epithelium is found on _____; cells are _____ ______, with ______intercelluar substance between them
surfaces
closely adherent
minimum
some organs are predominately epithelial- ____ ____ and ____
liver
kidney
pancreas
____ and _____ have similar charactersics, and there therefore classified as epithelial.
mesothelium and endothelium
connective tissue is _____ and ____
ubiquitous and binding
solid and fluid forms of CT ranging from ____ to ____ and its derivatives
bone to blood
our main concern is with the solid type of CT with a ___ ____ ____
high fibre component
components of CT, basically an _____ ____ in which cells are interspersed
amorphous (jelly-like) matrix
most dense CT contains fibres of ___ ___ and ____
collagen
elastic
reticular
collagen connective tissue characteristics
white, stong, does not stretch
elastic connective tissue characteristics
yellow, thinner than collagen, branch and unite
reticular connective tissue characteristics
very thin fibers, network btwn cells (microscopic skeleton for organs)
what are the two types of connective tissue
Areolar CT and Dense CT
characterisitcs of Areolar CT
loosley arranged, mobility
collagen and elastic fibers
supportive function
found around many body structures
characteristics of dense CT
mainly of tough white fibrous tissue
has regular arrangement
non-elastic
densley packed fibers
eg tendon
what are the two types of fascia
superficial
deep
superficial fascia characteristics
aka-\ subq or hypodermis
cobweb of areolar
filler btwn skin and underlying structures
site for injections and infections
adipose tissue accumulates here
deep fascia characteristics
beneath superficial fascia
surrounds and breaks muscles into groups
may be an attachment for some muscles
may be modified: retinaculum
not permeable, pus cannot spread here
define cartilage
gel like matrix (hyaluronic acid and protoglycans)
spaces in matrix- lacunae, chondrocytes found in them
may be surrounded by perichondrium
what are the three types of cartilage
hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage
characteristics of hyaline cartilage
bluish/white, translucent
predominately matrix or ground substance
no perichondrium
characteristics of elastic cartilage
many elastic fibers in the matrix
yellow
eg epiglottis, auricle
characteristics of fibrocartilage
many collagen fibers
can withstand strong forces
always associated with dense CT
eg intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis
