HEEBB
|
|
Mesenchyme
Function: |
Gives rises to all other connective tissues.
|
|
|
Mesenchyme
Location: |
Primarily in Embryo.
|
nursery rhyme, mesenchyme.
|
|
Areolar
Function: |
Wraps and cusions organs; its macrophages phagocytize baceria; Plays important role in inflammation; Holds & Conveys tissue fluids
|
mother-like
|
|
Areolar
Location: |
Widely distributed through epithelia of body e.g. Forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds capillaries
|
|
|
Adipose
Function: |
Provides reserve fuel; insulates against heat loss; supports and protects organs
|
father-like
|
|
Adipose
Location: |
under Skin; around Kidneys and Eyeballs; within Abdomen; in Breasts
|
BEAKS
|
|
Reticular
Function: |
Forms a soft internal skeleton (soma) that supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells & macrophages
|
gay-like
|
|
Reticular
Location: |
Lymphnoid Organs
1. Lymph nodes 2. Bone marrow 3. Spleen |
LBS
|
|
Dense Regular
Function: |
Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.
|
meat-head
|
|
Dense Regular
Location: |
1. Tendons
2. most Ligaments 3. Aponeuroses |
TLA
|
|
Dense Irregular
Function: |
Able to withstand tension extracted in many directions; provides structural strength
|
ultimate meat-head
|
|
Dense Irregular
Location: |
1. Dermis of skin
2. Submucosa of Digestive Tract 3. Fibrous capsules of organs and joints |
DSF
|
|
Hyaline
Function: |
Supports and reinforces; Has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress
|
chair
|
|
Hyaline
Location: |
Forms most of the embryotic skeleton; covers the ends of Long Bones in Joint Cavities; forms Costal Cartilages of Ribs; Cartilages of the Nose, Trachea, and Larynx.
|
JRNTL
|
|
Elastic
Function: |
Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility.
|
|
|
Elastic
Location: |
Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis
|
|
|
Fibrocartilage
Function: |
Tensile stress with the ability to absorb compressive shock.
|
|
|
Fibrocartilage
Location: |
Intervertebral Discs; Public Symphsis; Discs of Knee Joint
|
IPD
|
|
Bone
Function: |
Bone supports and protects (by enclosing); Provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)
|
|
|
Bone
Location: |
Bones
|
|
|
Blood
Function: |
Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances.
|
|
|
Blood
Location: |
Contained within blood vessels
