Three major types of cartilage are found in the body: Hyaline Cartilage, Fibrocartilage, and ______

Three major types of cartilage are found in the body: Hyaline Cartilage, Fibrocartilage, and ______

Elastic cartilage

Mature Cartilage is

Avascular

There are 3 categories of dense connective tissue. These are

Dense Regular, Elastic, Dense Irregular

Adipose Connective Tissue

Is a highly vascularized loose connective tissue composed primarily of adipocytes

Loose connective tissue

Contains relatively fewer cells and proteins fibers than dense connective tissue; the protein fibers are sparse and irregularly arranged

Hyaline Cartilage functions is support and found in many areas of the body such as

Bronchi, larynx, most of the fetal skeleton, articular end of long bones, nose

Cardiac Muscle, has

Minimal capacity of regeneration, intercalated discs, one or two centrally located nuclei

Smooth Muscles have one centrally oval nucleus and are

Involuntary

The Integumentary System is a

a. Visual indicator of our physiology and health b. Covering of the body and consists of the skin and the accessory tissues

Distinct layers of the Integumentary System are

None of the above

The most important function of the skin is

Protection

What does calciferol hormone do?

Increase the production of calcium in your small intestine

The epidermis is the top layer of the skin, the lower layers are the

Dermis and subcutaneous layer

The epidermis is made of

Stratified Squamous epithelium

The epidermis develops from the ______ pf the embryo

Ectoderm

Thick skin

a. Contains all five layers of epidermal strata b. Contains sweat glands but no hair follicles of sebaceous glands

Constantly applying repeated pressure on your skin will stimulate that layer of skin to grow

Thicker

Some of the cells of the stratum Basale contain melanin proteins

True

The dermis is a thicker laye4r than the epidermis

True

All CT arises in the embryo from the

Mesoderm

The connective tissue properties

a. Composed mainly of non-living extracellular matrix that separate the cells of the tissue b. CT can be found between different tissue and organs c. Ranges from avascular to highly vascular

Reticular fibers are thicker but similar to collagen

False

Three types of fiber are found in Connective tissue matrix, they are

Elastic, collagen, reticular

Of the four main tissue types, which tissue is the main component of the synovial membrane

Connective tissue

Epithelial tissue is highly regenerative and non-innervated

False

The prognosis of an epithelial injury is

Very good

Epithelium have

Avascular

Area such as duct of sweat and mammary glands are protected by

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

An example of transitional epithelium is the

Urinary bladder

Transitional Epithelium is

Another form of stratified epithelium

Keratinized stratified epithelium occur on wet surfaces such as

Skin

The mouth is lined with

Stratified squamous epithelium

The surface of the skin is a good example of ______epithelium

Stratified/ keratinized stratified

Simple ciliated Columnar Epithelium is

Used to raft the mucus from the smaller airways towards the trachea

Squamous epithelium are elevated cells located on our skin

False

Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in structures like

Kidney tubules

Anytime there is an entrance and/or exit in the body you expect to find

Epithelium

The epithelium making up the innermost lining of your blood vessels is called

Endothelium

In simple Epithelium

Each individual cells comprising the epithelium is in contact with the basement membrane

Epithelial tissue

Lines cavities and surfaces of organs

Our first line of defense is our immune system

False

The 4 types of tissues are

Nervous, muscle, connective, epithelium
