connective tissue develops from what?
|
undifferentiated mesenchyme
|
|
list different fixed connective tissue cell types and their functions
|
fibroblasts-make fibers
chondroblasts-make cartilage osteoblasts-make bone hemocytoblasts-make blood |
|
list some types of wandering connective tissue cell types
|
white blood cells
macrophages-eats debris and pathogens mast cells- makes heparin and histamine |
|
extracellular matrix contains
|
ground substance-undifferentiated/fills space
fibers(by fibroblasts) in the ground substance |
|
3 kinds of fibers in the ground substance
|
collagen, elastic, reticular
|
|
type of fiber that gives tissue tensile strength
|
collagen
|
|
gives tissue stretch and recoil
|
elastic fibers
|
|
delicate network of fibers

reticular fibers
|
|
list the 5 types of connective tissue proper
|
areolar, adipose, reticular, fibrous, elastic
|
|
tissue found beneath most epithelial tissue
|
areolar
|
|
areolar tissue acound muscles is called
|
fascia
|
|
tissue specialized for insulation, nutrient reserve, and protection
|
adipose tissue
|
|
tissue containing many adipose cells
|
adipose tissue
|
|
tissue forming the 'skeleton' of large organs.
e.g. liver and spleen |
reticular connective tissue
|
|
tissue with loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers
|
areolar tissue
|
|
tissue with the highest concentration of collagen fibers
|
fibrous connective tissue
|
|
tissue that is very strong and flexible, but heals poorly and has poor blood supply
|
fibrous connective tissue
|
|
tendons and ligaments are examples of what kind of tissue?
|
fibrous connective tissue
|
