Mesenchyme
Location:

Back 4

Primarily in Embryo.

Hint 4

nursery rhyme, mesenchyme.

Front 5

Areolar
Function:

Hint 5

mother-like

Front 6

Areolar
Location:

Back 6

Widely distributed through epithelia of body e.g. Forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds capillaries

Front 7

Adipose
Function:

Back 7

Provides reserve fuel; insulates against heat loss; supports and protects organs

Hint 7

father-like

Front 8

Adipose
Location:

Back 8

under Skin; around Kidneys and Eyeballs; within Abdomen; in Breasts

Hint 8

BEAKS

Front 9

Reticular
Function:

Back 9

Forms a soft internal skeleton (soma) that supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells & macrophages

Hint 9

gay-like

Front 10

Reticular
Location:

Back 10

Lymphnoid Organs
1. Lymph nodes
2. Bone marrow
3. Spleen

Hint 10

LBS

Front 11

Dense Regular
Function:

Back 11

Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.

Hint 11

meat-head

Front 12

Dense Regular
Location:

Back 12

1. Tendons
2. most Ligaments
3. Aponeuroses

Hint 12

TLA

Front 13

Dense Irregular
Function:

Back 13

Able to withstand tension extracted in many directions; provides structural strength

Hint 13

ultimate meat-head

Front 14

Dense Irregular
Location:

Back 14

1. Dermis of skin
2. Submucosa of Digestive Tract
3. Fibrous capsules of organs and joints

Hint 14

DSF

Front 15

Hyaline
Function:

Back 15

Supports and reinforces; Has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress

Hint 15

chair

Front 16

Hyaline
Location:

Back 16

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.

Hint 16

JRNTL

Front 17

Elastic
Function:

Back 17

Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility.

Front 18

Elastic
Location:

Back 18

Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis

Front 19

Fibrocartilage
Function:

Back 19

Tensile stress with the ability to absorb compressive shock.

Front 20

Fibrocartilage
Location:

Back 20

Intervertebral Discs; Public Symphsis; Discs of Knee Joint

Hint 20

IPD

Front 21

Bone
Function:

Back 21

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)

Front 22

Bone
Location:

Back 22

Bones

Front 23

Blood
Function:

Back 23

Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances.

Front 24
