Q

Reticular connective tissue

A
  • matrix are highly branched and networked
    -provides a support framework for soft glandular organs like the spleen and liver
23
Q

What are the main cells found in reticular tissue

A

fibroblasts and fixed macrophages

24
Q

Dense regular connective tissues form what

A

form tendons, which connect muscle to bone, and the ligaments, which connect bone to bone

25
what makes up the matrix of dense connective tissue
mostly collagen with some elastic fibers, in a tough ground substance
26
why does the rigidity of the matrix make tendons and ligament damage hard to heal
the dense regular connective tissue is mostly avascular
27
Dense irregular connective tissue forms what
the skin dermis and the coverings of bones
28
The cells and irregular connective tissue matrix composition are similar to what
dense regular connective tissue but are not as rigidly organized
29
having a disorganized irregular connective tissue matrix allows for what
dense irregular connective tissue to receive stress from any direction without damage
30
Where are elastic connective tissue is found
it is found in areas that must endure a lifetime of stretching and recoiling without damage
31
what are examples of elastic connective tissue
walls of the large blood vessels, mesentery, and in the respiratory passagesways
32
the matrix of elastic connective tissues contain
mostly elastic fibers, with some collagen
33
blood -what type of tissue -function -composition
-liquid connective tissue that moves water and solutes through the body -made up of red blood cells. white blood cells, and platelet cell fragments
34
Bloods matrix is composed of what
liquid plasma
35
when are fibers in blood generally seen
only during clotting
36
what forms the main body structural support system
bone
37
what are the cells of bone tissue
-osteocytes -osteoblasts -osteoclast
38
what is the matrix of bone forms by
collagen fibers embedded within calcium and phosphate salt rings
39
Cartilage -vascular or avasular
- avascular and relies on diffusion from vascular tissues for its nutrient and oxygen supply
40
the cartilage matrix contains
extensive proteoglycans
41
proteoglycans
proteins with attached polysaccarides
42
Hyaline cartilage -found where -examples
-found in areas of the body that require flexible support -examples: ribs, sternum, and nasal septum
43
Cartilage cells
Chondrocytes and are easy to see in a micrograph and look like grapes
44
the matrix of hyaline cartilage
has a glassy appearance due to the abundance of very thine fine collagen fibers associated with proteoglycans
45
Fibrous cartilage
-is a tough cartilage that serves as a shock absorber for high stress areas -example: intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis
46
Fibrous cartilage matrix contains what
many large thick collagen fibers
47
Elastic cartilage vs hyaline cartilage flexibility
Elastic cartilage exhibits a greater degree of flexibility
48
Elastic cartilage matrix
has a large amount of elastic fibers
49
membranes are composed of
epithelial tissue and underlying connective tissue
50
what are the 4 types of membranes
-mucous -serous -cutaneous -synovial
51
mucous membrane
-contains cells that release mucus to trap particles and decrease friction -found in the mouth, anus, vagina, and nasal passage
52
Serous membrane
- very delicate and secrete water serous fluid -it lines the abdomen and thorax and cover the internal organs -the pleural membrane of the lung, pericardial membrane of the heart, and peritoneal membrane of the abdomen
53
Cutaneous membrane
-thicker, drier, tougher, and more waterproof membranes - the skin is an example
54
Synovial membrane
-entirely connective tissue and they secrete synovial fluid - the line mobile joint cavities to form a joint capsule, but they do not directly cover the bone surface
