Adipocytes

________ are cells that are found surrounding internal organs and under the skin, and they are responsible for the formation of a fatty connective tissue known as adipose.

2

Spongy bone

________ has a honeycomb- like structure that is both lightweight and strong, and it is in these huge open areas where bone marrow may be found.

New cards
3

Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nerve tissue

are the four primary forms of tissue, each of which originates from a distinct cell layer in the early embryo.

New cards
4

Connective tissues

include blood, bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments among other things.

New cards
5

White matter

Contains a lengthy nerve that is wire-like and insulated.

New cards
6

Gray matter

Contains both the bodies of nerve cells and support cells.

New cards
7

Nerve tissue

A view of nerve tissue taken using a microscope, displaying the glial cells that are there to support the nerve cells (neurons).

New cards
8

Elastic cartilage

Tough yet flexible; The most common

New cards
9

Chondrocytes

which are spherical cells, can be seen in a sample of cartilage taken from the epiglottis.

New cards
10

Elastic cartilage

These cells are embedded in fibers of elastin, which give the cartilage its lightness and flexibility.

New cards
11

Loose connective tissue

A portion of the connective tissue in the body is made up of cells that are only loosely encased in the fibers.

New cards
12

nuclei

The _ of fibroblast cells can be observed here as black dots.

New cards
13

Connective dermal tissue

Connects dermis of skin to underlying organs

New cards
14

Skeletal muscle tissue

Connective tissue that is white in color surrounds each bundle of contractive filaments, which can be seen here in the form of stripes.

New cards
15

Dense connective tissue

This sturdy and dense tissue is present in the lower layer of the epidermis, as well as in the ligaments and tendons (dermis).

New cards
16

Dermis

Lower layer of skin

New cards
17

Sweat gland

Part of epithelial tissue Of skin

New cards
18

Adipose tissue

Adipocytes are cells that are found surrounding internal organs and under the skin, and they are responsible for the formation of a fatty connective tissue known as adipose.

New cards
19

Fat tissue

Beneath dermis layer Of skin

New cards
20

Smooth muscular tissue

is characterized by its long fibers, which are responsible for involuntary contractions.
