lamellae occur in rings around central canals   show
🗑
show osteons  
🗑
show canaliculi  
🗑
show osteons  
🗑
central canals contain blood vessels; bone is well-nourished, heals more quickly than cartilage   show
🗑
show spongy bone  
🗑
show lighter  
🗑
show plasma  
🗑
show red blood cells  
🗑
show white blood cells  
🗑
show platelets  
🗑
transports substances throughout the body   show
🗑
show membranes  
🗑
are composed of epithelial and connective tissue, cover body surfaces and lines cavities   show
🗑
show serous membranes  
🗑
show lubrication  
🗑
line cavities and tubes that open to the outside of the body; lining of digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts; epithelium + areolar connective tissue; goblet cells secrete mucus   show
🗑
show cutaneous membranes  
🗑
show synovial membranes  
🗑
show muscle tissues  
🗑
show skeletal, cardiac, and smooth  
🗑
attached to bones, striated, voluntary; long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells; stimulated by nerve cells   show
🗑
show smooth muscle tissue  
🗑
only in the wall of the heart, branching cells, involuntary, striated, intercalated discs, specialized intercellular junctions   show
🗑
show 40%  
🗑
found in brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves   show
🗑
main cells, which are specialized for communication, via conduction of nerve impulses (sensory reception, motor control)   show
🗑
show neurons and neuroglia  
🗑
coordinate, integrate, and regular body functions; composed of cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon   show
🗑
show neuroglia  
🗑
