|
How vascular is Dense Irregular CT?
|
Somewhat Vascular
|
|
|
How vascular is Dense Irregular CT?
|
Avascular
|
|
|
How vascular is Adipose CT?
|
Highly Vascular
|
|
|
How vascular is Reticular CT?
|
Somewhat vascular: depends on location...
|
|
|
Where is Loose or Areolar CT found?
|
Areas where skin is deep to loose.
|
|
|
Where is Dense Irregular CT found?
|
In the dermis of your skin...below epidermis.
|
|
|
Where is Dense Regular CT found?
|
In tendons and ligaments.
|
|
|
Where is Adipose CT found?
|
Breast, hips and belly.
|
|
|
Where is Reticular CT found?
|
Liver, spleen, lymph nodes.
|
|
|
How much Ground Substance is there in Loose or Areolar CT?
|
A LOT!
|
|
|
How much Ground Substance is there in Dense Irregular CT?
|
Not a lot...very dense with collagen fibers going everywhere.
|
|
|
How much Ground Substance is there in Dense Regular CT?
|
Very little...fibers run in the same direction, resisting force all the same way.
|
|
|
What does Loose or Areolar CT do?
|
Connects skin to deep to deep tissues.
|
|
|
How is Dense Irregular CT found on the body?
|
It binds tight skin to bones, on the palms of our hands...by our fingers.
|
|
|
What is a tendon?
|
Muscles to Bone
|
|
|
What is a ligament?
|
Bone to Bone
|
|
|
What is bad about Dense Regular CT?
|
It doesn't heal quickly because it is avascular, there is no blood flow to heal broken ligaments and tendons.
|
|
|
What is Dense Regular CT sometimes called?
|
White Connective Tissue
|
|
|
What are the functions of Adipose tissue?
|
Padding, insulation, and energy storage.
|
|
|

2. Elastic Cartilage CT 3. Fibrocartilage CT 4. Bone CT |
|
|
What is similar about all of the Structural CTs besides the Bone CT?
|
They are all low vascular.
|
|
|
What does Hyaline Cartilage CT look like?
|
It is very smooth and glassy looking but it does NOT break.
|
|
|
What does Elastic Cartilage look like?
|
It looks like Hyaline Cartilage CT but it has a dingy and dirty look.
|
|
|
What is special about fibrocartilage?
|
It has extra additional collagen added to matrix. Hence the name "fibro" (fiber) cartillage
