compare the matrix of cartilage with that of bone |
cartilage matrix has matrix of collagen and elastic fibers while bone matrix has calcium, inorganic salts |
|
identify the fiber type that gives connective tissue great tensile strength |
collagen fibers |
|
how is hyaline cartilage different from elastic or fibrocartilage |
fibers usually not visible |
|
what tissue has lacunae, calcium salts and blood vessels |
osseous tissue |
|
name the blast cell for blood production |
hemocytoblast |
|
most predominant organelles in goblet cells and other glandular epithelium |
rough ER, golgi complex and secretory vessels |
|
describe simple columnar epithelium that forms absorptive cells of digestive tract |
single layer of tall closely packed cells, columnar cells are most associated with absorption and secretion because of dense microvilli on apical surface and tubular glands that secrete mucus, also have cilia which help move substances |
|
where is pseudo stratified columnar epithelium found |
trachea, most of upper respiratory tract |
|
what type of epithelium forms the lining of serous membranes |
simple squamous |
|
general composition of connective tissue |
ground substance and fibers |
|
what cell types are found in areolar connective tissue |
mast cells and some white blood cell |
|
name the type of tissue that maintains shape of ear |
elastic cartilage |
|
what type of gland secretes its product directly into the blood rather than through ducts |
endocrine gland |
|
what type of epithelium appears to have two or three layers of cells but are all in contact with basement membrane |
psedostratfied columnar |
|
many layerd epithelium with cuboidal basal cells and flat cells at surface |
stratified squamous |
|
what causes edema |
excess fluid trapped in body tissues |
|
what structure prevents heart muscles from separating |
demosomes, a type of junction |
|
type of tissue that lines arteries veins and lympatics |
smooth |
|
muscle tissue |
cardiac smoothh and skeletal, gives muscle ability to contract and have mobility |
|
list steps of tissue repair |
inflammation, organization and regeneration |
|
three main components of connective tissue |
ground substance, fibers and cells |
|
describe adipose tissue |
fat tissue, has great nutrient storing ability, insulation and energy storage |
|
type of tissue that are shock absorbing between vertebrae |
fibrocartilage |
|
two types of fat |
visceral(surrounding organs) and subcutaneous (beneath skin) |
|
type of connective tissue tendons ligaments composed of |
dense regular |
|
what type tissue are macrophages found |
loose connective tiissue, areolar |
|
epithelial membrane that lines closed ventral cavities |
serous membrane |
|
membrane that lines body cavities open to exterior |
mucous |
|
where is stratified squamous found |
lining of mouth |
|
what lines digestive and respiratory tracts |
mucous |
|
what lines blood vessels and hearrt |
endothelium |
|
order of epidermal layers |
stratum corneum, granulosum, spinosum, basale |
|
types of skin cancer and severity |
squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, melanoma(most dangerous) |
|
what are the most abundant cells of epidermis |
keratinocytes |
|
protein found in epidermis responsible for toughening skin |
keratin |
