What are 4 characterstics on CT?
|
connective tissue proper
cartilage bone blood |
|
|
What are 4 functions of connective tissue?
|
binding/support
protection insulation transportation |
|
|
What are the 3 main elements of CT?
|
ground substance, fibers, cells in all classes come from mesenchyme
|
|
|
this element fills the space between the cells?
|
ground sub
|
|
|
this element provides support and there are three kind...what are they?
|
fiber:collagen, elastic,reticular
|
|
|
this fiber forms thick bundles, high tensile strength(pull), stronger than steel
|
collagen
|
|
|
this fiber is long thin branching stretchable made of elastin
|
elastic
|
|
|
this fiber has fine network of collage fibers,surrond small bv,many in basement membrane,found in lymphatic system
|
reticular
|
|
|
these cells are actively mitotic
|
blast
|
|
|
these cells can revert back to blast cells to regenerate the matrix
|
cyte
|
|
|
what does each blast make?
fibroblast chrondoblast osteoblast hematopoietic stem cell |
connective tissue proper
cartilage bone deals with blood |
|
|
What are the two types of CT?
|
loose connective tissue
dense connective tissue |
|
|
Areolar is a type of ____ CT tissue?
|
loose connective tissue
|
|
|
this connective tissue has a gel-matrix with WBC and all 3 fibers, cushions and immunity
|
areolar
|
|
|
this connective tissue has a gel-like matrix w/ fat cells
|
adipose
|
|
|
this CT has a gel-like matrix with reticular fibers,support WBC's, mast cells, and marcrophages
|
reticular
|
|
|
this CT has closely packed collagen and run parrallel to direction of pull, very resisitant
|
dense regular- forms tendons, forms ligaments
|
|
|
this CT has collagen fibers much thicker and arranged irregularly, found where tension exerted from different directions
|
dense irregular-dermis,fibrous joint capsule,GI tract
|
|
|
a class of CT that is tough, avascular,not innervated, 80% water
|
cartilage
|
|
|
3 types of cartilage are?
|
hyaline,elastic,fibrocartilage
|
|
|
this cartilage is most abundant, blue white glassy, contains lots of collage fibers, found at tip of nose,connects ribs to sternum,in trachea and larynx
|
hyaline
|
|
|
this type of cartilage has more elastin fibers, found in structures that bend easily,ear,epiglottis
|
elastic
|
|
|
this type of cartilage is less firm, absorps shock,resists tension,forms the invertebral discs,
|
fibrocartilage
|
