Connective Tissue Mircoquiz 11/06/15

Front 1

What characteristics do all connective tissues share in common?

Back 1

They all develop from mesenchyme.

Front 2

Identify the functions of connective tissues.

Back 2

Connective tissue establishes framework of the body, transports fluids throughout the body, stores energy, and protects/defends the body.

Front 3

Identify at least 2 factors that affect the consistency of a connective tissue.

Back 3

Ground Substance (Water and Protein) and Fiber

Front 4

What is the extracellular matrix of connective tissue made up of?

Back 4

Ground Substance and Fiber

Front 5

Why does it take tendons and ligaments longer to heal than many bone injuries?

Back 5

There isn’t as much blood flow in these areas so the areas are unable to heal quickly and need more time to heal.

Front 6

. What substances make up the rigid matrix of bone?

Back 6

Ground Substances, salts, and Fiber

Front 7

What are the three types of cartilage? Where are they located in the body?

Back 7

Hyaline Cartilage, Fibrocartilage, Elastic Cartilage

Joints between bones, ears, and Nose

Front 8

transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste through the body by traveling through vessels called arteries and veins

Back 8

Blood

Front 9

s a type of dense connective tissue that connects muscles to bones and connects bone to bone.

Back 9

Tendons and Liagments

Front 10

is a type of connective tissue that aids in the formation of red and white blood cells. This tissue is found in the spleen and the marrow.

Back 10

Reticular

Front 11

a type of connective tissue with one of the hardest extracellular matrixes that forms a protective structure used for muscle attachment. This type of connective tissue is formed by a cell known as an osteocyte.

Back 11

Bone

Front 12

is a type of loose connective tissue that separates the cells of the body from the blood stream. It is a “go-between” for nutrients and wastes to leave and enter the bloodstream on their way to and from the bodies’ cells.

Back 12

Lymphoid Tissue

Front 13

a type of connective tissue also known as fat. Its purpose is to store excess nutrients and fats as energy. It also serves as a type of insulation for the body.

Back 13

Adipose

Front 14

a semi-solid connective tissue that is used as both a protective and supportive structure within the body. This particular type of connective tissue can be found in the nose, ears, ribs, and vertebral disks

Back 14

Cartilage

Front 15

a type of dense connective tissue with irregularly arranged fibers that provides strength where tension is exerted in various directions such as in the dermis.

Back 15

Dense Irregular

Front 16

Where is connective tissue found?

Back 16

Throughout the entire body

Front 17

What are the functions of connective tissue?

Back 17

Connective tissue establishes framework of the body, transports fluids throughout the body, stores energy, and protects the body

Front 18

All connective tissues were derived from a common embryonic tissue. What is the name of the embryonic cells?

Back 18

Mesenchyme

Front 19

How are connective tissue classified?

Back 19

Ordinary(Proper) vs. Special

Loose vs. Dense

Regular Vs. Irregular

Front 20

What purpose if any do fibers like collagen and elastin provide in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues?

Back 20

collagen – strengthelastin- flexibility

Front 21

contains cells surrounded by a fluid matrix that transports substances

Back 21

blood

Front 22

contains cells surrounded by a hard matrix that supports and protects

Back 22

Bone

Front 23

contains cells that reduce friction and allow flexibility at joints

Back 23

Cartilage

Front 24

contains cells that stores energy, insulates the body and cushions organs

Back 24

Adipose

Front 25

The human body is comprised of four basic tissue types. NAME THEM

Back 25

Connective, Epithelial, Muscular, and Nervous

Front 26

“Organized combinations of the four basic tissue types” is defined as

Back 26

organs

Front 27

The process of hematopoiesis falls to connective tissue. What is haemopoiesis?

Back 27

The formation of blood cells

Front 28

The process of hematopoiesis falls to connective tissue. Where does hematopoiesis occur?

Back 28

occurs in the yolk sack, then in the liver, and lastly in the bone marrow.

Front 29

T o F

All blood vessels are embedded in connective tissue.

Back 29

True

Front 30

T o F

Blood is really just a mobile faction of connective tissue.

Back 30

True

Front 31

List the SEVEN (7) vital functions that connective tissue serve.

Back 31

1) To join together the other tissues of the body (tendons and ligaments)

2) Support (trachea, bones)

3) Protect underlying organs (skull)

4) Transport (blood)

5) Nutritive Functions (blood)

6) Immune Function (lymphocytes/white blood cells)

7) Storage sites & insulation (Fat tissue)

Chondroblasts are specialized relatives of fibroblasts, which make…

Back 32

Cartilage

Front 33

Osteoblasts are specialized relatives of fibroblasts, which make

Back 33

Bone

Front 34

These connective tissue cells are indistinguishable from fibroblasts, but have the ability to differentiate along different routes.

Back 34

Macrophages

Front 35

A SCAR of formed from __?__ , which is deposited by fibroblasts to replace damaged tissue.
