|
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 |
