Chapter 4 Part 2

Front 1

Gland

Back 1

one or more cells that secretes an aqueous fluid called a secretion

Front 2

Endocrine Glands

Back 2

ductless glands that secrete hormones that travel through lymph or blood to their specific target organs

Front 3

Exocrine Glands

Back 3

Secretions are released onto body surface or cavities;

secrete products into ducts;

are more numerous that endocrine glands

Front 4

Merocrine glands

Back 4

secrete by exocytosis: Mucin, sweat, respiratory glands

Front 5

Holocrine

Back 5

accumulate products within then rupture: oil glands on skin

Front 6

Apocrine

Back 6

accumulate products within, but only apex ruptures: Armpit

Front 7

Connective Tissue Functions

Back 7

Binding;

And Supporting

Storing reserve fuel;

Protecting;

Insulating;

Transporting substances within the body

Bass Pit

Front 8

Connective Tissue Common characteristics

Back 8

Rich blood supply;

composed of many cells;

matrix of nonliving material between cells

Front 9

Ground Substance

Back 9

(matrix) contains fibers, assists in nutrient movement, amount of protein determines viscosity (liquid, gel-like, semi-solid, solid)

Front 10

Fibers

Back 10

Provide support and consist of collagen, elastic, and reticular

Front 11

Collagen

Back 11

very tough, provides high tensile strength

Front 12

Elastic

Back 12

Provide stretch and recoil

Front 13

Reticular

Back 13

Form fiber networks (squishy nets)

More stretchy then collagen, but less so than elastic

Front 14

Cells

Back 14

Create and maintain the ground substance (matrix)

Front 15

Immature

Back 15

blast

Front 16

Mature

Back 16

cyte

Front 17

Fibro

Back 17

Chondro/osteo

Front 18

Types of Connective Tissue

Back 18

Connective Tissue Proper, Cartilage, Bone, and Blood

Front 19

Types of connective tissue proper

Back 19

Loose areolar, loose adipose, loose reticular, dense irregular, dense regular

Front 20

Description of Loose Areolar

Back 20

gel-like matrix containing all three fiber types

Front 21

Description of loose adipose

Back 21

gel-like matrix, but very sparse; closely packed with fat cells, nuclei are pushed to side by fat cells

Front 22

Description of loose reticular

Back 22

Network of reticular fibers in a typical loose matrix, reticular cells lie on the network

Front 23

Description of Dense Regular

Back 23

Parallel collagen fibers, a few elastic fibers, major cell type is fibroblast

Front 24

Description of Dense Irregular

Back 24

Irregularly shaped collagen fibers, some elastic fibers, primary cell type is fibroblast

Front 25

Loose areolar Function

Back 25

wraps and cushions organs;
Macrophages phagocytize bacteria;
Plays a role in inflammation;
Holds and conveys tissue fluid

Front 26

Loose adipose Function

Back 26

Reserve food fuel;

Insulates against heat loss;

Supports and protects organs

Front 27

loose reticular function

Back 27

fibers form a soft internal skeleton that support other cells types

Front 28

Dense Regular Function

Back 28

Attaches muscles to bones or muscles;

bones to bones;

withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction

Front 29

Dense Irregular Function

Back 29

Withstands tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength

Front 30

Location of loose areolar

Back 30

Under epithelia;

Packages organs;

surrounds capillaries

Front 31

Loose adipose location

Back 31

subcutaneous tissue;

around kidneys and eyeballs;

abdomen;

breasts

Front 32

Loose reticular location

Back 32

Lymph nodes;

bone marrow;

spleen

Front 33

Dense Regular Location

Back 33

Tendons,

Ligaments,

aponeuroses

Front 34

Dense Irregular Location

Back 34

Fibrous capsules of organs and joints;

dermis of the skin;

submucosa of digestive tract
