Question
Answer

🗑
type of gland whose secretions have parts of secretory cells. The glands that lose small portions of their glandular cell bodies during secretion   show
🗑

🗑
show Macrophages or wandering cells  
🗑
The most common type of fixed cell in connective tissue. It produces fibers by secreting proteins into the extracellular matrix of the connective tissues   show
🗑
Large phagocytic cell (eat solid items). Originated from white blood cells. Usually attached to fibers, but can detach and move about. Specialized to carry on the phagocytosis. Clear foreign objects from tissues, fight against infection.   show
🗑
show Mast Cell  
🗑
show Heparin  
🗑
a substance that promotes some of the reactions associated with inflammation and allergies. Released by Mast Cells   show
🗑
show collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers.  
🗑
Most abundant types of fibroblasts   show
🗑
Protein in the white fibers of the connective tissues and in the bone matrix. The major structural protein of the body   show
🗑
thick threads of the protein collagen. fibers grouped in long, parallel bundles; flexible but only slightly elastic. great tensile strength (can resist pulling force). important components of body parts that hold structures together:ligaments/tendons   show
🗑
connects bones to bones   show
🗑
connect muscles to bone   show
🗑
Tissue that have abundant collagenous fibers. tissue appears white; sometimes called white fibers   show
🗑
has sparse or limited collagenous fibers.   show
🗑
composed of springlike protein elastin. fibers branch, forming complex networks in tissues. weaker than coll fibers, but elastic. fibers are common in stretchy body parts:vocal cords, air passage. yellow fibers. bundles of microfibrils embedded in elastin   show
🗑
protein that comprises the yellow, elastic fibers of connective tissue   show
🗑
are thin collagenous fibers. highly branched and form delicate supporting networks in tissues.   show
🗑
show connective tissue proper and specialized connective tissues  
🗑
includes loose connective tissue (areolar, adipose, reticular) and dense connective tissue (dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic)   show
🗑
show Specialized connective tissues  
🗑
forms delicate, thin membranes. fibroblasts cells are located distance apart, separated be a gel-like ground substance that contains many coll fibers and elastic fibers. binds organs, holds tissue fluid. beneath skin, btw muscle, beneath epithelial tissue   show
🗑
protects, insulates, and stores fat. beneath skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, on surface of heart; cushion joints and some organs (kidneys). insulates beneath the skin, and stores energy in fat molecules.   show
🗑
developed when adipocytes store fat in droplets in their cytoplasm. as they accumulate fat, they enlarge, and the nuclei are pushed to the side. adipocytes become so abundant that they crowd out other cell, forming this tissue   show
