Question
Answer
connective tissue proper   con tissue that contains varied cell populations and fiber types surrounded by a syrupy ground substance  
🗑
fluid connective tissues   have distinctive populations of cells suspended in a watery matrix that contains dissolved proteins. the two types of fluid conn tissues are blood and lymph  
🗑
supporting connective tissues   have a less diverse cell population than connective tissue proper and a dense matrix with closely packed fibers. the two types are cartilage and bone  
🗑
types of connective tissue proper   fibroblasts, fibrocytes, macrophages, adipocytes, mesenchymal cells, melanocytes, mast cells, lymphocytes, and microphages  
🗑
3 types of fibers in connective tissue   collagen fibers, reticular fibers, and elastic fibers  
🗑
Embryonic connective tissue   the first connective tissue to appear in an embryo  
🗑
classifications of connective tissue proper   loose connective tissue or dense connective tissue  
🗑
types of loose connective tissue   areolar tissue, adipose tissue (white fat and brown fat), and reticular tissue.  
🗑
Dense connective tissue   most of this volume consists of fibers. two types are dense regular and dense irregular  
🗑
Blood and lymph   connective tissues that contain distinctive contain distinctive collections of cells in a fluid matrix  
🗑
plasma   the watery matrix of blood  
🗑
arteries   carry blood away from the heart and toward capillaries  
🗑
veins   return blood to the heart  
🗑
supporting connective tissues   cartilage and bone, because they support the rest of the body  
🗑
three types of cartilage   hyaline, elastic, fribrous  
🗑
chondrocytes   rely on diffusion through the avascular matrix to obtain nutrients  
🗑
cartilage   grows by two mechanisms: interstitial growth and appositional growth  
🗑
bone   consists of osteocytes, little ground substance, and a dense, mineralized matrix consisting of calcium salts and collagen fibers  
🗑
osteocytes   depend on diffusion through canaliculi for nutrient intake  
🗑
serous membranes   line the body's sealed internal cavities  
🗑
cutaneous membrane   aka skin, covers the body surface  
🗑
synovial membranes   form an incomplete lining within the cavities of synovial joints  
🗑
