connective tissue
function: provides body with support and structure, connects structures together, stores energy, participates in immune response
mesenchyme
all connective tissue develops from the same embryonic tissue
extracellular matrix and cells
what is connective tissue made up of
ground substances and fibers
what is extracellular matrix made up of
what connective tissue is made up of
consists of cells, ground substances and fiber
elastic fiber
made for felxibility
reticular fiber
made for skeletal structure
collagen fibers
made for strength and structure
connective tissue proper have blood supply?
yes; vascular
fibroblast
immature cells that build protein fibers
loose connective tissue
holds organs in place and cushions tissues
areolar tissue
packing material to bind, support and cushion different organs or tissues
where areolar is found
in dermis and hypodermis, lining mucous membranes and digestive, respiratory
adipose tissue
insulation, protection, and energy storage
triglycerides
adipose tissue contains large amounts of this
where adipose tissue is found
packed around internal organs; the liver and intestines in abdomen
reticular tissue
support network for soft organs
where reticular tissue is found
lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils
dense connective tissue
provides high strength for resistance and pulling forces
dense regular tissue
withstand pulling forces
what kind of tissue run all together in the same direction, like rope
dense regular
what dense regular tissue is found
in tendons, ligaments, and muscle tendons
dense irregular tissue
withstand forces pulling multiple directions
what kind of tissue runs in all difference ways
dense irregular
where is dense irregular found
in dermis of skin
elastic tissue
made for more flexible and to stretch and recoil
what kins of tissues is made of elastic fibers
elastic tissue
where is elastic tissue found
in the lining of large arteries- like heart arteries
does cartilage have blood or nerve supply?
avascular and lacks nerve supply
chondroblast
cartilage builders; immature cells
chondrocytes
cartilage cells; mature cells
what is the most abundant cartilage
hyaline cartilage
hyaline cartilage
reduces friction between boney surfaces
where is hyaline cartilage located
at the end of bones, tip of nose
elastic cartilage
provides structure/ lots of flexibility; made up of elastic fibers
where is elastic cartilage located
in the ear
fibro cartilage
withstand compression force; strongest of all 3; made of think collagen fibers
where is fibrocartilage located
the disc pads between each bone of body
is bone have blood or nerve supply?
highly vascular and innervated
bone tissue
provides more strength and less flexibility
osteoblast
bone building cells; immature cells
osteocytes
bone cells; mature cells
blood tissue
is made up of extracellular matrix- blood plasma
erythrocytes
red blood cells that transfer oxygen and remove CO2
leukocytes
white blood cells that are immune responsive
platelets
cell fragments that assist with blood clotting
muscle tissue
specialized for contraction, movement and shorten to exert force
is muscle tissue have blood or nerve supply?
yes vascular and innervated
skeletal muscle
voluntarily control, tell it to contract
what attaches to the bones and allows movement
skeletal muscles
how many nuclei does skeletal muscles have?
more than one nuclei in one cell
cardiac muscle
not voluntarily, and pumps blood in and out of the heart
how many nuclei are found in cardiac muscle
1-2 nuclei per cell
smooth muscle
not voluntarily; moves substances throughout the body
where is smooth muscle located
within hollow structures like intestines, blood vessels
nervous tissue
regulates and controls body functions
neurons
generate/contract nerve pulses
neuroglial (glial cells)
support/nourish neurons
regeneration
replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue of the same kind of tissue
good regeneration types of tissues
epithelial tissue, bone, areolar connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, and blood
moderate regeneration tissues
smooth muscle, dense irregular connective tissue
weak regeneration tissues
skeletal muscle, cartilage; cardiac muscle and nervous tissue
fibrosis
replaces tissue with dense fiber tissue
Simple squamous function
Allows materials pass by diffusion or filtration
Simple squamous located
Air sacs of lungs, linings of heart, blood vessels
Simple cuboidal function
Secretion and absorption
Simple cuboidal located
In glands pancreas, salivary glands and liver
Simple columnar function
Absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes, etc
Simple columnar located
Gastrointestinal tract including stomach, intestines
Pseudostratified columnar function
Secrete substances particularly mucus
Pseudostratified columnar located
Upper respiratory tract, ducts of large glands
Transitional function
Can stretch out or relax
Transitional located
Lines of uterus and bladder
Stratified squamous function
Protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
