Anatomy: Test One

Front 1

Describe the loose connective tissue Areolar. Where is it found?

Back 1

underlies epithelial tissuse, borders all other tissues in body

Front 2

Why is areolar a model connective tissue?

Back 2

properties shared by other CT
Support and binding other tissues, Holds body fluid, defends against infection, stores nutrients as fat

Front 3

Function and location of adipose.

Back 3

provides reserve fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs.
Kidneys, eyeballs, breasts, under skin in hypodermis

Front 4

Reticular Connective Tissue function and location.

Back 4

support diff cells, provide soft internal skeleton
Lymphoid organs

Front 5

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue function and location.

Back 5

able to withstand tension exerted in many directions, provides strength
dermis of the skin, submucosa of disgestive tract

Front 6

Elastic Connective Tissue function and location.

Back 6

allows recoil after stretching, maintains pulsatile flow of lood, recoil of lungs
found in walls or arteries, walls of bronchial tubes

Front 7

What are the characteristics of cartilage?

Back 7

firm, flexible tissue, no blood vessels, matrix 80 % water, cell type is chondrocyte

Front 8

hyaline cartilage description and function.

Back 8

supports and reinforces, cushioning, resists stress
forms embryonic skeleton, covers ends of long bones, forms cartilage of ribs, nose, trachea, and larynx

Back 9

maintains shape and structure but allows flexibility
